△! WARNING

What are Ultraviolet emissions?

Ultraviolet (UV) emissions are a form of electromagnetic radiation that comes from the sun and man-made sources like tanning beds and welding torches. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible (white) light; this means that UV waves are invisible to the human eye.
Radiation is the emission (sending out) of energy from any source. There are many types of radiation, ranging from very high-energy (high-frequency) radiation – like x-rays and
gamma rays – to very low-energy (low-frequency) radiation – like radio waves. UV rays are in the middle of this spectrum. They have more energy than visible light, but not as much as x-rays.
There are also different types of UV rays, based on how much energy they have. Higher energy UV rays are a form of ionizing radiation. This means they have enough energy to remove an electron from (ionize) an atom or molecule. Ionizing radiation can damage the DNA, which in turn can destroy a virus on a surface but could also lead to cancer on a person. However even the highest- energy UV rays don’t have enough energy to penetrate deeply into the body, so their main effect is on the skin.v

UV emissions are divided into 3 main groups:
UV-A rays have the least energy among UV rays. These rays can cause skin cells to age and can cause some indirect damage to cells’ DNA. UV-A rays are mainly linked to long-term skin damage such as wrinkles, but they are also thought to play a role in some skin cancers.
UV-B rays have slightly more energy than UV-A rays. They can damage the DNA in skin cells directly and are the main rays that cause sunburns. They are also thought to cause
most skin cancers.
UV-C rays have more energy than the other types of UV rays. In nature, they react with ozone high in our atmosphere and generally don’t reach the ground, so they are not normally a risk factor. However, UV-C rays from man- made sources, such as arc welders, mercury lamps, and UV disinfection bulbs used to kill bacteria and viruses in water, air, or surfaces
do present a risk factor. The necessary PPE and operational precautions must be taken, just as when using arc welding equipment.

Health issues related to Ultraviolet emissions:

In addition to skin cancer, exposure to UV rays from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds can cause sunburn, premature aging of the skin, and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis. UV rays can also cause eye problems and weaken the immune system.

Operation:

UV Manual Mode: – Used for handheld Surface Disinfection
Allows you to sweep surfaces or objects at close range, it is for the handheld sterilization of small areas or items.

To activate “Manual Mode”: Press the UV power switch, this will activate the proximity sensor and allow the UV rays to be emitted once the lens of the unit is held within  3cm of an object or surface. Hold the lens close to the surface and sweep the unit slowly across the area to be sterilized aim to travel at 1cm per second and be sure to overlay each track slightly. Be aware that the UV rays will be extinguished if the unit is moved more than 3cm away from the surface. This is a safety measure to prevent accidental exposure and ensure that the optimal distance for manual mode sterilization is maintained.
You can tell that the UV-C light is working from the UVC indicator lamp on the rear of the unit, when the UVC indicator lamp is on continuously, the disinfection function is on. When the UVC indicator lamp is flashing, the disinfection function is off.
Note: In manual mode, the movement deactivation system is disabled.

UV Fixed Mode: – Stationary use to sterilize a surface for 15 min
To Activate “Fixed Mode” double press the power switch for UV Operation For safety reasons there is a three-second delay between activating fixed mode and the UV-C rays coming on.
For added safety, there is also a motion sensor that deactivates the UV rays whenever movement is detected. For visual confirmation when in fixed mode, the UVC and  AUTO indicator lamps (on the rear of the unit) will stay on continuously. Pushing the UV switch again will turn the UV function off.
Work light Mode : Used for normal lighting requirements, in the workplace, home, outdoors, hiking, camping fishing, etc. Note: Turning the work light on automatically turns the UV light off, both cannot be on at the same time. To Activate “Work Light Mode”: Press the power switch once, for white light and the unit can be used as a normal work light. Press the power switch again to turn it off.
UV-C Test Mode: Used to turn on UV-C emitters only (without any visible light). Test mode is used to test the operation of the UV-C emitters. Entre test mode and hold the lens close to the test card, If the words “UV-C LIGHT” become visible on the test card you have confirmed that the UV-C emitters are working.
To Activate “Test Mode” : Press and hold the UV button in, after 2 seconds the UV-C emitters will turn on, now only invisible UV-C light is coming out of the lens – for as long as you hold the UV button in. Once you stop pressing the UV button the emitters turn off.

Battery charger indicator
The battery charger indicator is located on the back of the lamp and consists of a color change LED.

Charging Mode: Green LED flashing when charging, Green LED on when charged.

Charge Level: Green ＞90%, Yellow: 89%-16%, Red ＜15%.

Charging Port
Next to the on/off switch on the back of the light, underneath the rubberized protective cover, a USB-C charging socket is located. Pull the water-resistant cover up to expose the USB-C port. Plug the USB-C cable end into the light and the USB end into an appropriate USB port (e.g. Computer / Phone Charger/240v USB plug). While charging the process is symbolized by a flashing green LED on the battery indicator. When fully charged the Battery indicator LED will be illuminated solid green.
Maintenance:

• Fully charge the light before first use
• Recharge after every use
•  When not in use recharge every 3 mouths
• The lamp must not be switched on whilst being charged
• Use only 5v / 1A charger to charge the lamp

**Disposal & Recycling Information**
When the tool reaches its end of life, take it to a collection point designated by local Authorities for E-wast. The separate collection and recycling of your product at the time of disposal will help conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects humans, health, and the environment.

• The safety features should be regularly checked for proper function
• The product must not be used, if damaged or defective in any way
• Modification of the product is not allowed
• Store in a safe place away from children and untrained personal
• This Disinfection lamp is not a toy – stored away from children
• This Disinfection Light must be operated by adults only NEVER look directly at the UV light while it is illuminated – doing so could temporarily or chronically damage our eyesight or may even result in loss of vision. Failure to follow all instructions listed may result in serious personal injury.
• Use objects to block UV rays for example when disinfecting inside a car, keeping all the windows up prevents UV-C rays from escaping the vehicle as they cannot pass through the glass of the vehicle’s windows. Short wave ultraviolet with wavelength 200~280nm (UVC,) has the weakest penetration ability and cannot penetrate the most transparent glass and plastic products. Quartz is an exception and the reason this unit is fitted with a quartz lens.

• Avoid using valuable
• Always wear long-sleeved clothes to cover bare skin
• Always wear Glasses with glass or resin lenses
• Always wear gloves to cover hands
• Most importantly, make sure people, pets, and plants cannot be exposed to UV rays during sterilization.
• The warnings cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must exercise common sense and caution when using this UV-C Disinfection lamp.
