- Do not charge on paper, carpet or anything flammable as the battery and charger may DANGER become hot while recharging. - Do not charge with coiled cables as heat build-up may result in fire. - Do not handle with wet hands or charge under wet conditions to avoid electrocution. - Do not charge any batteries that have been flooded, or are suspected of having water intrusion. WARNING - Make sure there is no dirt or water on the charging connector terminal before charging. If there is any dirt or water, clean it thoroughly. It may cause not only damage to the product but the risk of electrocution. - If the unit is recharged with the light head facing down, ensure the light is not switched on. - Remove the Charging plug II promptly once charging is complete. Leaving the charger connected may result in shortage of the adaptor and fire. - Do not use underwater while Charging plug II remains connected with the light. Charging plug II is NOT waterproof. - The Charger is multi-volt compatible (100–240V), but using at a resort or on a cruise ship with in-house power generation may cause highly unstable voltage output and result in damage to the charger. We recommend using a converter with a built-in safety circuit. CAUTION - Charge in a stable position to avoid the plug being disconnected from the charging connector due to vibration, impact shock or dropping. - Leaving the charging connector plugged in may cause over-discharge rendering the battery unable to to take a subsequent charge. - The charging connector terminal of the light is waterproof but if seawater remains after use, it may cause corrosion. - The Charging plug II cap protects and prevents water intrusion for the charging connector terminal. We strongly recommend attaching the Charging plug II cap while diving to protect the charging connector terminal from seawater. - Do not leave the battery or charger in areas where the temperature could exceed 30° C (86° F) or in direct sunlight.
How to Operate Minus adjustment button (-) Plus adjustment button (+) Power button Lock lever ● Wide beam Pressing the power button once turns the Wide beam and Wide beam display on. Wide beam turned on ● Spot beam Holding down the power button for about 1 second while the Wide beam is on switches to the Spot beam and turns on the Spot beam display. Spot beam turned on ● Red beam Holding down the minus(-) and power buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds while the Wide or Spot beams are on switches to the Red beam and turns on the Red beam display. Red beam turned on Hold down both buttons simultaneously ● Output adjustment by power button The output circulates in order of [25%] > [50%] > [75%] > [100%] each time the power button is pressed. ●...
● Turning-off When Wide beam is on Holding down the power button for about 2 seconds switches to Spot beam momentarily then turns off. When Spot beam is on Holding down the power button for about 2 seconds switches to Wide beam momentarily then turns off. When Red beam is on Holding down the power button for about 2 seconds switches to Wide beam momentarily then turns off. This product has a default function to remember the luminous power setting when the power is NOTE turned off, and turns on at the same luminous power next time the power is turned on. For example, when it is turned off at 50% luminous power, the next time the power is turned on it turns on at 50% luminous power. Furthermore, when a different luminous power is set for Wide, Spot or Red beam, the respective luminous power is remembered. It turns on with the same mode as when turned off. ● Lock lever Slide the power lock lever to the right to lock the power button. This prevents erroneous lighting. ● Automatic shut-off(ASO) mode When the optical sensor detects a strobe light, it will turn off automatically, it will turn on automatically in 1 second. ・Wide beam Holding down both adjustment buttons (+)...
● Blink signal mode To turn on the Blink signal mode, hold down both the plus adjustment (+) and power buttons for about 2 seconds. To return to the previous state, hold down both the plus adjustment (+) and power buttons fro about 1 second. Press simultaneously High temperature protection mode If the light head reaches over 55° C (131° F), it automatically moves to protection mode and decreases the output to 20%. The [Hot] warning is displayed on the LCD panel. If this function engages, we recommend turning off the power and cooling down the light head. Use caution when handling such as not touching the light head with bare hands, as it may get extremely hot. When the temperature drops below 45° C (113° F), it returns to normal mode. CAUTION - Please set the output amount to 25% or less when you use in air. - Use caution when handling the light head in air as it may get extremely hot and cause burn injury. Safety mode When the battery power is almost depleted, the output automatically drops to 20% and the battery display will begin to blink. Remaining time [10min] will be displayed on the LCD and a countdown will start. Output adjustment is not possible when it has entered Safety mode. - After entering Safety mode, start surfacing immediately for your safety. CAUTION - Please note the remaining burn time displayed on the LCD panel may differ from the actual burn time due to the battery condition or circumstances such as surrounding water temperature.

Maintenance O-ring The FIX NEO light maintains the waterproof function with exclusive O-rings. Two O-rings between the body and light head require user maintenance. If you do not use it for a long time, please apply a thin coat of bundled O-ring grease to the O-rings and store . We also recommend replacing the O-rings annually. - Use the bundled O-ring remover when you remove the O-rings. Do not use sharp metal tools CAUTION such as the edge of scissors or a knife. - Apply a thin coat of the bundled O-ring grease to prevent friction or deterioration of the O-rings. Make sure that there is no sand, small lint or hair. Be careful not to apply too much O-ring grease as it may attract more lint or dust. - Do not use if there are any small cuts or cracks on the O-ring surface. Replace with a spare O-ring immediately. - Make sure there is no sand, small lint or hair, on the O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface. Also make sure there are no scratches or cracks. - When you install the O-ring to the groove, make sure the O-ring is uniform with no twists or bulges. - Perform O-ring and O-ring groove checks and grease-up every time you open/close the body. Pre-dive We recommended performing a pre-dive leakage check before using this product. Horizontally submerge this product in a tub or bowl filled with water. Take the product out of the water at 3- second, 30-second and 3-minute intervals and open the light head to make sure there is no water inside.
Care and storage 1. After use, submerge the light in fresh water for about 10-20 minutes. Also, press power and adjustment buttons several times in fresh water to wash off any salt around the buttons. It is even more effective if you use salt damage prevention solution SALT-AWAY which is NOTE included in the FIX maintenance kit (sold separately). If residual salt dries, it crystallizes and will not dissolve in water. The crystallized salt may push up CAUTION the O-ring and causes flooding. Make sure to submerge in fresh water to wash off all the salt. 2. Rinse with slow flowing water after taking out of fresh water. Do not use high pressure water from one direction as it may cause flooding. 3. Wipe well with a soft dry cloth after washing with water. Do not dry in direct sunlight or with a dryer or stove as it may cause failure, deformation or damage. 4. After use, apply a thin coat of O-ring grease and store. We recommend replacing the O-ring annually. 5. If you do not use for a long time avoid areas with high temperature/humidity, direct sunlight and extreme low temperatures when storing. 6. Never use any organic solvents (alcohol, benzene, thinner etc.) or neutral detergents as it may cause deformation or damage. In case of flooding This product is structured to minimize damage even in the case of water intrusion, but if you recognize or suspect flooding, stop using immediately and contact your local retailer for service. Service Regular overhaul is recommended every 1-2 years, regardless of the frequency of use. There are waterproof parts inside this product that cannot be replaced by users. Exchanging and maintaining these parts regularly prevents flooding accidents and extends the product's life. Please ask our customer service for overhaul for products that have exceeded a certain period.
