5. જાળવણી
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sofirn C8L flashlight.
- સફાઈ: Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp કાપડ ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ ટાળો.
- લુબ્રિકેશન: Periodically apply silicone grease to the O-rings and screw threads to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.
- બેટરી સંભાળ: 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.
- પાણી પ્રતિકાર: 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.
- ટકાઉપણું: 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. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ
If you encounter issues with your Sofirn C8L flashlight, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- ફ્લેશલાઇટ ચાલુ થતી નથી:
- Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) terminal facing the head.
- બેટરી ચાર્જ થઈ છે કે નહીં તે તપાસો. જો જરૂરી હોય તો રિચાર્જ કરો.
- 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.
- Light output is dim or flickers:
- બેટરી ઓછી હોઈ શકે છે. બેટરી રિચાર્જ કરો.
- 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:
- Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the flashlight and the power source.
- કોઈ અલગ USB-C કેબલ અથવા પાવર એડેપ્ટર અજમાવી જુઓ.
- Check if the charging port is free of debris.
