Setup and Installation

The JERDON HL65CD mirror is designed for direct-wire wall mounting. This means it connects directly to your home's electrical system, requiring no visible power cords or plugs. For safety and proper function, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended.

• Location Selection: Choose a mounting location that has an existing electrical junction box or where one can be safely installed. Consider the desired height for primary users, as the mirror's vertical position is fixed once mounted.
• Power Disconnection: Before any installation, ensure the power to the circuit is turned off at the main breaker.
• Mounting Plate Installation: Secure the mirror's mounting plate (4" x 5") to the wall over the junction box using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached to a stud or appropriate wall anchors.
• Wiring: Connect the mirror's electrical wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. This typically involves connecting live, neutral, and ground wires.
• Mirror Attachment: Attach the mirror unit to the mounting plate, ensuring all connections are secure and the mirror is stable.
• Power Restoration: Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

• Powering On/Off: The mirror features a toggle switch located on the oval base of the wall mount. Flip the switch to turn the LED halo lighting on or off.
• Adjusting Magnification: The mirror head is dual-sided. Gently swivel the mirror 360 degrees to switch between the 1X (true image) and 5X (magnified) sides.
• Positioning the Mirror: The mirror is attached to an extendable arm that allows it to swing out and retract. Adjust the arm to bring the mirror closer or push it back against the wall when not in use. The arm also allows for horizontal pivoting to achieve the desired angle.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to wipe the mirror surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Finish: For the chrome finish, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as these can scratch the surface.
• Bulb Replacement: The mirror uses a 25-watt replacement lightbulb (Jerdon model JPT25W). To replace the bulb, ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker, then carefully follow the instructions provided with the replacement bulb or consult a professional.

Troubleshooting

• Light is not bright enough: The integrated LED lighting is designed to provide supplementary illumination for detailed tasks. It is not intended to be the primary light source for your bathroom or vanity. Ensure adequate ambient lighting is available.
• Mirror feels unstable after installation: Ensure the mounting plate is securely fastened to a wall stud or appropriate heavy-duty anchors. If only two screws were used, consider adding more for increased stability, especially given the mirror's weight and adjustable arm.
• Mirror fogs up during showers: To prevent fogging, turn on the mirror's light a few minutes before taking a shower. The warmth from the bulb, combined with airflow openings, can help keep the mirror surface clear.
• Mounting plate holes do not align with electrical box: While designed for standard electrical boxes, minor adjustments or professional assistance may be required if alignment issues occur during installation.
