2. Insert the shaft on the pedestal base all the way into the hole on the end of the lamp arm [Figure (1)] and then secure it by tightening the screw using the supplied 2.5 mm Hex L-key [Figure (2)] Be sure to tighten the screw to secure the pedestal base to the lamp arm. Otherwise the pedestal base will detach from the lamp arm and result in damages or personal injuries if the lamp is unwittingly moved by grasping the lamp arm.
3. Connect the power cord to the power adapter [Figure (3)] and plug it into a power outlet [Figure (4)].

For the AR15_D Model with a Table Clamp (Available Separately)

2. Insert the shaft on the table clamp all the way into the hole on the end of the lamp arm [Figure (3)], and then secure it by tightening the screw using the supplied 2.5 mm Hex L-key [Figure (4)]. Be sure to tighten the screw to secure the table clamp to the lamp arm. Otherwise the table clamp will detach from the lamp arm and result in damages or personal injuries if the lamp is unwittingly moved by grasping the lamp arm.
3. Connect the power cord to the power adapter [Figure (5)] and plug it into a power outlet [Figure (6)].

The table clamp is not suitable to be mounted on tubular materials.

For the AR15_D Hop Model

The twisted and split opening design of the spring washer keeps the screw from loosening and maintains the stability of the stand when the lamp is in use.

Using the Lamp

Identifying the Model of Your Lamp

• Check if the sticker is there on the metal ring of the lamp.
• If yes, then you are using the model with dual auto-dimming mode. Refer to “Using the Model with Dual Auto-Dimming Mode” below for instructions.
