The UV torchlight produces UV-A radiation in the visible range of <400 nm. In this UV range the eyelid closure reflex of the eye does not work. Therefore, under no circumstances, look on the UV-LED or in the beam, and make sure that you don’t illuminate any other people and animals directly. When used in direct object near the reflected UV
radiation is stronger and more intense than in severalmetres distance. If it is necessary to operate a UVLED, always use suitable UV filters or googles according to CE-EN166 to prevent eye damage. Also avoid prolonged exposure of the skin or other living tissue. Keep UV-LEDs always out of the reach of children and avoid the operation of the UV-LED when children are near by! Never give the LED torchlight to unauthorizedpersons or children or leave them unattended.- Within the light cone, you must not use optics to focus the light rays.
- The LED is not replaceable. Please neither attempt to remove nor touch it!
-
Only use the charger included in the scope of delivery. Another charger may prove too strong and lead to irreversible damage to the battery.
-
Using other than those recommended by the manufacturer or rechargeable batteries can cause damage to the lamp and compromise your security.
-
To operate use two new CR123A batteries or, protected against vervoltage and undervoltage, 18650 Li-ion battery.
-
Please only use batteries of the same type, age and state of charge.
-
Remove the batteries or battery if you do not use the torchlight for a long time.
-
Please dispose of damaged or empty batteries according to local and government guidelines.

Getting Started
Inserting the rechargeable battery
Unscrew the tailcap 2 of the torch and insert the 18650 li-ion rechargeable battery or the 2 CR123A batteries included in the scope of delivery. Screw the tailcap back on.
Switching on/off
Momentary light: Press switch A gently. Continuous light: Press switch A hard. Press the switch again to power off.
**Adjusting the Focus:
**
The focus of the light beam can be adjusted by turning the head of the torch 1 . Do NOT adjust the focus of the torch when the torch is under water as this would allow water to enter the housing! Insert the battery included in the scope of delivery and switch on the torch to ensure that it is working properly. Direct the beam of the lamp at a banknote, for example, or any other object which is known to contain UV active substances, from adistance of approximately 1 m. The active substances will become immediately visible if the torch is working properly.
Next check the focus of the torch by adjusting the focus from minimum to maximum. The beam of the light should change from a pinpoint beam to a broad beam and vice versa. Repeat this procedure with a variety of different objects at a distance of approximately 1m in order to gain a feeling for the way the beam can be adjusted. Generally speaking, the illuminated area becomes smaller the more focused the beam is, which inturn means that fluorescent traces can be detected over greater distances because the beam is so intense. In contrast, a broad beam can illuminate a larger area, but does not allow you to detect objects or traces which are further away from the torch.
Charging the 18650 li-ion batteries with the CH-01 charger included in the scope of delivery:
The rechargeable battery can be replaced regardless of its charge state. Place the rechargeable battery in the
CH-01 charger and ensure that the positive pole is positioned in the direction of the LED. The LED remains red until the battery is fully charged. The green LED lights upwhen the battery is fully charged.
Take the rechargeable battery out of the charger and disconnect the charger from the mains power supply.
Only charge 18650 / LRB-168A li-ion rechargeable batteries with battery overvoltage protection in the CH-01 charger!
The rechargeable battery included in the scope of delivery is pre charged. The charging cycle lasts a maximum of 3.5 hours. If you are planning on not using the battery for longer than 2 months, charge the battery to its full capacity before storing.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible cause |
|---|---|
| Light of the torch does not go on | Is the positive pole of the rechar- geable |
battery / batteries facing towards the head of the torch?
Rechargeable battery / batteries full?
Is the tailcap screwed firmly on to the battery housing?
Solution
If the torch light goes on when the negative pole of the rechargeable battery / the rear battery is connected to the bare aluminium of the torch with a paper clip, forexample, then the switch on the tailcap is defective. This is a spare part and can be ordered separately
