Caution!
If the lamp electrodes are inserted the
wrong way, the flash bulb will still
work, but the lifetime will be signifi-
cantly reduced.
• Insert the shielding glass (85) in the two hold-
ers (86).
• Insert the new flash bulb into socket (46)
( Fig. 21 ); then push it carefully inwards as far
as it will go ( Fig. 22 ) (the polarity marker (+)
must not be visible any longer). If necessary,
move flash bulb gently up and down.
• Important! Make sure that the new flash bulb
is inserted correctly – the lamp electrode
(47) marked with a + must be inserted into
the socket (46) that bears the same mark (48)
( Fig. 21 ).
