Ultra-intense rechargeables. The RCD HR features a penetrating 19W beam while the
Super-8R provides 25W intensity. Both run for 1.25 hours per charge. Industrial grade 5Ah ni-cad
module produces considerably more power than consumer ni-cads. Not intended for extended
use above water.

• Note the recharge time referenced above. When using the
110/220V charger #0083.9, place the charger's voltage selector
switch in the proper position.
• Recharge the ni-cad module in or out of the light. Indicator
light on the module shows that a charge is being accepted;
it does not go out once fully charged. DO NOT continuously
charge the ni-cads longer than 24 hours unless using
Smart Charger.
• Recharge the ni-cad module after each use; DO NOT fully
discharge. Definitely recharge the ni-cads if the light intensity
dims; the batteries are nearly depleted. Fully discharging
the ni-cads will shorten the battery life.
• Store the ni-cad module fully charged and
recharge for a few hours each month.
In our application, the ni-cads should
NOT develop a memory. Fully discharging
ni-cads or allowing
them to completely lose a charge does far
more damage than any risk of ni-cad memory.

• Note the handle references on the front head assembly and ni-cad module.
• Ni-cad module MUST be positioned properly on the front.
Otherwise, you will damage the ni-cad module when the body is secured.

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.

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.

• 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.

Make sure the bulb is cool. Remove the batteries to access the bulb holder. Squeeze the ends
of bulb holder and remove. Tip the front up and drop the bulb into your hand. Place the new bulb
IKE8 #0042.58 in the front and replace the bulb holder (orient it either way).
In an emergency, use a common PR-size bulb approximating 10V.
