2.2 Getting Started
1. Connect the power cord to the socket on the back panel of the Lambda DG-4. Make
certain that the voltage selector next to the power cord socket has been properly preset to
the appropriate voltage (110 or 220). Do not turn on the power, yet.
2. Insert either end of the light guide into the port on the top panel of the Lambda DG-4
cabinet (see below) and tighten the thumbscrew to hold it in place. The top of the light
guide end sleeve should be flush with the top surface of the port fitting (see below). This
should result in maximal or near-maximal light output from the light guide. Minor
adjustments up from this position may improve output, and can be easily made once the
system is fully installed.
