Keep the o-ring and sealing surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not
necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it will crack the plastic.
Place the clean o-ring on the inner ledge of the front head assembly.

• Make sure the on/off switch has been rotated to the off position.
• Place the front assembly face down on a flat surface. Check that the o-ring and sealing surfaces
are clean; make sure the o-ring is positioned properly.
• Place the locking lever in the open position (slide the lever out, flip the lever up, and rotate the
lever counterclockwise).
• Align the handle on the body with the front assembly as referenced. Lower the body on the
front. Proper alignment of the body with the front is extremely important to avoid possible
damage to the internal components.
• To seal the light, simply reverse the opening sequence. Press down slightly on the body and
rotate the lever clockwise. Flip the lever down and slide the lever in to the locked position.

The RCD H features the high intensity 5.0V lamp producing an incredibly bright penetrating
medium spot beam intended primarily for underwater use. Alkaline batteries provide 7.5-watt
initial intensity and 5-6 hours of high intensity light. Consumer ni-cads reduce the intensity and
burn time.
