Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your DARKBEAM UV 365nm Flashlight. This portable, mini handheld torch is designed for various detection purposes, including identifying pet stains, anti-counterfeiting, and resin curing. Its 365nm wavelength is ideal for revealing fluorescent agents and security codes that are often invisible to the naked eye.

- Avoid direct eye exposure to the UV light. Prolonged exposure can cause eye damage.
- Keep out of reach of children. This is not a toy.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the flashlight. This may void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
- Use only the specified battery type (1 AA battery). Using incorrect batteries may cause damage or injury.
- Remove the battery if the flashlight will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.

Setup
Battery Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the battery in your flashlight:
- Unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Insert one AA battery into the battery compartment with the positive (+) end facing towards the head of the flashlight.
- Screw the tail cap back on securely by turning it clockwise until it is fully tightened.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
To turn the flashlight on or off, simply press the silicone button located on the tail cap.
Focus Adjustment
The DARKBEAM UV 365nm Flashlight features an adjustable focus. To change the beam from a wide floodlight to a narrow spotlight, gently slide the head of the flashlight forward or backward. This allows you to enlarge the beam to cover a wider area or narrow it down for precise inspection.
Applications
Pet Urine Detection
To effectively detect pet urine stains, use the flashlight in a dimly lit or dark room. Scan suspected areas such as carpets, rugs, upholstery, or hard floors. Pet urine, along with other biological fluids, will fluoresce brightly under the 365nm UV light, appearing as distinct glowing spots.
Anti-Counterfeiting Identification
The 365nm UV light is highly effective for verifying the authenticity of various items. It can reveal security features on banknotes, passports, driver's licenses, and other official documents that are invisible under normal visible light. It is also useful for identifying counterfeit currency and checking for hidden markings.
Fluorescent Agent and Resin Curing Detection
This flashlight can be used to detect fluorescent agents commonly found in cosmetics, baby products, and textiles. It is also suitable for minor resin curing applications, such as small repairs or crafts, where a precise UV light source is needed.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the flashlight body, wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several months), it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the device.
- Water Resistance: The flashlight has an IPX4 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction. It is not designed for submersion in water. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain or dropping it into water.
