when the light is stored. If the lamp is turned on while in a case or other container, the lamp can
overheat and damage the light or surrounding materials. Remove the battery or unscrew the bezel
far enough to prevent the lamp from turning on when stored.
Do not use a 3 Volt Lamp in a 6 Volt system. The lamp will BURN OUT immediately!!! To
identify a lamp assembly: the 3 volt lamp has a Red label and is marked R30, the 6 volt has a Blue
or Green label and is marked R60 or P60.
If it is necessary to dispose of any batteries, do not do so by fire, mutilation or by disassembly ,
as this may cause toxic chemicals to be released.
