1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the torch. This port is typically protected by a rubber cover to ensure water resistance.
2. Open the rubber cover and connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, computer USB port, or power bank).
4. The power indicators on the torch will illuminate to show the charging status. Charging is complete when all indicators are solid.
5. Once charging is complete, disconnect the cable and securely close the rubber cover to maintain the IP68 waterproof rating.

Mechanical Lockout System

The EDC35 features a mechanical lockout system to prevent accidental activation.

• To Lock: Rotate the tail cap clockwise until it is fully tightened. This physically disconnects the circuit.
• To Unlock: Rotate the tail cap counter-clockwise slightly until the flashlight can be operated.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the body of the flashlight with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• O-rings: Inspect the O-rings regularly for wear and tear. Replace them if damaged to maintain the waterproof rating. Lubricate O-rings with silicone grease as needed.
• Charging Port: Ensure the USB-C charging port cover is always securely closed when not charging to prevent water and dust ingress.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, it is recommended to charge the battery every 3-6 months to prolong its lifespan.

If you encounter issues with your Nitecore EDC35 Torch, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Flashlight not turning on:
  • Ensure the mechanical lockout system is disengaged (tail cap slightly loosened).
  • Check the battery level using the power indicators and recharge if necessary.
  • Ensure the tail cap is fully tightened for proper electrical contact.
• Dim or flickering light:
  • The battery may be low; recharge the device.
  • Clean the contact points between the tail cap and the body with a clean cloth.
• Charging issues:
  • Ensure the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the torch and the power source.
  • Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter.
