OPERATION cont.
NOTE: UV light will not illuminate until time has been selected. If no mode has
been selected within one minute, system will automatically turn itself off.
No matter which mode has been selected, the unit may be turned off
manually by simply holding the button down for three seconds anytime
during the cycle.
A safety switch will automatically turn off the wand if the light source is
turned upward.
When battery life gets short, the unit will start beeping. After three beeps the
unit will only restart after the AC Adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Be sure unit is not connected to the AC adapter and has been turned
off. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the two screws
that secure the bulb cover to the Wand body. Remove the bulb by
pulling straight up on the bulb from each end. Insert a new bulb by
pressing the pins into the slots at either end of the socket. Replace the
bulb cover and screws.
