Warnings and Precautions Symbols
The exclamation point, within a circle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the device.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the device’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
the risk of electrical shock.
The thermometer is intended to alert the user to the presence of internal
components that may reach high temperatures within the device’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient temperature to cause a burn.

Operating Information
Operating Instructions
1)
Clean visible dirt, mositsure or liquid residue from items to be disinfected as per manufacturer’s
instructions.
2)
Place item(s) in the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure (UV Box). For items with cords (or leads) that
must remain connected, thread the cord through the unit’s Wire Routing System.
3)
When disinfecting multiple items, do not stack or allow sides of items to touch.
4)
Close the door and turn the knob to lock. Press the red button to begin the decontamination cycle.
5)
When the red button and LED indicators turn off, remove item(s) and use normally.
Place any item inside the UV Box
without stacking or overlapping.
Wire Routing System accommodates
items that must remain connected.
Close the door and turn the knob
to lock for Disinfection Cycle.
Press the red button to begin the
Disinfection Cycle.
Note:
Covered surfaces not contacted by the UV light will not be disinfected.

Warnings, Precautions and Limitations for Use
Post-Disinfection Warnings
WARNING: The AUVS Germicidal Enclosure is intended to disinfect mobile
devices and non-critical medical devices. The subsequent utilization of the
mobile devices and non-critical medical devices disinfected by the AUVS
Germicidal Enclosure is the sole responsibility of the user.
Ultraviolet Light Bulb Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: Non-protected eyes or skin should never be exposed directly to
UVC.
WARNING: Ultraviolet bulbs contain mercury, and therefore, must be properly
disposed of as a hazardous waste in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations or the lamps should be recycled.
WARNING: Take precaution with broken UVC bulbs to avoid inhalation,
ingestion, or contact with skin or eyes. See Procedures for Disposal of Bulbs
and Special Handling Information for Broken Bulbs.

Safety Warnings and Precautions
Re: UVC Light Effects on Small Electronic Devices
From: Dr. Wayne Clark., Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion Research
To whom it may concern:
I have been involved over the past 30 years in research and development of intense ultraviolet sources and using that
UV energy for antimicrobial applications. The technology that is presently being used in the Germicidal Enclosure “UV
Box” is the same technology that I developed for the United States Department of Defense as part of the “Immune
Building Program” to protect against bio agent attacks. This technology was researched and developed through a
DARPA grant and is currently installed in the HVAC of the United States Pentagon providing air sterilization. The UV
Box small device uses the same technology based on photon multiplication that uses a low energy UV to achieve the
killing efficacy for C.difficile spores and other potentially deadly pathogens.
The question has been asked many times as to the effect of UV-C on electronic devices such as mobile phones, Tablets
and other sensitive medical devices. To answer this, it is important to understand Ultra-violet light and the average
intensity used for disinfection. The basic fact is that 254 nm UV light that is typically used for pathogen disinfection has
a very short penetration depth into almost all materials. For example, the penetration depth into metals is essentially
zero. On the other hand, the penetration depths for plastics and ordinary glass materials are less than a few
thousandths of an inch or immeasurable. The only materials that transmit wavelengths near 254 nm even short
distances are a couple of very special pure quartz or sapphire materials. These materials are used for the envelopes of
the UV-Box’s lamps. AUVS also uses a pure quartz material for the rods in the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure “UV Box” to
eliminate obstruction of the UV-C light while supporting the objects that are being disinfected.
The electronics in phones and electronic devices are located inside metal, glass and plastic enclosures. So, as a result,
the UV-C can't penetrate the enclosures of electronic devices to reach the electronics. The electronics are totally
shielded from the UV-C light. In addition, even if the UV could reach the electronic circuits inside the device enclosure,
the photon energy of 254 nm UV-C is too low to damage semiconductors, printed circuits, etc. UV-C light wouldn't
cause damage to the electronic circuits even if it could reach them. But, again, the electronic circuits are shielded
from the all UV light. Therefore, UV generated by the AUVS UV-Box and other similar devices cannot damage
electronics placed within it.

WARNING: Do not bypass any of the safety precautions built into the device.
Failure to comply may result in exposing skin to UVC. Prolonged skin exposure
may generate redness and an uncomfortable sunburn sensation.
WA RNING: The AUVS Germicidal Enclosure “UV Box” should not be operated
by children.
WARNING: High Temperature – UVC bulbs and assembly may develop high
temperatures. The UVC bulb reflector heads can reach high temperatures during
operation, but cool quickly upon completion of disinfection cycle.
WARNING: All assembly, adjustment, modification, maintenance and/or repair
should be performed by qualified personnel authorized by Advanced Ultra-Violet
Systems (AUVS)
WARNING: Only AUVS approved replacement parts should be used with
maintaining the device.
WARNING: Do not remove any warnings, cautions, or descriptive labeling from
the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure.
PRECAUTION: The product must be used in accordance with this User’s
Manuel.
PRECAUTION: Avoid spilling fluids on any part of the AUVS Germicidal
Enclosure.
Do not place food or drink inside of the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure. For
additional info please see intended use under Indications for Use.

WARNING: The power cord connected to the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure is
the main disconnect for the system.
PRECAUTION: When positioning the AUVS Germicidal Enclosure ensure that
the connection to the AC mains (wall outlet) is not obstructed, so that
disconnection is not blocked in the case of emergency.
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before servicing to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
WARNING: The AUVS Germicidal Enclosure must be connected to a grounded
electrical outlet to maintain grounding reliability.
PRECAUTION: The electrical installation of the room in which the AUVS
Germicidal Enclosure will be operated must comply with the local electrical
wiring standards.
