Fluorescent Lamp "Flicker" Note
Your fluorescent lamps may flicker or "spiral" when new. This is a common characteristic
of new fluorescent lamps and does not indicate that the lamps are defective. Normally,
flickering gradually diminishes then disappears after approximately 50 hours of operation.
Flickering can be eliminated more rapidly by
1. turning the viewer on and off, rapidly, a few times or
2. by removing the lamps and reversing them end-to-end so that the pins go into the op-
posite sockets.
Extended, or chronic flickering can also be a result of the viewer being connected to an
ungrounded outlet or to a "noisy" electrical circuit, e.g. a circuit with a photocopier or
other device with high power requirements connected to it. To eliminate these causes of
flicker, make certain that your viewer is connected or wired to a properly grounded outlet
or reconnect the viewer to another circuit which is known not to have high-powered
devices on it.
Fluorescent Lamp End Blackening
Ignition filament deposit during operation can cause lamp blackening (banding, spots) at
the ends. This is a normal condition and will not affect the light quality or operational per-
formance of your viewing system.
Disposal
All fluorescent lamps contain small amounts of mercury. Please dispose of lamps properly
according to Federal, State, and Local regulations.
