2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the lighter and accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: the LcFun Electric USB Rechargeable Lighter and a USB Type-C charging cable.
2.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the lighter. The lighter is equipped with a 280 mAh large-capacity battery.
- Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the lighter's charging port.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a suitable plasma charger. The charger's maximum output voltage should be DC 5.0±0.25V, and the output current should be 4A. Using a charger with a larger output may lead to circuit board and battery damage.
- A full charge typically takes about 1 hour. The indicator light will show charging status (e.g., blinking during charge, solid when full).

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Powering On and Ignition
- Open the lighter's lid.
- Press and hold the arc switch button located on the side of the lighter. The dual plasma arcs will activate.
- Position the item to be lit (e.g., candle wick, paper) directly into the plasma arcs.
- The lighter features an automatic power-off function after approximately 7 seconds of continuous use to prevent overheating and protect internal components. Release the button and press again if further ignition is needed.
3.2 Windproof and Flameless Operation
The dual arc design ensures the lighter operates effectively in windy conditions, making it suitable for outdoor activities like camping and hiking. Since it is flameless, it eliminates the need for butane or other fuels.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Electrodes
Over time, residue may accumulate on the plasma electrodes, affecting performance. Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush to gently clean the electrodes. Ensure the lighter is turned off and cool before cleaning.
4.2 Storage
Store the lighter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the lid closed to protect the electrodes from dust and debris.

5. Troubleshooting
- Lighter not igniting: Ensure the lighter is fully charged. Clean the plasma electrodes as described in the Maintenance section.
- Short battery life: Confirm you are using a suitable charger (DC 5.0±0.25V, 4A output current). Avoid overcharging or using incompatible chargers, which can damage the battery.
- Arc is weak or inconsistent: This is often due to residue on the electrodes. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure no metal objects are interfering with the arc.
- Lighter not charging: Check the USB Type-C cable and charger for damage. Try a different compatible charging setup.
