Warranty:
- Do not subject the map to mechanical shock.
- Before using the lamp, ensure glass envelope is clean and free from dirt. Envelope may be gently wiper with either alcohol or acetone.
Caution: the circumference of the glass envelope around the light box is very thin and should be handled with extreme care. - Care must be taken not to contact lamp body with bare hand, as it's temperature reaches over 200°C during operation.
- UV radiation is harmful to eyes. Suitable eye protection must be worn when observing light output.
- Since this lamp operates at high voltages, extreme caution is require to prevent electrical shock.
