1. Check the strobe ready light. Turn the strobe OFF and then back ON. Make sure
that the switch has actually clicked into position.
2. Make sure the charger is operating properly and the NiMHs are fully charged.
3. Check the mode switches on the camera and strobe.
4.Check the sync cord connection at the camera and strobe.
5. When using a sync cord between the camera and strobe, disconnect the cord
from the camera, but leave the cord connected to the strobe. Short across the
pins on the end of the cord to test fire the strobe. If you short across the wrong
receptacles on a TTL sync cord, it may damage the Substrobe electronics.

The Ikelite SUBSTROBE should be given the same care and attention as your other
photographic equipment. In addition to normal procedures, we strongly recommend that
this strobe be returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
1. We suggest storage of your Substrobe with the locking lever OPEN to allow any
hydrogen/air mixture to escape.
2. Always rinse the exterior of the Substrobe with fresh water after use. The strobe
can be cleaned by soaking it in a mild soapy solution. Use liquid soap; RINSE and DRY
the strobe before storage.
3. The o-ring #0132.36 is located on the inside rim of the DS125 battery pack. Keep
the o-ring and the sealing surfaces clean.

stretch the o-ring when cleaning.
It is not necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it may
crack the plastic.
4.Keep the strobe bulkhead connector threads clean and lightly lubricated. Also
keep the sync cord o-ring and threads clean and lightly lubricated.
5.
Recharge the NiMH pack after each use;

The DS125 electronics are safely sealed separately from the battery pack. Should the
battery pack flood, flush with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Determine the cause of
flooding. REPLACE THE COMPLETE BATTERY PACK #4066.5. Never re-use batteries
that have been wet. The water could create an internal short circuit at some later date
causing a potential explosion. DO NOT disassemble the strobe, NiMH pack.
Send the strobe head in for service if there is any discoloration of the battery pins.
