Closing the Compartment

Check that the o-ring and sealing surfaces are clean. Make sure the
o-ring is back in its original position and free of any debris.
Lubricating the o-ring will NOT result in a better "seal" to the strobe
and is not necessary. Lubricant can be added before storage to help
extend the life of the o-ring. The o-ring is seated in the battery door
channel and does not need to be removed. Frequent removal of the
o-ring can increase the risk of dirt or debris getting into the o-ring
channel and causing a leak. If the o-ring needs to be removed, do
not use a screwdriver or other sharp instrument that may damage the
o-ring channel and result in a leak.
Replace the battery door. Make sure the door fits into the recess
around the battery compartment. Rotate the knob clockwise several
times and firmly hand-tighten to assure the proper o-ring seal;
otherwise, the battery compartment may leak. The o-ring seal is
visible through the battery door. Visually confirm that there is
a solid black line which indicates a seal all the way around the
door.
