Caution - Caution - Ca u tion - C a utio n
To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your equipment please take an extra minute to review common errors which will result in equipment damage or destruction.
• Always remove batteries from battery pods before storage
or travel. Failure to do so may inadvertently power-on the lighting system and possibly cause heat damage.
• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and repair scheduling.
• If a battery pod is flooded, immediately remove the battery. POD: rinse with fresh water (good) or rubbing alcohol (better). Shake vigorously, towel dry, and leave the pod where it can drain excess moisture. BATTERY: Dry the battery off, blow any water out of the connectors, and then shake the battery to remove remaining moisture. If there is water inside the battery do not attempt to use it again. If the battery seems damp inside, allow it to dry for at least 24 hours, away from flammable items. Then, on land, charge the battery and test your lights before attempting another dive.
Caution: The Sunray 2000 LED Lighting System is designed for use underwater. Prolonged operation in air may cause the outer surfaces of the light to become hot. Light & Motion recommends that you limit the operation of the Sunray light out of the water to less than two minutes.

2. Service the O-rings (See O-ring maintenance).
3. Replace the front cap onto the pod.
Insure that the removal strap attached to the battery does not interfere with the seal when the end cap is attached to the pod
4. Turn the knob on the end cap clockwise 1/8 turn until it stops. The endcap will now be locked into place. Note that endcaps are specific to the left and right pods.

To attach the arm to the base, place the arm on the base squarely, gently pushing down and rotating arm until you hear a audible click (Refer fig. 4). Remove arm by gently lifting the ring at the base of the arm upward with your thumb and forefinger while rotating the arm itself. The arm will release after 30-degrees of rotation in either direction (Refer fig. 5).

Light Operation
After initial power-up the LED Receiver will flash a green light. This indicates the battery pod is ready to receive IR signals from the housing. IR controls are only available with housings that feature Smart Grips.
Operation with Bluefin Housing
Sunray LED lights can be operated either by the Pod Power Button or from the Smart Grip controls.
Operation from Smart Grips
1. Activate initial power up by pressing the Pod Power Button. (Refer Fig 7).
2. Use the LIGHTS button to cycle through power settings.
3. Turn off lights by pressing and holding the LIGHT button for three seconds.
Operation from Battery Pods
1. Turn on light by pressing the Power Button on the rear cap (Refer Fig 7).
2. Press the red button again to change the light output level.
3. Turn off light by holding the red button down for three seconds
Operation with Stingray Housing
1. Turn on light by pressing the red button on the rear cap. (Refer Fig 7).
2. Press the red button again to change the light output level.
3. Turn off lights by pressing and holding the red button for three seconds.

Operation With Other Brands of Video Housing
1. Turn on light by pressing the red button on the rear cap (Refer Fig 7).
2. Press the red button again to change the light output level.
3. Turn off light by holding the red button down for three seconds.
Post-Dive Cleaning
1. After each dive, you should dunk the lights and pods in fresh water.
2. Press the red button to flush out any salt water.
3. After you are geared down and completely dried off, simply towel dry the lights in a safe dry place.
Do not leave your lights in the rinse bucket with other equipment. Video lights have been damaged by jostling against other products.
Storage
After diving remove your batteries and charge them. Leaving your batteries
discharged will significantly reduce the life of the battery. The lighting system requires no special storing instructions. Store as you would any other valuable piece of electronic equipment.
Other Maintenance
• CLEAN THE CONNECTORS!!! — Pay special attention to the condition of the connectors at the end of the cables. Equally important is the female receptacle in the battery pod. These metal connectors should “shine like a new penny”.
• Apply a light film of O-ring grease to cables and connectors to prevent premature degradation.
