To turn on the lighter, slide the security clip upwards, then hold power/ignition button. Ignite the candlewick.
 

Avoid getting wax on the electrodes, as this can impede the lighter. Avoid keeping the lighter in the flame for more than 2 seconds.
 

Ensure the security clip is down to cover power/ignition button when not in use.
 

Gently brush between the electrodes to clean off any residue when the lighter is off and locked.
 

To recharge, connect the micro cable to the lighter, then turn on the power source. Allow the plasma lighter to full charge, then disconnect the cable.
