3/3
Battery should not be longer
than its pocket. It should not go
beyond the marked edge of the
pocket. A longer battery may
cause improper working of the
backup torch.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
I have flooded my backup.
I can see some water inside the
head.
In case of flooding the torch: untwist the head from the body, remove the
battery and dry it, the inside should be rinsed with fresh lukewarm water and
backup should be left open for the time of at least 72 hours. The head should
be left to dry with the glass directed downwards while drying. The flooding of
the head may result in lowering the power of emitted light. Check the battery’s
manufacturer advice for flooding the battery. For safety reason do not use the
battery again. Contact the light-for-me manufacturer.
I charge the batteries full but
still get less burn time than
stated.
It is recommended to use high quality genuine batteries. Burn times given
with each backup torch are based on the data given by their manufacturers.
Burn time may differ +/-10% from the stated one depending on the ambient
conditions when diving and battery- / charger-related issues. If the burn time
is visibly shorter, try the backup with a different battery. If in doubt, contact
the light-for-me manufacturer.
The light flashes from time to
time, even with fully charged
batteries.
Check the battery - charge it if necessary; damaged or suspiciously looking
battery should be replaced with a new one. Check the backup with a different
battery. Clean the ‘touch surfaces’ described above. Should the issue
continue, contact the light-for-me manufacturer.
I have forgotten to take out the
batteries after my last dive and
the backup does not work now.
Check the battery’s manufacturer for advise. Clean the ‘touch surfaces’
described above. Check the backup with a different battery. If the issue
continues, contact the light-for-me manufacturer.
