Introduction
Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation in the segment of the
spectrum between X-rays and visible light, approximately 180nm to
400nm. It differs from visible light in that its wavelengths are too short
to be seen by the human eye.
UV-A, or longwave radiation, is 315nm and above. UV-B, or midrange
radiation, is 280nm-315nm. UV-C, or shortwave radiation, is 280nm
and below.
When UV radiation falls upon phosphors, it causes the phosphors to
emit specific radiation. This is known as fluorescence. In some
materials, the fluorescence lingers on and slowly disappears after the
UV source is removed. This phenomenon is known as
phosphorescence.
CAUTION:
SHORTWAVE UV IS HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND
SKIN. PROPER PROTECTION MUST BE WORN WHEN
OPERATING A LAMP EMITTING SHORTWAVE UV.
Tube Replacement
1. Remove the batteries prior to replacing the tube.
2. Pull off the circular bulb cover and end cap on the end of the unit,
followed by the clear tube cover.
3. Gently twist the tube by the base to release the tube.
4. Replace with a 4 watt longwave tube.
5. Replace the clear cover.
6. Reconnect the end cap and bulb cover back into position.
CAUTION
: DO NOT EXPOSE EYES OR SKIN TO SHORTWAVE
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT, AS RAYS MAY BURN UNPROTECTED EYES OR
SKIN (UVG-4, UVSL-14P). UV BLOCKING EYEWEAR IS RECOMMENDED.

Battery Replacement
The UVL-4, UVG-4 and UVSL-14P all operate on four (4) standard
AA batteries. Some alkaline batteries with test strips are slightly larger
than standard batteries and may cause a tight fit. Recommended
batteries for use in the Mini UV Lamps are Eveready Classic and
Rayovac without test strips.
To replace the batteries:
Press the center of the battery housing
closure toward the back of the lamp and slide the hinged door forward
and up. Insert the 4 AA batteries, orienting the batteries as indicated
below. Close the door.
NOTE:
Remove the batteries if the unit is to be stored for more than a
few months without use.
