BSG TECHNOLOGY – PHOTOPLASMA™

The Mobizone® is an excellent tool designed to eliminate unpleasant odours at their source whilst cleaning and freshening the a ir.
When properly used, the Mobizone® significantly reduces bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms in the air and on surfaces. The Mobizone® does not just mask odour with chemicals or perfumes; it actually destroys the odours leaving a cleaner, more pleasant environment.
BSG’s advanced Photoplasma™ technology is designed to sustainably enhance indoor environments. It goes beyond conventional cleaning methods by harnessing a combination of negative ions, hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, ultraviolet light and ozone. The elements of Photoplasma™ quickly and actively break down the structure of contaminants by a chain of reactions. Eventually, the contaminants are decomposed and converted to harmless molecules such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
In essence, BSG’s Photoplasma™ advanced technology brings the holistic benefits of the outdoors, where nature’s cleansing mechanisms thrive, directly into our indoor spaces. It ensures a sustainably enhanced, healthier, and more refreshing living environment.

LAMP CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT

ATTENTION: Avoid touching the glass portion of the lamps with bare fingers. Use gloves or a cloth to handle the lamps. If the glass is touched, use isopropyl alcohol to wipe the glass surface clean.

• Wait until the unit has cooled.
• Unfasten the screws on the underside of the unit.
• Open the case.
• Carefully remove the old lamp from its socket by holding the socket with one hand and the Photoplasma™ lamp with the other.
• Connect the new Photoplasma™ lamp to the socket and replace lamp in clamps.
• Avoid touching the new lamp glass with bare fingers.
• Reassemble the case and tighten the screws.

The old lamp contains small amounts of mercury and should be recycled similar to any fluorescent or compact fluorescent lamp bulb.
Disposing of the lamps according to local hazardous waste disposal laws. The lamps are disposed of at the same facilities as household fluorescent bulbs or compact fluorescent lamp bulbs.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

CONDITIONS OF USE
USAGE SAFETY
CAUTION: Carefully read all safety warnings and instructions. Failing to adhere to these warnings and instructions may result in severe injury or, in extreme cases, even death.
In the following safety warnings and instructions, the terms “device” or “product” refer to the Mobizone®.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Ensure the plug fits the socket. Using original plugs with matching sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Refrain locating device such that it is touching grounded elements such as pipes, heaters, boilers, and refrigerators. There is a higher risk of electric shock if the grounded device is exposed to rain, comes into direct contact with a wet surface, or operates in a moist environment. Water getting into the device drastically increases the risk of device damage and electric shock.
• Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
• Use the cable solely for its intended purpose. Never use it to transport the device or to forcibly extract the plug from a socket. Ensure the cable remains clear of heat sources, oil, sharp objects, or moving components.
• Compromised or tangled cables heighten the potential for electric shock.
• If you find yourself using the device in a damp environment as an unavoidable necessity, it is advisable to incorporate a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD significantly diminishes the risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate the device if the power cord exhibits damage or displays signs of wear. A deteriorated power cord should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent the risk of electric shock, avoid submerging the cord, plug, or the device itself in water or any other liquids. Likewise, do not use the device on wet surfaces.
• Take precautions to shield the device from moisture, as exposure may lead to an elevated risk of electric shock.
