3. Postavljanje
3.1 Ugradnja baterije
The Sofirn C8L flashlight requires one 18650 or 21700 Lithium Ion battery. The included battery is typically pre-installed. To install or replace the battery:
- Odvijte stražnji poklopac svjetiljke.
- Insert the battery with the positive (+) terminal facing towards the head of the flashlight.
- Čvrsto zavrnite stražnji poklopac.
3.2 Početno punjenje
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. The C8L features a convenient USB-C charging port.
- Locate the USB-C charging port on the side of the flashlight, usually covered by a rubber flap.
- Open the rubber flap to expose the port.
- 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).
- The indicator light on the side switch will show the charging status: Red indicates charging, Green indicates fully charged.
- A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours at a maximum charging rate of 2.5A.
- Nakon što je punjenje završeno, odspojite kabel i čvrsto zatvorite gumeni poklopac kako biste održali vodootpornost.

5. Održavanje
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sofirn C8L flashlight.
- Čišćenje: Obrišite tijelo svjetiljke čistom, mekom krpom. Za tvrdokornu prljavštinu upotrijebite laganoamp tkanina. Izbjegavajte abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje.
- Podmazivanje: Periodically apply silicone grease to the O-rings and screw threads to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.
- Njega baterije: 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.
- Vodootpornost: 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.
- Izdržljivost: 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. Rješavanje problema
If you encounter issues with your Sofirn C8L flashlight, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Svjetiljka se ne pali:
- Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) terminal facing the head.
- Provjerite je li baterija napunjena. Po potrebi je napunite.
- Tighten the tail cap and head assembly securely. A loose connection can prevent operation.
- Clean the battery contacts and flashlight contacts with a clean cloth.
- Svjetlosni izlaz je slab ili treperi:
- Baterija je možda slaba. Napunite bateriju.
- Ensure the battery is fully inserted and contacts are clean.
- Check for any debris in the head or tail cap threads.
- Flashlight gets hot during use:
- 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.
- USB-C charging not working:
- Provjerite je li USB-C kabel potpuno umetnut i u svjetiljku i u izvor napajanja.
- Pokušajte s drugim USB-C kabelom ili adapterom za napajanje.
- Check if the charging port is free of debris.
