5. Charging Instructions

The DARKBEAM 805X-DB01 is equipped with a USB-C charging port for convenient recharging.

1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the flashlight body. It is typically covered by a rubber seal for water resistance.

3. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a compatible power source (e.g., USB wall adapter, power bank, laptop) with a 5V 2A output.
