Before you start:
The new OMS HID light is shipped from the factory with a special Lithium Ion battery in a partially
charged state. The unit must be fully charged before its first use (see charge instructions below).
1. DO NOT UNSCREW TOP CAP (Cap with light cable). This has a 3-5 year seal life.
2. Unscrew bottom cap of battery canister (the cap without the light cord). Use 2 strap wrenches if
difficult to unscrew. Do not use metal tools as they will damage the cap and canister.
2. Disconnect the male and female Molex connectors.
3. You now have (2) ways to charge your battery:
a.
Connect the adapter and charger together and then connect the
female Molex connector exiting the battery to the male Molex exiting the “charger”. Then plug in.
The Red and Green LED's will light during the charge. After the charge is complete (approx. 4 hrs.)
the red LED will go out and the green LED will remain on indicating the float mode.
b. With the Car adapter/Charger: Connect the Car adapter plug into the Charger. Connect the Male
Molex connector exiting the Charger to the female Molex connector exiting the battery. Charge for
for approximately 4 hours.
4. After charging, unclip the connectors by holding the plastic connectors and gently pull apart.
Reconnect
the light head Molex connector to the battery Molex connector in the battery canister.
5. Inspect Cap: Make sure that the threads and 'O' ring are clean and free of sand or dirt to prevent
damage or flooding. 'O' ring should have a thin film of 'O' ring grease.
6. Caution: Use extreme care when assembling or disassembling the bottom plastic battery canister
cap to prevent cross threading.
Reassembling Top or Bottom Battery Canister Caps: Caution: Lubricate threads of cap and inner
threads of PVC canister with Silicone grease before reassembly. Carefully place the inner part of the
cap into canister. Turn cap slightly counter clockwise until you hear the cap “seat”, then proceed to
turn cap clockwise until it is completely tight.
If necessary use “rubber friction gripper pads” to tighten caps (DO NOT USE TOOLS). Caution: If the
cap becomes very hard to turn during assembly STOP, back it off and carefully reassemble. If you
are unable to completely seat cap into canister, obtain an RMA from OMS and send the light for
repair.
Caution: During disassembly of the Light Cord CAP, the battery may cause the internal aluminum
retaining ring that holds the bottom of the battery to turn. If this ring is not properly adjusted to accept
the overall length of the battery, the battery will not fit and the top light cord cap will not fully close.

WARNING:
Caution:
With the Adapter/Charger:
Use only the OMS charger. Use of any other charger may
result in fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious personal injury or
property damage. Recharge the battery after every use, as deep discharge
will reduce life. Charger should be attached to battery before the plug is
inserted into AC socket
Under no circumstances pull the Molex connectors apart using
the electrical cords as you will damage the electrical connections.

Charging the batteries:
The hard coat anodized aluminum top cap is factory sealed and
should not be removed for a period of at least 3-5 years.

Removing the battery:
Reinstalling the battery:
1.Before starting, secure light the head so it does not fall (place in pocket or place on
floor). 2. Unscrew the bottom battery canister cap. 3. Disconnect the battery Molex
connector from the light head Molex connector. 4.Unscrew the battery retaining ring. 5.
Slide battery out.
: Unscrew
the bottom canister cap, then disconnect the light head and battery Molex connectors. If
your light is equipped with a switch lock, screw down the black locking screw while the
switch is in the OFF position. Reinstall the canister cap. Before diving, the switch lock
should be backed off so that it is flush with the bottom of the switch (area between the
bottom of switch and top of light body)
1. Before starting, secure light head so it does not fall (place in pocket or place on floor).
2. Unscrew the bottom battery canister cap. 3. Slide the wireless end of the battery into
the canister first (Molex connector should be opposite the cap with the light cord). 4.
Screw in the battery retaining ring. 5. Reconnect the battery and light cable Molex
connectors and place them in the recess of the bottom battery cap. 6. Lubricate and
replace the battery cap.
Make sure that you locate the canister bands below the threaded area of
the caps. Failure to correctly locate the bands away from the threaded area of the caps
may make the caps impossible to remove.
Disconnecting the battery and switch locking for travel
