5 دیکھ بھال
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sofirn C8L flashlight.
- صفائی: Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp کپڑا کھرچنے والے کلینر سے پرہیز کریں۔
- چکنا: Periodically apply silicone grease to the O-rings and screw threads to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.
