Instructions & Important Information

Thank you for purchasing this
Underwater Kinetics Scuba
Diving light.
est LED technology along

For over a 30 years, UK has
been designing and manu­facturing scuba lights to
enhance the diving experi­ence. We believe that it is
important to take at least one
light on every dive just to see
the incredible beauty that
lies hidden in the shadows
under coral and rocks. Our
lights are the standard for
scuba divers around the
world. We have designed all
of our lights to be incredibly
bright, rugged, compact, and
waterproof to at least 500
feet. You can be assured that
each light includes the latest
technology and is the bright­est, smallest and most pow­erful in its class. With mini­mal care your Underwater
Kinetics light will give you
years of trouble-free service.

Battery Installation

To install batteries, hold the
case in the position shown.
Drop the batteries one by
one into the case in the order
shown. Make sure that the
(+) end of the battery is down
for 1 and 2 and up for batter­ies 3 and 4. Next insert the
lamp module into the case.
Place the bezel over the lamp
module and screw it onto the
case.

ON / OFF

To operate the Mini Q40 eLED
Plus screw the bezel down
by twisting clockwise until
the lamp comes ON. Turn the
light OFF with at least 1-1/2
counter-clockwise turns of
the bezel.

It utilizes the lat-

with UK’s projection optics
to provide you with reliable
high efficiency lighting.

eLED Lamp Module

The eLED module is an inte­grated unit. There are no
replaceable parts . In addi­tion to the LED itself, the
module contains an electron­ic circuit which helps to
maintain constant brightness
as the batteries are dis­charged. Flashlights with
standard filament lamps
loose brightness steadily as
the batteries are consumed.

Beam In And Out-Of-Water

The front element of the
Projection Optics System
allows the 13° out-of-water
beam angle to expand to
almost 20° in-water for
hotspot free illumination of
close-up subjects. The high
color temperature or daylight
quality of the light beam
allows light to travel farther
underwater, due to less
absorption than that which
occurs with light from stan­dard filament lamps.

O-Ring Seal

The O-ring and sealing sur­faces must be kept clean and
lubricated with silicone
grease in order to maintain
the watertight seal and
smooth rotation of the bezel.
During cleaning remove the
O-ring with your fingers. Do
not use tools which can dam­age the O-ring and sealing
surfaces.

O-Ring

Batteries can vent hydrogen
gas and possibly cause an
explosion if they are (1)
installed without the proper
polarity, (2) not the same
type, brand name and age
or (3) completely
discharged.

> Load batteries according

to the diagram.

> Discard all batteries as

soon as they are drained
or no longer produce
light.

> Do not mix batteries of

different type, brand or
age.

Care and Maintenance

■ Keep area around the
O-ring clean.

■ If the light floods, empty it
immediately, rinse with
fresh water and dry com­pletely before reassembly.

■ Replace the
reflector/lamp, which con­tains a hydrogen absorbing
catalyst, if it gets wet.

■ Do not store batteries in
the light for long periods of
time; they may leak and
damage the light.
