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

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.
