5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button located on the side of the flashlight to turn it on. Press again to turn it off.

   • Banknote & Document Verification: Check security features on currency, passports, and other official documents.

   • Anti-Counterfeiting: Identify counterfeit items that use UV-reactive inks or security threads.

   • Cleanliness Inspection: Detect unseen dirt, dust, and residues in hotel rooms, bathrooms, or other areas.

6. Charging

1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the flashlight body.
2. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the flashlight and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer, power bank).
3. The 4-gear LED power display will illuminate and indicate the charging progress. When all four LEDs are solid, the flashlight is fully charged.
4. Charging typically takes 3-4 hours for a full charge.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the lens clean for optimal performance.
• Water Resistance: The flashlight has an IP55 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is not designed for submersion. Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed when not charging to maintain water resistance.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Recharge the flashlight regularly, even if not in use, to maintain battery health. Store in a cool, dry place.

8. Troubleshooting

• Flashlight not turning on:
  • Ensure the battery is correctly installed with the positive end facing forward.
  • Check if the battery is charged. If not, connect the flashlight to a power source using the USB-C cable.
  • Ensure the tail cap is screwed on tightly.
• Flashlight not charging:
  • Verify that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the flashlight and the power source.
  • Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter.
  • Ensure the power source is active.
• UV light appears dim or weak:
  • The battery might be low; recharge the flashlight.
  • Clean the lens surface to remove any dirt or smudges.
  • Ensure you are in a sufficiently dark environment for optimal UV detection.

9. User Tips

• For best results when detecting pet urine or other stains, use the flashlight in a completely dark room.
• When checking for authenticity on documents or currency, compare the UV-reactive features with known genuine examples.
