Replacing the Lamp

WARNING
• To avoid electrical shock or damage to the instrument, turn off the
power switch (turn to " ") and unplug the power cord before lamp
replacement.
• Use the specified lamp. Using a different kind of lamp may damage the
instrument or cause a fire hazard.
Specified Lamp: Halogen lamp 6V-20W (PHILIPS 7388 or OSRAM
CAUTION
• The lamp is hot when in use. To avoid burn injury, turn off the
microscope and wait at least 30 minutes (until the lamp is cool enough
to touch) before attempting to change the lamp.
• Make sure that the contacts of the lamp and socket are not damaged
before installing a new lamp. If the contacts are damaged, they may
cause poor illumination or overheating.
• Insert the lamp's contact pins fully into the socket holes. If the pins are
loose, the lamp could come loose or result in a contact failure, which
will cause overheating or smoke.
• Be sure to put the field lens unit back in place after replacing the lamp.
Never turn on the lamp without the field lens unit.
• Do not touch the glass part of the lamp using your bare hands. Wear
gloves or use a cloth when handling the lamp to protect the surface
from fingerprints. Wipe off any fingerprints or stains using a clean cloth
moistened with alcohol. Fingerprints will etch into the hot surface of the
lamp and reduce the brightness, damage the lamp or reduce its service
life.
• Handle the lamp gently. Shocks and vibrations will damage the lamp or
reduce its service life.
• Do not break the used lamps ; instead dispose of them as special
industrial waste or according to the laws applicable to your municipal
waste system.
