Turn the strobe OFF, and place the strobe face down on a flat surface.
Slide the locking lever out by either grasping the sides of the lever and pulling it out

OR use your thumb to apply slight pressure to the top of the lever and slide it out.

Flip the lever up and then rotate the lever counter-clockwise 90°. The internal

spring automatically pushes open the strobe. Lift the rear section off of the strobe front.

The rear section is the NiMH battery pack for the strobe.

The rear NiMH pack does NOT remain waterproof when removed from the strobe.

Therefore, we suggest keeping the open portion of the NiMH pack pointed down while

removing to eliminate the possibility of water droplets falling inside. The NiMH batteries

remain permanently secured inside the pack.

The front section of the DS125, which houses the main electronics, is safely sealed

separately from the NiMH pack. The front section will remain waterproof when the

NiMH pack is removed. However, avoid salt-water contact with the battery pins.

Damage/corrosion can cause short circuiting.

Make sure the power switch has been rotated to the off position.
Place the front of the strobe face down on a flat surface. Check that the o-ring and

sealing surfaces are clean; make sure the o-ring is positioned properly inside the rim of

the NiMH pack. Place the locking lever in the open position (slide the lever out, flip the

lever up, and rotate the lever counterclockwise).

Align the front and rear sections of the strobe. Lower the NiMH pack onto the front

section of the strobe. Proper alignment of the two sections is extremely important to

avoid possible damage to the internal components.

To seal the strobe, simply press down slightly on the rear of the NiMH pack and

rotate the lever clockwise. Flip the lever down and then slide the lever in to the locked

position to properly seal the strobe.
