Leica TL ST Transmitted-light Base: Changing Bulbs

Changing the halogen lamp
Before you change the lamp, it is abso-
lutely necessary to unplug the power
plug from the base to prevent the risk of electric
shock!
The halogen lamp becomes very hot
during operation. Therefore, to avoid
being burned, let the base cool off for approx.
10 minutes after switching it off!
•
Do not touch new halogen lamps with
your bare fingers – this drastically
reduces the service life of the lamp!

Precautionary measures
•
When inserting the lamp, ensure that
the cables are inside the two metal

caught during insertion.
