Removing Batteries
1) Rotate latch at the front of the pod counter-clockwise 1/8 turn or until it
stops.
2) Pull the front cap off the pod.
3) Pull the battery from the pod using removal strap (Refer Fig. 3 & 4).
Mounting Battery Pods
Battery Pods can be mounted prior to installing batteries
into pods.
1) Remove the rear plate or monitor back of the housing.
2) Slide the battery pods into housing channels (Refer fig. 3 & 4).
3) Insert Pod Locker between the pods and tighten using 1/8” allen wrench
(Refer fig. 5). Do not over tighten.
Installing and Using QuickConnects
Depending on which housing you purchased and if you purchased SunRay Pro-
S Lights separately, you may need to install QuickConnects to the housing,
light, or light arm or all three. If your housing and light system already has
QuickConnects attached or has universal mounts, skip ahead to the
appropriate section for light system assembly

Charging Batteries
Due to shipping, batteries charge states will vary. It is
recommended that you charge your Mini TC batteries
when they are received.
1) The charger can accept an electrical range of 100 - 240v and 50 - 60hz.
2) The charger has two LED lights, one green and one yellow.
Green LED illuminates when charger is receiving power.
Yellow LED is illuminated when charging and blinking when charge is
complete.
3) To attach charger to battery, align arrow on charger connector with arrow on
battery label and push together until connectors seat. (Refer fig. 1)
Charge time for the 10.8v fast charger is approximately 1.5
hours.
Installing Batteries
1) Slide the battery back into the pod with the contact end inserted first so that
the connector will align with the socket inside the pod. (Refer fig. 2)
2) Servicing 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. The endcaps are specific to the left and right
pods.

MountingLightHeadQuickConnect
1) Remove the attached arm mount using a 1/8 allen wrench.
2) Align QuickConnect details with slots on light head.
3) Tighten Socket Cap Screw to secure mount to light head.
MountingQuickConnectBase
1) Remove arm base using 5/32 allen wrench.
2) Attach QuickConnect and tighten Socket Cap Screw.
Attaching Light Arm to Light and Housing
1) Align arm mounts into slots on light or housing base.
2) Push slightly and rotate clockwise. Arm should click into place.
Removing Light Arm from Light Head and Housing (ReferFig.6)
1) Pull lock ring away from light or housing and rotate counter-clockwise.
Assembly with Universal Mounts
MountingArmtoHousing
Press arm FIRMLY into base until arm snaps into place (Refer fig. 7).
MountingArmtoLightHeads
Align top of arm with arm light head base and press FIRMLY together. Arm
should snap into position. (Refer fig. 8).
RemovingArmfromLightHeads
To remove light head from arm, “break” the arm at the upper most joint.
Applying pressure on the Light Arm and not the Light Head (Refer fig. 9). Do
not apply pressure to the Light Head Base (Refer fig. 10). Doing so may cause
the Base to break from the Light Head damaging the light.

O-ring care & maintenance
O-rings are the critical component that keeps water out of the equipment
and the electrical components dry. Routinely inspect o-rings and replace
at least once per year. If your o-rings become unusable, contact the Light
& Motion Service department for an o-ring replacement kit.
Follow these steps for proper o-ring function.
1) The sealing system used on the front cap incorporates one o-ring. This is the
most critical area of the battery pod for maintenance and should be inspected
before every dive.
2) Make sure the battery pod o-ring and the mating surface on the inside of the
main housing are clean from grit, hair, lint and anything that could
potentially breach the o-ring seal.
3) After frequent diving or if o-rings or grooves appear dirty, remove o-rings
and clean the grooves. To remove o-rings, use finger pressure or the rounded
edge of a plastic card to lift the o-ring out of the groove.
Never use a metal object to remove an o-ring. It will cause
damage to the o-ring.
4) To check o-rings for damage, place the o-ring between the middle and index
finger and thumb. Then pull the o-ring through your fingers, feeling for any
debris or wear.
5) If o-rings are dirty, it is best to replace them. Washing dirty o-rings with soap
and water is not recommended. Soap breaks down the lubricants and will
compromise the integrity of the seal.
6) Properly greased o-rings will help maintain sealing integrity and minimize
o-ring degradation. Use enough grease to lubricate the o-ring thoroughly, but
not so much that it will attract additional debris.
7) Clean the groove with a lint free swab or the folded edge of a paper towel.
Other Maintenance
•Apply a light film of o-ring grease to cables and connectors to prevent pre-
mature degradation.
• We highly recommend a factory annual service to maintain proper operation
of your SunRay Lights.
•If a battery pod is flooded, immediately remove the battery, and rinse the
pod with fresh water. Most non-electrical parts will be salvageable if not
corroded by salt water.

OperationwithBlueFinhousing
Pro 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 11).
After initial power up lights may be controlled using LIGHT button on the
Smart Grip controls.
2) Turn off lights by pressing the LIGHT button.
Operation from Battery Pods
1) Turn on light by pressing the Power Button on the rear cap (Refer Fig 11).
2) Turn off light by pressing the Power Button on the rear cap.
OperationwithStingRayhousing
1) Turn on light by pressing the red button on the rear cap (Refer Fig 11).
2) Turn off light by pressing the Power Button on the rear cap.
Operationwithotherbrandhousing
Light & Motion light systems can be adapted to fit most underwater video
housings regardless of manufacturer. At the time of purchase, if this was the
intent, you received the correct mounting hardware. Contact the Light &
Motion service department if parts are needed or for specific assembly
instructions.
1) Turn on light by pressing the red button on the rear cap (Refer Fig 11).
2) 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 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. Underwater gear has been known to be
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. Store as you would
any other valuable piece of electronic equipment.
