SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
A) Read this manual carefully before using the dive light.
B) Prior to air travel, disconnect the cable lamp from the battery pack. Also discharge
the battery pack, so as to prevent overheating should the lamp be switched on by
accidental impact or mishandling.

HOW TO USE THE DIVE LIGHT:
Charging (with the MP1100/MP2500 charger)
The charger is suitable for mains between 100-240 Vac. We deliver the battery pack empty, so it is important to charge the empty
pack completely with a full charge cycle.
Make sure that the connectors are completely clean and dry. Securely plug the charge connector into the battery pack .
The charger is fitted with a Delta-V charge controller. The charge controller switches over to pulse charging as soon as the battery
reaches its full power. Please wait until the small light (LED) on the charger lights green continuously before you disconnect the
charger from the battery pack.
Battery test: the LED indication will flash red 5 sec.
Charging: The LED indication lights red continuously.
Battery pack full / trickle charge: the LED indication lights green continuously.
Warning:
Always use the charger that is delivered with the dive light!!! The use of other chargers can damage the battery cells
inside!!!
The cable-light connector
The connection of the cable-light to the battery pack is done by placing the connector in the water seal connector seat on the battery
pack. The connection is made with a little inward push and a turn to the right. Disconnection is done by doing the same sequence in
reverse.
Make sure that the connectors are completely clean and dry. When necessary, clean the O-ring and use a little bit of silicone
grease to produce a better water tight seal.
Warning:
Never disconnect the the light from the battery pack under water!!!! This will damage the connector inside the battery
pack!!!!!
Switching on and off (KL1255/KL1270)
You switch the light on by pushing the button and turning the switch to the right, the light power varies from 0 until 100%. When the
switch is turned about 30 degrees you can feel a heavy point, which indicates approximately 50% light power.
When you push the button and turn further to the left you will lock the switch.
Remark:
To prevent overheating of your light bulb we strongly advise you not to turn the light on above water. When you want to use the dive
light above water we advise you to use a light bulb of 35 Watt or less!
Warning signal when the battery reaches its minimum power
When the battery pack reaches its minimum power it will go automatically into reserve mode. This means that the light switches over
to a blink mode) which gives you an extra 8 minutes before the light switches off. During this reserve time the light will blink several
times every minute. To prevent your battery for depth discharging the light will switch off completely at the end of the reserve mode.
Remark:
If you don't use the torch for a longer time we advise you to disconnect the cable-light from the battery pack to prevent discharging of
the battery pack.
Never store the battery pack uncharged for a long period. If the battery pack is not used for a long period, we advise you
first to charge the battery pack completely and then every three months to dis- and recharge the battery pack completely.
Replacing the light bulbs
Turn the ring to the left and remove the front glass. Remove the light bulb. Insert the new bulb. Rinse the O-ring and grease it with
silicone grease. Replace the front glass and turn it to the right until it is firmly in place.
