I. Safety Warnings
Make sure you follow these important safety warnings to avoid
the risk of fire or injury.
Avoid using the light above water for prolonged periods of
time. The light is designed for underwater use and water is needed
to displace heat. The metal light head at full power will reach
temperature of about 140F (60C) degrees within a few minutes, which
is too hot to touch. A thermal sensor will automatically dim the light if
internal temperatures reaches 150F (65C) degrees. Immediately turn
off light if any parts of the light become hot to the touch.
If water has entered the light, immediately turn off power and
follow these instructions: Remove and dry the battery. DO NOT use
the battery once it has become wet. Wet batteries must be replaced.
Allow battery to dry and dispose it in accordance with local battery
recycling regulations. The battery chamber is waterproof. If no water
has entered the LED light head, the chamber may be cleaned without
causing permanent damage to the electronics. Rinse the waterproof
battery compartment with fresh water and allow the inside to dry.
Replace the O-rings and apply lube. Install new, fully-charged battery
and test light. If light does not operate properly, please contact your
local SeaLife dealer or the SeaLife service center in your country.
Do not use battery if the outer casing is cracked, separated,
damaged or has become wet. Dispose battery in accordance with
local battery recycling regulations.

I. Safety Warnings
Never expose battery to fire or intense heat. Do not expose light to
direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
Remove batteries from light before transporting, traveling or
long periods of storage. Remember to use the protective battery
cover included when the battery is not inside the light or charging
tray to prevent accidental short-circuiting the battery contacts.
Airlines impose strict safety regulations for handling and shipping
lithium ion batteries. Spare lithium batteries may not be packed in
your checked baggage but may be packed in your carry-on baggage.
It is important to pack spare batteries in such a way as to prevent
metal objects from touching the contacts and potentially short-
circuiting the battery. Always use protective battery cover included
when the battery is not inside the light or charging tray to prevent
accidental short-circuiting the battery contacts.
Only use the specified battery and battery charger approved by
SeaLife.Using any other battery or charger may cause fire, injury and
permanently damage the light.
Observe all SCUBA dive safety rules and control your buoyancy at
all times. Consult your dive instructor for dive safety questions.

VII. Maintaining a Waterproof Seal (Before your dive)
1) The light uses two O-rings to maintain a waterproof seal.
2) Every time you open the battery cap make sure the O-rings
and sealing surfaces are clean, undamaged and lubricated.
3) Dampen a clean cotton cloth and wipe it around the O-ring
and O-ring contact surfaces to remove any hair, sand or debris.
4) Carefully inspect the O-ring for cuts, tears or other damage.
Replace O-rings if damaged.
5) Lube O-rings regularly. Apply a small amount of silicone lube
on your nger tip and wipe it around the O-rings. Wipe o
excess lubricant. The O-ring surface should have shiny, wet
appearance.
Important:
Replace O-rings every year if damaged or not. Visit your local
SeaLife dealer or www.sealife-cameras.com for information on
ordering spare O-rings.

VIII. Care and Maintenance (After your dive)
1) After each dive, soak the sealed light in fresh water for about 20
minutes to remove any residual salt, sand and dirt. Never allow the
saltwater to dry on the light.
2) Push the power button about 10 times to clean any saltwater or sand
trapped under the button.
3) Let the water drain out of the small holes located at the bottom of
Flex Arm. (If using Flex Arms - see page 14 for optional accessories).
4) Dry o the light with a towel. Make sure you and the light are dry
before opening the waterproof battery cap.
5) Remove battery and allow light to thoroughly dry before storage.
6) Clean the gold-plated contacts on battery and inside battery
compartment after the light has been used in a salty-air, marine
environment. Use a clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol or
alcohol wipes. Salty air that deposits and builds-up on the contacts
may cause the gold plating to break down when high energy passes
through from the battery to the light. Not cleaning the contacts may
damage the gold plating and result in the device not powering on.
7) Never use any detergents, cleaners, solvents or chemicals to clean the
light. Keep sunscreen lotions/sprays away from all plastic materials,
which is known to cause chemical reaction and consequential
damage.
8) Insert a fresh Moisture-Muncher capsule (SL911 - sold separately)
inside the battery compartment during storage to help keep the
inside dry and free of corrosion or mildew during storage.

IX. Replacing the O-Rings
Replace the two O-rings if damaged or at least once per year.
1) Use the O-ring Remover tool
provided to lift and remove
the O-rings.
2) Carefully clean O-ring
grooves and O-rings before
installation.
3) Install O-rings by stretching
and lifting O-ring into the
groove. Do not roll the O-ring
or allow it to twist.
4) Apply a small amount of silicone lube on your nger tip and
wipe it around the O-rings. Wipe o excess lubricant. The
O-ring surface should have shiny, wet appearance.

