Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. The C8L features a convenient USB-C charging port.

1. Individua la porta di ricarica USB-C sul lato della torcia, solitamente coperta da una linguetta di gomma.
2. Open the rubber flap to expose the port.
3. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the flashlight and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank, computer USB port).
4. The indicator light on the side switch will show the charging status: Red indicates charging, Green indicates fully charged.
5. A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours at a maximum charging rate of 2.5A.

4.2 Brightness Modes and Groups

The C8L offers multiple brightness levels and three distinct mode groups:

• Modalità di illuminazione: Cycles through Eco, Low, Medium, High, Turbo.
• Modalità tattica: Offers Medium and Turbo for quick access to powerful illumination.
• Modalità Flash: Includes Strobe, SOS, and Beacon for signaling or emergency use.

The flashlight features mode memory, meaning it will turn on in the last used brightness level (except for Strobe, SOS, and Beacon modes).

• Verde lampeggiante: Potenza 40-70%
• Rosso costante: Potenza 10-40%
• Rosso lampeggiante: Power <10% (recharge immediately)

5. Manutenzione

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sofirn C8L flashlight.

• Pulizia: Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp stoffa. Evitare detergenti abrasivi.
• Lubrificazione: Applicare periodicamente grasso al silicone sugli O-ring e sulle filettature delle viti per mantenere la resistenza all'acqua e un funzionamento regolare.
• Cura della batteria: Recharge the battery regularly, especially if the flashlight will not be used for an extended period. Store the flashlight with a partially charged battery (around 50%) if storing for several months.
• Resistenza all'acqua: The C8L is rated IPX8 water resistant, meaning it can be submerged up to 2 meters. Ensure all seals (like the USB-C port cover and tail cap) are properly closed and tightened before exposing to water. This rating is for incidental submersion, not for diving.
• Durata: Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum, the C8L is designed to resist scratches, abrasion, and corrosion. Avoid dropping the flashlight from significant heights or subjecting it to extreme impacts.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your Sofirn C8L flashlight, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• La torcia non si accende:
  • Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) terminal facing the head.
  • Controllare che la batteria sia carica. Ricaricarla se necessario.
  • Tighten the tail cap and head assembly securely. A loose connection can prevent operation.
  • Pulisci i contatti della batteria e della torcia con un panno pulito.
• L'emissione luminosa è debole o tremolante:
  • La batteria potrebbe essere scarica. Ricaricarla.
  • Ensure the battery is fully inserted and contacts are clean.
  • Check for any debris in the head or tail cap threads.
• La torcia si surriscalda durante l'uso:
  • High brightness modes (especially Turbo) generate significant heat. This is normal. The C8L features Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) technology to automatically adjust output to prevent overheating.
  • If the flashlight becomes uncomfortably hot, reduce the brightness level.
• La ricarica USB-C non funziona:
  • Assicurarsi che il cavo USB-C sia completamente inserito sia nella torcia che nella fonte di alimentazione.
  • Prova un cavo USB-C o un adattatore di alimentazione diverso.
  • Controllare che la porta di ricarica sia libera da detriti.
