Operating Instructions

Power ON/OFF
Press the POWER button to turn the flashlight ON or OFF.

This UV flashlight is designed for use in dark or semi-dark areas. Allow enough time for your eyes to adjust to the dark environment prior to use. Some substances/materials will fluoresce brighter than others. This reaction is caused by the concentration of fluorescence on the material and varying degrees of brightness of different colors.

Turn on the UV Flashlight. The flashlight will reach full intensity at start-up while the battery indicator light will be blue confirming that the flashlight is ready to use.
Make sure to wear the provided protective glasses.
Scan a general area first to illuminate, and then get closer to investigate and spot any areas of interest.

Battery Charging
The B2500 is equipped with a battery indicator light. When the battery requires recharging, the light will turn RED and when the battery is full, the light will turn GREEN.

Connect the B2500 via the included cable to a USB port on your PC or into a wall outlet using a USB Power Adapter to charge the Li-ion battery.
Note: The meter must remain powered off to properly charge via the USB port on your PC.
Charge the meter until the battery indicator turns GREEN.

Replacing the O-rings
It is recommended to regularly replace or lubricate the included O-ring and screw thread to ensure a proper seal and smooth tail cap removal.

To replace the O-ring, unscrew and remove the tail cap from housing.
When removing the O-ring, do not use any tools that may scratch the surface where the O-ring is installed.
Discard the old O-ring and clean the area with a wet cloth, drying it with a lint-free cloth to make sure there aren’t any particles left behind that could hinder the new ring from sealing.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the new O-ring before installationto ensure the O-ring fits securely.
When completed, screw the tail cap back into place.