X. Attaching Light to Underwater Camera
Important:
Only attach the light to cameras/housings with minimum
thread depth of 0.31” and using standard 1/4-20 tripod type
thread. Don’t over-tighten screw or you may damage the
housing and threads.
Align the underwater camera to the light’s mounting screw and
hand-tighten.

XII. Recommended Camera Settings
For SeaLife cameras, follow the Easy Set-up menu to correctly
set the camera.
For other underwater camera brands:
1) Set the Scene mode to Auto or “Underwater scene
mode, as recommended by the camera manufacturer.
2) You may also need to change the White Balance setting to
DAYLIGHT depending on the cameras underwater color
correction or if pictures/video turns out red.
Note: Do not use color correction white balance or lters when
shooting pictures or videos with the Sea Dragon light. The light
provides all the colors. Combining color correction white balance /
lters with the light will result in too much red. It is recommended
to only use color correction white balance or lters when shooting
beyond the eective range of the light.

XIII. Great Pictures Made Easy
There are plenty of challenges
that photographers face in the
underwater world. Please take
some time to review SeaLifes
online guide called Great Pictures
Made Easy by visiting www. sealife-
cameras.com. The guide is located
under the Technical Support
menu. The following information
summarizes the basic principles of
underwater photography.
Crystal clear water
Clear water is essential for good
underwater pictures. Low visibility,
caused by ne particles suspended
in the water, will diminish the
picture and video quality. As a
general rule, limit your shooting
distance to 1/10 of the water
visibility. For example, if the
visibility is 20 ft, limit your shooting
distance to 2 ft. Try to keep the light
as far away from the camera lens as
possible to minimize backscatter.
20
20
Great Pictures Made Easy (Continued)
Limit your shooting distance
Water is 800 times denser than air and quickly absorbs light. The
eective range of your Sea Dragon light depends on the light’s
lumen power, water visibility and ambient light conditions. As
a general rule, closer shooting distances result in better pictures
and video.
21
Great Pictures Made Easy (Continued)
Control your buoyancy
Get your buoyancy
under control and set
yourself up in the ideal
position before taking
a picture or shooting
video. This allows you
to hold the camera
steady and control your
shooting distance. Good
buoyancy control will
help you avoid stirring
up the sandy bottom
which will cloud-up the
water and cause backscatter. Controlling your buoyancy is very
important for your diving safety so don’t start shooting until your
buoyancy is under control.
Practice makes perfect
There is no better way to learn than from your mistakes. Become
familiar with your camera controls so you can make quick
adjustments depending on the conditions. Take time to practice
and experiment with dierent settings. Review your pictures and
learn from your mistakes.
22
22
Great Pictures Made Easy (Continued)
Compose a good picture
Avoid shooting down on
the subject from above.
Shooting down usually
results in a poor contrast
because the subject blends
into the background.
Try and shoot upwards
from below the subject
so you get a blue water
background and better contrast. Get the entire subject into your
picture frame. Don’t cut o the hands, ns or head of your subject.
You can always crop your image later on your computer if you want.
Video tips
Hold the camera as steady as possible and move (pan) very slowly.
A jumpy, fast-moving video is hard for anyone to watch and can
actually cause motion sickness. Avoid shooting video clips more
than 1 minute. It is dicult to edit lengthy video clips because of
the large le size. You can always patch together short video clips
into a longer movie using video editing software, like Microsoft
Movie Maker or Mac iMovie.
Always observe dive safety rules and Never Touch Marine Life
Do not let photography distract you from diving safely. Observe
marine life - Never touch marine life. Be aware of your surroundings
to avoid contacting anything. Keep your dive gear close to your
body.
Shooting up and adding a layer of blue water adds contrast.
23
XIV. Advanced Settings
Auto Brightness and Flash Detect
(Only applies to the 3000F Auto SL678 light)
The Sea Dragon Auto lights include a light sensor that
automatically adjusts brightness and turns o the light for 2
seconds if it detects an external ash ring. The Auto Bright feature
helps preserve your eye's natural night vision and extends battery
life by dimming the brightness when aimed at close-up objects.
The Flash Detect feature helps reduce backscatter and control
image exposure. You may disable the auto ash detect as follows:
1) With the light in the OFF state, push and hold the power
button 6 seconds for the 3000F light.
2) Release the power button when the indicator lights begin
blinking and light turns o.
3) Two quick blinks per second indicates Flash Detect is enabled.
One blink per second means the Flash Detect is disabled.
4) Push and release power button to switch modes.
5) Push and hold the power button to save and exit the Flash
Detect setting.
