Operation
Operation【Flash Mode】
● The Flash Mode can be used to activate the light(s) for short durations in sync with the light emitted by the
camera’s built-in strobe. This mode makes it easier to photograph light-avoiding organisms that are di󱐰cult to
capture when the light is always on.
● "The light intensity level can be selected from High, Mid, or Low and the lighting duration from 0.3 seconds or
1 second. Be sure to read the following instructions before using this mode."
■ Connecting the camera and light(s)
Use a commercially available optical fiber
cable (Sea&Sea or Olympus standard), to
connect the housing's optical fiber socket
to the optical communication receiver port
on the light as shown below.
• The Flash Mode cannot be used when the RGB-RC01 Remote Controller is
used�
• The Remote Controller can be used in the Light Mode� Connect the
Remote Controller to the light(s) using the optical ber cable(s)�
＜ When one light is connected ＞ ＜ When two lights are connected ＞
• Since the Flash Mode uses an infrared beam, it may emit light in reaction
to sunlight� Be sure to connect an optical ber cable before switching the
power ON�

9
Operation
■ Setting the light to Flash Mode
Press and hold the DOWN button (about 2 sec.) when the power is ON (in Standby mode) until the indicator
starts blinking.
○ The power ON/OFF operations are identical to the Light Mode.
○ To return to the normal Light Mode, press the DOWN button again. The indicator is on.
○ To switch the power OFF, press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously.
■ Synchronization of light emission and shutter release
"The light activate in sync with the strobe light input to the optical communication receiver of the light
module.To ensure that the light is synchronized with the camera shutter release, it is recommended to use
the following strobe setting on the camera.
1. Use a mode with pre-ash capability.
2. If the system is capable of RC lighting, you can reduce battery consumption by using RC emission only."
• If the strobe is set to the manual lighting mode, pre-ash may not be
available and it will not be possible to synchronize light module activation
with the shutter release�

10
Operation
■ How to change the brightness
Press the UP button in Flash mode to switch the brightness in 3 steps (High, Mid, and Low).
○ No light is emitted while the light intensity is being selected.
○ Each time the brightness is switched, the indicator’s blinking intervals change. The tables below show how
the blinking intervals change.

■ How to change the illumination duration
Press and hold the UP button (about 1 sec.) in Flash mode to switch the illumination duration in 2 steps (0.3
sec. and 1 sec.).
○ Every time the illumination duration is switched, the indicator’s blinking intervals change. The tables below
show how the blinking intervals change.
○ When the battery is connected, the light intensity is initially set to High and the lighting duration to 0.3
sec. Any settings made by the user will be retained until the battery module is disconnected from the light
module.

Maintenance and Storage
• After  nishing the use of the product, remove the lens, etc� (without
disconnecting the modules) and soak the product in fresh water under
normal temperature for more than one hour to eliminate the salt content�
• After taking the product out of the fresh water, wipe with a dry cloth to
eliminate moisture and let the product dry naturally in a place not exposed
to direct sunlight�
• When the product is not to be used for a long period, disconnect the Light
Module and Battery Module, and attach the module cap to the Battery
Module before storing the two modules�
• The special O-ring and special silicon grease are consumable articles� If you
run out of the spares, please purchase them�
• The battery gradually depletes even in a storage condition since the Battery
Module incorporates a control PCB� Note that it is not malfunction� It is
recommended to recharge the battery before use�
• Do not dry the product with a hair dryer or direct sunlight, as this may
cause degradation or deformation of the product and O-ring, which may
eventually lead to a failure or water penetration�
DANGER

■ Recovery Function
1. Detach the Light Module and Battery Module.
2. Remove any moisture inside each module with a dry, lint-free cloth. Let the modules dry completely.
3. Normal function will be restored when the system
is charged with the AC adapter and charge plug.
○An AC adapter is not included. Use the optional AC
adapter (RGB-PDAC01). A commercially available
USB PD AC adapter (30W, 15V, 2A) can also be
used.
Maintenance after use
About the Recovery Function
● If water penetrates the system, the built-in protection circuit is activated to temporarily prevent the power
from being turned on. To deactivate the protection circuit and restore normal function, follow the steps
below.
WARNING
• Do not plug or unplug the AC adapter or charger adapter with wet hands�
• If they have been exposed to salt water, wipe the salt o󱐯 with a cloth
moistened with fresh water or wash the salt under running water, and then
let them dry completely�
