IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• Always store your light fully charged
• Always lock the slide switch and turn off the power knob when
traveling or in storage
• Never leave your equipment in the rinse bucket. It may be damaged
by other equipment
• Rinse equipment in fresh water after every dive.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION!
Please read this manual carefully: the SOLA is a professional underwater video light
which can produce high levels of light and heat, and must be used with care.
• Do not turn your SOLA on outside of the water for more than a few seconds at
a time. It is designed to be cooled by surrounding water, and may overheat if it
is not adequately cooled.
• Never look directly at the SOLA LEDs when turned on.
• The Sola has a power knob that completely disconnects the battery from the
circuit for travel. In addition the LED head module can be removed if required
by airport security.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Rinse your Sola thoroughly in fresh water after every dive. This will prevent
corrosion and salt buildup.
• If the LED head module or front port has been removed, inspect the o-ring and
sealing surfaces for dirt and defects and if necessary add a light film of O-ring
grease before re-assembling.
• Store the SOLA in a cool, dry place with its batteries at least 1/2 charged and
the slide switch in the locked position and the power knob OFF. Charge batter-
ies every 60 days when not in use.
• Do not store the Sola with its batteries discharged as this can cause permanent
damage to the batteries.
• Avoid display image ‘burn-in’ by disconnecting the charger and turning the unit
off after charging is complete; leaving the unit plugged into charging power for
extended periods of time may result in cosmetic visible display change.
TIPS AND TRICKS
• Conserve your battery by not burning your SOLA at full brightness. For example
half the brightness yields twice the runtime.
• Light & Motion has provided a D-ring for attaching a lanyard to the bottom of
the SOLA; it is recommended to tether the SOLA using the D-ring to your hous-
ing as a security precaution.
• When using the ¾” Locline arms, it is effective to grasp the light at the ¾” Lo-
cline base of the light to move it. This minimizes any risk of accidentally popping
the light off of the arm.
