corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to equipment failure, equipment
damage, or data loss.
Caution Consult users manual for important information.
Caution This system should only be used by qualified medical personnel.
Caution To reduce the chance of direct visual exposure to the light, set the
light intensity knob to the minimum level and plug the fiber optic bundle into the
light source before turning the power ON.
Caution When the unit is on, never disconnect the fiber optic bundle from the
light source or the accessory from the end of the fiber bundle. High intensity light
from the end of the fiber optic bundle and light source can ignite flammable
materials (i.e. drapes).
Caution Grounding reliability is achieved only when connected to hospital-use
or hospital-grade receptacles. Inspect electrical plug and cord routinely. Do not
use if damage is discovered.
Caution PROVIDE VENTILATION TO PREVENT OVERHEATING. Do not
cover or drape the light source.
Caution Do not use the turret as a light attenuator or with the turret
misaligned with the light port, overheating will result.
Caution The ends of the fiber bundle get hot during use. Allow to cool
before removing.

Caution If this light source is used during invasive surgery, the failure of a
component within the system, causing loss of illumination, may directly cause
risk to the patient. Therefore, it is recommended to have alternative means of
illumination available.

available for replacement. Use only Welch Allyn replacement lamp number
04980. Use caution because lamp may be hot. Allow the lamp to cool before
replacing.
