Washing the light

With the Light Unit battery door firmly closed, clean visible particles of debris from the body of the light with assistance of running water. If the light has stubborn stains, use a damp cloth. Phillips head detail Product Maintenance English Page 2 / 2 Secure mounting: Whichever way your light is being used, make sure to check that all mounting points are fastened tightly before use. Mount hardware parts have phillips head screwdriver details to assist you with tightening each fastener adequately. Waterproof seal care: If you’re using your [qudos] Action Light in extreme sports like diving, downhilll mountain-biking or in any environment that it’s likely to become dirty or saturated, there are two things you must do regularly, if not after every use. Saltwater applications: It is essential to rinse the light after use to reduce degradation caused by corrosion. Checking and cleaning the seal area: With the battery door open, check that all visible sealing surfaces are clear of dirt and debris. If dirt and debris are visible, remove and clean the seal, door and housing sealing surfaces with a clean/dry lint-free cloth. The sealing area of the light has a factory-applied silicone grease. We recommend you re-apply a quality silicone grease to all sealing surfaces before reassembling and using the light. Battery Storage: When the light is not used for extended periods (more than fourteen daysv) users should implement Storage Mode. Use of this feature will optimise the life of the battery. After storage, recharge the battery to full before use. Run time variations: The [qudos] Action Light runtimes stated are based on tests carried out at room temperature. The light will operate best between 0oC (32oF) and 40oC (104oF). Runtimes will vary depending on the external temperature. LiPo batteries have a chemistry that is vulnerable to environment and temperature, therefore runtimes will vary depending on these prevailing conditions.
