SO-801 Hand-Held Slit Lamp
User Manual
LAMP REPLACEMENT
The lamp is a quartz halogen type with a rated life of 22 hours.
Replacement lamps can be obtained from Scan Optics. To replace the
lamp, unscrew the optical head from the handle then gently unscrew the
knurled silver cap on
the end of the handle and remove the existing lamp. Insert the new lamp
by holding it by the base and dropping it into the hole in the bottom of the
silver cap. By holding the handle and cap upside down, the risk of
dropping the lamp may be minimised. Screw the cap back onto the
handle. Ensure that the cap is not fastened excessively tightly, so that
damage to the lamp contacts may be avoided.
Do not touch the envelope of the bulb with bare fingers, as it may reduce
the life of the bulb. If it is accidentally touched, clean with a degreasing
agent such as acetone or ethanol.
