6. OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE LAMP
To switch ON, select individual modes and switch OFF the lamp, press the button marked with the ATON
logo on the head of the lamp.
The ATON PRESS system is based on the evaluation of micro-deformation of the material at the point
of compression.
It is important to learn how to operate the lamp
before first use underwater.
Pressing the lamp for the first time will switch it ON, and each press will switch cyclically between power
levels :
20%
power - 480 lm >
50%
power - 1010 lm >
100%
power - 1830 lm
It is necessary to keep min. 1 sec. between each press.
Press the button twice and more quickly ( < 0.6s ) to switch the lamp OFF again.
Thermal protection
It protects the lamp against overheating outside the aquatic environment.
When the critical temperature of 50-55 °C is reached on the head surface, the lamp switches itself to the
lowest power. If the ambient temperature is so high that there is still a temperature rise, the lamp turns
OFF completely. Once the temperature has dropped to a safe operating level, the lamp can be reused
without restriction.
Battery status indication by color LED
It indicates the current battery charge status. This will warn user in time not to be left without a light
source in a critical situation (e.g. in overhead environment or during a night dive) and have enough time to
safely finish the dive.
Blue
- fully charged, 90-100% capacity
Green
- 30-90% capacity
Red
- 0-30% capacity, discharged
Do not forget to check the functionality of the diving light before starting the dive.
When using underwater, do not turn the lamp head. It could be unscrewed and damaged by water
leaks.
7. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE OF THE LAMP
Before each dive, ensure that the lamp is properly charged and functional. Check the condition of the
lamp for damage, especially the cleanliness and lubrication of both O-rings and the surfaces on which
they move.
The O-rings and threads on the lamp head and the battery case must be inspected, cleaned and
greased with the grease provided with each disassembly. Otherwise you risk water ingress and
damage of the lamp. Neglect of maintenance is not covered by the warranty.
Never insert metal (electrically conductive) tools into the battery charging connector. This will
cause a short circuit and damage the lamp.
Do not connect any devices, such as connectors, wires, power and current sources, measuring
equipment, other batteries or non-original chargers, to the lamp head or battery charging
connector. This could result injury and irreversible damage to the lamp not covered by the
warranty.
