Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SD03 Dive Signal Light, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

    • Replace the battery with a fresh one.
  • Light Flickering or Dim:
    • Replace the battery. Low battery power can cause flickering or dimming.
    • Ensure the battery contacts are clean and free from corrosion.
    • Check that the head is securely tightened.
  • Water Leakage:
    • Immediately turn off the light and remove the battery.
    • Inspect the O-rings for any damage, dirt, or improper seating. Clean or replace as needed.
    • Ensure the threads are clean and free from debris before re-tightening the head.
