Tektite L12 Seeker LED Light System Instructions
Your L12 Seeker comes with the battery disconnected and uncharged. Follow these directions to set up
your new light:
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1)
To open the battery canister, slide the supplied “Pin wrench” partway out of the bottom lid hole
and use it for leverage to loosen the lid.
2)
The battery should only be accessed through the bottom lid.
Removal of the top lid could cause twisting and damage to the wiring
.
3)
The lid has two O-rings—the thicker O-ring is placed in the groove and the thinner O-ring at the
top.
4)
The battery will be unplugged. Gently move the plugs out of the way of the battery, and remove
battery from canister.
5)
Verify that the charger you are using is for the L12 SEEKER (
many chargers look alike
). Never
use a charger other than a Tektite approved charger for this battery.
6)
Plug the charger into the wall outlet then connect the battery to the charger.
ALWAYS charge the battery OUTSIDE the canister.
7)
Charger light will illuminate during charging.
8)
Battery will be fully charged in 18 to 24 hours. The trickle charger light will remain on as long as
the battery is connected.
You should charge the battery once a month when the battery is not being used.
9)
Use caution to prevent shorting terminals or wiring.
10)
Use caution when handling the battery; avoid dropping or denting the battery pack, as this could
cause a short.
11)
Keep battery charged to ensure a long and dependable battery life.
12)
Improper use could result in a potential fire or explosion.
13)
Store the battery outside the canister.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY (When you are ready to use your light)
1) ALWAYS check the lid O-rings for nicks and dirt. Use a clean, lint free cloth to wipe the O-rings.
Check the O-rings to insure they are properly positioned. A light coating of silicone O-ring grease
is all that is required (a starter tube is included).
Remember, O-rings are what make the light waterproof; excess grease just picks up
dirt and doesn't add additional sealing.
2) Disconnect your battery from the charger and slide it into the canister being careful not to catch or
pinch the wires.
3) Connect the battery plugs.
4) Place the lid onto the canister, carefully screw closed the lid, being careful not to catch or pinch
the wires.
5) Attach battery canister to belt or equipment harness.
HINT: Position the battery canister so that the switch is within easy reach.
6) Verify operation.
Tektite LED lights can be operated out of water.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Position the battery canister so that the switch is within easy reach.
2) Turn the switch on by squeezing the switch lever together towards the cord connector, with thumb
and forefinger.
With a few practice tries, you'll be able to
feel
when the switch is in the “
on
” position.
3) When you are finished diving, rinse the entire system with fresh water, dry it off, open the canister
and disconnect the battery before storage.
