RCD Super-8(Alkaline 8-cell)

Accepts eight D-cell batteries, alkaline or ni-cad.

The RCD Super-8 features the super intense 10V halogen lamp producing an incredibly bright penetrating medium spot beam intended primarily for underwater use. Alkaline batteries provide 15W initial intensity and 6 hours of high intensity light. Consumer ni-cads reduce the intensity and burn time.

BATTERY INSTALLATION_________________________

• Note the polarity markings on the front head assembly.

• The four batteries closest to the handle must be inserted positive end DOWN; the back four

batteries must be inserted positive end UP.

• For best performance, we recommend Energizer® alkaline batteries.

In an emergency, use a common PR-size bulb approximating 10V.

Otherwise, you will damage the ni-cad module when the body is secured.

BULB REPLACEMENT___________________________________________________________

Use 4.7V bulb #0040.18 for the RCD HR and 6V bulb #0040.20 for the Super-8R. Make sure the old bulb is cool. Remove ni-cad module to access the bulb holder. Squeeze the ends of bulb holder and remove. Insert new bulb in the holder. DO NOT touch the bulb because of the oils on your fingers; use a soft cloth or tissue when replacing. Light intended primarily for undewater use.
