Setup
1. Battery Installation
The Shadowhawk S1476 flashlight uses a large capacity rechargeable battery. Before first use, it is crucial to prepare the battery correctly.
- Open the back cover of the flashlight by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
- Important: Locate the transparent plastic film wrapped around the battery. This film must be removed before installation. Failure to remove it will prevent the flashlight from functioning or charging.
- Insert the battery into the flashlight with the positive (+) pole facing inwards towards the flashlight head, and the negative (-) pole facing outwards towards the tail cap.
- Carefully screw the back cover clockwise until it is securely tightened.

2. Initial Charging
For optimal performance, fully charge the flashlight before its first use.
- Locate the USB charging port on the flashlight. This model features both USB input and output capabilities.
- Connect the provided USB charging cable to the flashlight's input port and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer, power bank).
- The LED power indicator lights will illuminate to show the charging progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Once all four lights are solid, the flashlight is fully charged.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Press the power button located on the side of the flashlight to turn it on. To turn it off from any mode, press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds.
2. Light Modes
The Shadowhawk S1476 features 5 distinct lighting modes. Briefly press the power button to cycle through the modes in the following order:
- High: Maximum brightness for powerful illumination.
- Medium: Balanced brightness for general use and extended battery life.
- Low: Minimal brightness for close-range tasks or preserving night vision.
- Strobe: Flashing light for signaling or disorienting.
- SOS: International Morse code signal for emergencies.
3. Zoom Function
The flashlight features a zoomable head, allowing you to adjust the beam from a wide floodlight to a focused spotlight.
- To achieve a wide floodlight, pull the head of the flashlight outwards. This is ideal for illuminating large areas.
- To achieve a focused spotlight, push the head of the flashlight inwards. This concentrates the beam for long-distance illumination.

The Shadowhawk S1476 can also function as a power bank to charge other electronic devices.
- Connect your device's charging cable to the flashlight's USB output port.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying thoroughly.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
2. Battery Care
- Recharge the battery regularly, even if the flashlight is not in frequent use, to maintain battery health.
- Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging, as this can shorten its lifespan.
- If storing the flashlight for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 3-6 months.
3. Waterproofing
The Shadowhawk S1476 is IP67 waterproof, meaning it is protected from dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
- Ensure the back cover is securely tightened to maintain the waterproof seal.
- Regularly inspect the sealing ring (O-ring) for any signs of wear or damage. If damaged, replace it to maintain waterproofing.
- After exposure to water, especially saltwater, rinse the flashlight with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
