4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

1. Unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Insert the included 18650 rechargeable battery into the battery compartment with the positive (+) end facing towards the flashlight head (LEDs).
3. Screw the tail cap back on clockwise until it is securely tightened.

4.2. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the battery.

1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the flashlight body. It is typically covered by a rubber flap for water resistance.
2. Open the rubber flap and insert the small end of the USB-C charging cable into the flashlight's port.
3. Connect the larger USB-A end of the cable to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter, power bank).
4. The charging indicator light will turn red while charging.
5. Once fully charged (approximately 4-5 hours), the indicator light will turn green.
6. Disconnect the charging cable and close the rubber flap to maintain water resistance.

5.2. Applications of 395nm UV Light

The 395nm UV wavelength is highly effective for detecting fluorescent substances. Here are some common uses:

• Pet Urine Detection: Easily spot dried pet urine stains on carpets, rugs, and furniture that are invisible to the naked eye.
• Currency and Document Authentication: Verify the authenticity of banknotes, passports, and other official documents that contain UV security features.
• Scorpion Detection: Scorpions glow brightly under 395nm UV light, making them easy to spot in dark environments.
• Mineral and Gemstone Inspection: Identify certain fluorescent minerals and gemstones.
• Resin Curing: Accelerate the curing process of UV-sensitive resins and glues.
• Bed Bug Detection: Locate bed bugs and their eggs, which may fluoresce under UV light.
• Hygiene Inspection: Reveal hidden stains and unsanitary areas in hotel rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens.

5.4. 395nm vs 365nm UV Light

While both 395nm and 365nm UV lights are used for fluorescence, they have different characteristics:

• 395nm UV (Alonefire SV103): This wavelength is more visible to the human eye, producing a noticeable purple glow. It is excellent for general detection of fluorescent materials, such as pet stains, currency, and scorpions, where a strong visual indication is desired.
• 365nm UV: This wavelength is closer to the true "black light" spectrum, emitting less visible light and more pure UV. It is often preferred for professional applications requiring minimal visible light interference, such as forensic analysis, specialized mineral identification, and some industrial curing processes.

Under 365nm UV, the same minerals exhibit a more vibrant and distinct fluorescence, indicating the difference in their applications.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lens Care: Gently clean the UV lens with a lens cleaning cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid touching the lens with bare fingers.
• Battery Care: If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
