immediately and contact the authorized service center or a qualified service
person for inspection or repair:

Do not use the lamp in a humid environment (like in a bathroom or outdoors). Otherwise the components inside may short-circuit and result in accidents. This lamp is designed for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Never disassemble the lamp or remove any components from it, as doing so may result in accidents and will void the product warranty
Installation

- Insert the metal shaft on the lamp body into the hole on the top of the lamp arm [Figure ]. When inserting, note the direction of the shaft and ensure that the lamp body is horizontally seated on the lamp arm. The convex side of the lamp arm should face toward the direction where the lamp head extends [Figure (1)].
