Setup

1. Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge the flashlight. The device features a built-in lithium battery and charges via a TYPE-C USB port.

1. Locate the TYPE-C USB charging port on the flashlight.
2. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the flashlight and to a compatible 5V USB power source (e.g., power bank, wall charger, laptop, car charger).
3. Observe the charging indicator light:
   • Red light: Indicates the flashlight is currently charging.
   • Green light: Indicates the flashlight is fully charged.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the charging cable.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

The Alonefire SV99 operates in a single mode. To turn the flashlight on or off, press the power button located on the device.

2. Wavelength Differences and Applications

The flashlight is available in two main wavelengths, 365nm and 395nm, each suited for different detection needs.

365nm UV Light:

• Characteristics: Invisible to the naked eye, not as bright as 395nm, but ideal for high-demand detection. It is considered the true dedicated detection spectrum.
• Performance: Can be used in natural light, but performs best in dark environments with minimal visible light leakage.
• Applications:
  • Pet (dog/cat) urine detection
  • Scorpion finding
  • Fluorescent agent detection
  • Currency, license, card, and passport authentication
  • Oil stains and leakage detection
  • Ore and antique identification
  • UV glue curing
  • Tableware inspection
  • Mechanical inspection
  • Mildew detection
  • Document verification

395nm UV Light:

• Characteristics: More visible purple light, suitable for general UV detection.
• Applications:
  • Curing (e.g., nail polish)
  • General housework cleaning (detecting dog, cat, rodent stains, bed bugs)
  • Scorpion hunting

Note: In dark environments, the detection effect of ultraviolet light on fluorescent substances is significantly better for both wavelengths.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is clean for optimal light output.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the flashlight regularly, even if not in use, to maintain battery health.
• Water Resistance: The flashlight is waterproof, but avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets.

Troubleshooting

1. Flashlight Not Turning On

• Check Battery: Ensure the flashlight is charged. Connect it to a power source and check the charging indicator.
• Power Button: Confirm the power button is functioning correctly.

2. UV Light Appears Dim or Ineffective

• Ambient Light: UV light is most effective in dark environments. High ambient light can make the UV effect seem dim.
• Fluorescent Substances: The effectiveness of UV light depends on the presence of fluorescent substances. In their absence, the light may appear dim or ineffective.
• Wavelength: Remember that 365nm UV light is less visible to the naked eye than 395nm, even though it's more effective for certain detections.

User Tips

• For best results when detecting pet stains or scorpions, use the flashlight in a completely dark room.
• When authenticating currency or documents, focus the UV light directly on the security features.
• Keep the lens clean to ensure maximum UV output and clarity.
• Always charge the flashlight using the provided Type-C USB cable or a compatible 5V USB charger.
• If you have both 365nm and 395nm versions, choose the 365nm for more precise and less visible light-emitting detection, and 395nm for general purpose and more visible fluorescence.
