സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ

• ലൈറ്റ് ബീമിലേക്ക് നേരിട്ട് നോക്കരുത്. The high intensity light can cause temporary vision impairment or permanent eye damage.
• ഉപകരണം കുട്ടികൾക്ക് ലഭ്യമാകാതെ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.
• ഉപകരണത്തിന് കേടുപാടുകൾ സംഭവിക്കാതിരിക്കാൻ ബാറ്ററികൾ ശരിയായ പോളാരിറ്റിയോടെ ചേർത്തിട്ടുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
• ബാറ്ററി ചോർച്ചയും സാധ്യതയുള്ള കേടുപാടുകളും തടയുന്നതിന് ഉപകരണം ദീർഘനേരം ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ ബാറ്ററികൾ നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക.
• ഫ്ലാഷ്‌ലൈറ്റ് ദീർഘനേരം തീവ്രമായ താപനിലയിലോ നേരിട്ടുള്ള സൂര്യപ്രകാശത്തിലോ തുറന്നുകാട്ടുന്നത് ഒഴിവാക്കുക.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the flashlight, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.

ബാറ്ററി ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ

1. ഫ്ലാഷ്‌ലൈറ്റ് എതിർ ഘടികാരദിശയിൽ തിരിച്ച് അതിന്റെ ടെയിൽക്യാപ്പ് അഴിക്കുക.
2. Insert eight (8) AA batteries into the battery compartment. The inner body features four small tunnels, with two batteries sliding into each tunnel. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. The flashlight has reverse polarity protection, but correct insertion is always recommended.
3. Screw the tailcap back on clockwise until it is securely tightened. This ensures proper electrical contact and maintains the waterproof seal.

Upon initial battery insertion, the integrated power indicator light will blink to display the battery voltagഇ. ഉദാample, five blinks followed by a one-second pause and then three blinks indicates 5.3V.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

പവർ ഓൺ/ഓഫ്

• ടോർച്ച് ലൈറ്റ് ഓണാക്കാൻ ON, press the two-stage side switch until it clicks.
• ടോർച്ച് ലൈറ്റ് ഓണാക്കാൻ ഓഫ്, press and hold the two-stage side switch for several seconds until the light extinguishes. Alternatively, you can slightly unscrew the tailcap to break the circuit and prevent parasitic drain, especially for long-term storage.

Brightness Modes Selection

The EA8 features a two-stage side switch for mode selection. From the ON state:

• To cycle through brightness levels (Micro, Low, Mid, High, Turbo): With the light on, lightly press the switch (half-click) repeatedly to cycle through the modes in ascending order.
• Direct access to Turbo: From OFF, press and hold the switch for approximately one second to directly activate Turbo mode.
• Direct access to Micro: From OFF, press the switch briefly (full click) to activate Micro mode.

Special Modes (SOS, Strobe, Beacon)

From the ON state, quickly double-press the switch to activate special modes. Continue to double-press to cycle through Strobe, SOS, and Beacon modes. Press the switch once to return to the previously used brightness level.

ബാറ്ററി പവർ സൂചകം

The integrated blue indicator light on the side switch serves multiple functions:

• Location Beacon: When the flashlight is off, the blue light will blink every 1.5 seconds, indicating its position in the dark.
• കുറഞ്ഞ വോളിയംtagഇ മുന്നറിയിപ്പ്: The indicator will flash rapidly when battery power is low, signaling that batteries need replacement.
• ബാറ്ററി വോളിയംtagഇ ഡിസ്പ്ലേ: As mentioned in the Setup section, it displays battery voltage upon insertion.

മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth. For optical surfaces, use lens cleaning solution and a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
• O-Ring Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the O-rings with silicone grease to maintain the waterproof seal. The tailcap threadings come pre-lubricated from the factory.
• ബാറ്ററി സംഭരണം: If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several months), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and parasitic drain. Even when off, the flashlight may draw a small amount of current. Alternatively, slightly unscrew the tailcap to ensure no contact is made with the batteries.
• ബാറ്ററി തരം: For optimal performance and reduced risk of leakage during long-term storage, consider using high-quality rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries (e.g., Panasonic Eneloops) or non-rechargeable lithium AA batteries (e.g., Energizer Ultimate Lithium L91).
