Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your new halogen bulb. Always ensure the microscope is powered off and unplugged before beginning any installation or maintenance.
Safety Precautions:
- WARNING: Halogen bulbs operate at high temperatures. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling.
- Avoid touching the glass part of the new bulb with bare hands. Oils from your skin can create hot spots, leading to premature failure. Use a clean cloth or gloves.
- Ensure the microscope is disconnected from the power source to prevent electrical shock.

- Holding the new Technical Precision bulb by its ceramic base or with a clean cloth, align the two pins of the G6.35 base with the corresponding holes in the socket.
- Insert the bulb firmly but gently into the socket until it is fully seated.
- Close the lamp housing cover securely.
