How to Activate and Deactivate the Light & Motion Sola Underwater Video, Photo and Dive Light's Travel Lockout Mode

This is a safety feature that Light & Motion has implemented across the Sola line and other lights they manufacture. It is a simple method to prevent your light from accidentally turning on, especially during travel. This is designed in addition to the ability to lock the switch by rotating it 90 degrees. If your light is accidentally turned on it can drain your battery before a dive, or worse, can overheat and cause permanent damage. It is important to remember that all Sola lights must be water-cooled (i.e. fully submerged) during regular use. Travel Lock Out Mode is programmed into nearly all Solas. Travel Lock Out Mode is initiated by holding the toggle switch forward for 5-7 seconds while the light is off. The indicator LEDs should flash red 3-4 times. The Sola is now locked and will not turn on or accept a charge.
