Replacing the Bulb
WARNING: To avoid burning your
fingers, allow the bulb to cool before touching
it.
Touching the bulb with your bare fingers could cause the bulb
envelope to fracture. Finger oils can also affect light
performance and severely limit bulb life. Install the bulb
using the wrapper to protect the bulb. If you should
inadvertently touch the bulb, gently clean it with cotton
dampened with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol.

To replace the bulb ,turn off the light
and allow the light to cool. If you must replace the bulb
immediately (to continue working on a patient, for
instance), turn off the
light. Release the toggles on the light shield and set the
shield aside. Using a gauze pad or cloth to protect your
fingers, carefully pull the old bulb from its socket and
discard it. Holding the new bulb in its outer wrapper with the
pins away from you, carefully insert it in the socket. The bulb
base is fragile and can break under excess pressure. Remove and
discard the outer wrapper, then reinstall the light shield and
secure with the toggles. Verify the operation of the light by
turning it on and operating it at each intensity switch
setting.

WARNING: Never operate the light with the
light shield removed. The clear shield contains UV
blocking additives. The light shield is also your
protection in the unlikely event that the bulb
shatters.
