Do not use alcohol or any other chemical solvents like kerosene, naphtha, and so on, as the lamp’s casing may become damaged.
- Do not rinse the lamp or any of its components directly with water.
- If the lamp does not turn on, check to make sure that there are no loose connections between the USB cable and USB ports.
- If the lamp does not turn on and the Auto Dimmer Mode indicator keeps blinking, the lamp is supplied with insufficient power voltage. Connect the lamp to another USB port that provides a 5V output voltage to solve this problem.
