hand and the light body and lanyard in the other.  Pull them sharply away from each 
other.  Then slide the new flashguard in place until it clicks into the locked position. 

To replace the battery door, just unscrew the wire cable from the insert in the battery 
compartment.  To install new battery door, screw the cable end through the insert in the 
battery compartment.  The cable is held in place after the threaded cable-end goes all the 
way through the insert. 

To replace the IR filter, remove the old filter by locking it in the IR position, then slide a 
7 level screwdriver between the flashguard case and the IR filter attachment leg twist the 
screwdriver or pry upward and the leg will pop off of the retainer.  Put the replacement 
filter into place then press with thumb to seat legs over retainers.
