Operation

General Operation

• Turn ON: From OFF, click the side E-switch.
• Change Brightness: When ON, click the side E-switch to cycle through Low → Medium → High. The flashlight has a Gear Memory Function, meaning it will turn on in the last used brightness mode.
• Turn OFF: When ON, long press the side E-switch.
• Lock-ON: When ON, rotate the rotary switch to the 'lock' position. This prevents accidental mode changes.
• Lock-OFF: When OFF, rotate the rotary switch to the 'lock' position. This prevents accidental activation.
• Unlock: Rotate the rotary switch to the 'unlock' position.

Light Modes

The SD06 offers three primary brightness levels:

• Low: 300 Lumens
• Medium: 1100 Lumens
• High: 3200 Lumens

Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR)

The flashlight is equipped with ATR technology. In Medium or High mode, the flashlight may heat up significantly. To prevent overheating and protect the internal components, the SD06 will automatically reduce its current output when the temperature reaches 55°C (131°F).

Low Voltage Warning

When the battery voltage drops below 3.0V, the SD06 will automatically switch to a lower brightness level. If the flashlight is already in Low mode, the main light will flash twice, one minute apart, to indicate that the remaining battery power is critically low. Please replace or recharge the battery promptly.

Waterproof Capability

The Sofirn SD06 boasts an IP68 waterproof rating, allowing it to be submerged up to 100 meters underwater. This makes it ideal for diving, snorkeling, and other water-based activities.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the flashlight body with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
• O-rings: Regularly inspect the O-rings for wear and tear. Replace them if damaged. Lubricate O-rings and threads with silicone grease periodically to ensure a smooth seal and prevent water ingress.
• Battery Care: Remove the battery if the flashlight will not be used for an extended period. Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting
