The orings sealing the body to the head should be lightly smeared with
technical petroleum jelly (vaseline) or other nonaggressive grease which
makes it easier to operate the light underwater and makes it watertight.
Remove any dust or grain from the orings before twisting the body to the
head.
While slowly twisting the body to the head make sure the sealing orings
are correctly placed in their position and are not twisted or sticking out.
Orings should sit firmly in their grooves and should not be too loose as
they may not work properly underwater.
When needed, clean with a tissue the unanodised ring on the body and the
golden ring around the spring in the light head - these surfaces might get
dirty with grease (normal result of usage) which might block or limit the
connection between the body (battery pack) and light head.
Storage
Rinse the video light in lukewarm fresh water - make sure the body is
twisted to the head while doing it. Dry it thoroughly and check its overall
condition.
Store the light with battery pack charged.
Check the orings’ condition, clean and grease if needed.
Store the light in a dry place, away from moist.
Make sure the light does not go on accidentally during transport or storage.
The charger shown above is one of the two types available with the Video Light 3XML.
