Setup
Charging the Battery
- Locate the USB charging port on the flashlight. This is typically found under a protective cover near the head or on the body.
- Connect the provided USB cable to the flashlight's charging port.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, power bank).
- An indicator light will typically show the charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
- Allow approximately 1-3 hours for a full charge, depending on the power source and battery depletion level.
Note: Ensure the protective cover for the USB port is securely closed after charging to maintain water resistance.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Mode Selection
The SuperFire C8-H flashlight features a single, convenient button located on the tail cap for all operations.
- To Turn On/Off: Press the tail cap button firmly until you hear a click. This will toggle the flashlight on or off.
- To Change Modes: With the flashlight turned on, lightly press the tail cap button (without clicking it fully). Each light press will cycle through the available lighting modes in the following order:
- Strong Light
- Medium Light
- Weak Light
- Strobe Effect

Maintenance
General Care and Cleaning
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the flashlight. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the lens, use a lens cleaning cloth to avoid scratches.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the O-rings (if accessible) to maintain water resistance and smooth operation of threaded parts.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, it is recommended to charge the battery periodically to maintain its health.
- Water Resistance: The C8-H is designed to be waterproof. However, ensure all caps and covers (especially the USB charging port cover) are securely closed before exposing the flashlight to water or moisture. Avoid submerging the flashlight beyond its rated depth or for prolonged periods unless specified otherwise.
