Normally the plug contacts are maintenance free. However, if you use your Betty R light in humid,
salt- air, environments, it’s advisable to apply a thin layer of
Lupine Dutch Grease
to the contacts every
so often to prevent oxidation.
Do NOT use terminal grease or contact spray.
Important:
Always keep the battery separate from the Betty R light,
because otherwise the small
amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may switch on
accidently.
Important!
Moreover, the consequent uncontrolled heat buildup could cause a fire or
melt the adjacent plastic material. Could cause fire or death
!
During lengthy periods of non-use, fully charge the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, basement
or the like. The battery can be kept plugged into the charger if desired.
Open the light housing’s front screw-on cover. Grasp the rear section of the lamp with one hand while
rotating the front section of the cover to the left (counterclockwise) with the other hand. Once you
have removed the cover, you will see the 7-array lens. Do not touch it.
Check to ensure that the O-ring on the rear section of the housing is correctly positioned.
The housing will only be waterproof if its O-ring is intact. After completing this inspection, carefully
screw down the housing cover.
Important note:
if the thread runs smooth, the cap is in the right
position. Otherwise please stop and screw back the cover and try again, otherwise you might
damage the thread.
