IMPORTANT
The Muse uses a Lithium-ion battery pack rated for 1000 full charge/discharge cycles. After this, the battery capacity may begin to noticeably degrade.
Tips to prolong the battery life are:
- Once fully charged, please remove from charger
- Avoid allowing the battery to reach 0%. Recharge when the low-battery indicator begins to blink
- When not in use, store The Muse with 25-50% battery (indicators 1-2)
- During charge, make sure The Muse is uncovered to avoid overheating
- Depending on the charger power output, The Muse may not always charge to 100% if the bulb is on at the same time
The battery, bulb, and glass can all be easily replaced. For replacement parts, please visit our website or contact us at customerservice@tala.co.uk
CARE AND CLEANING
We recommend cleaning with a soft dry cloth. If required, further cleaning can
be achieved with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive materials including
metal polishes as these will damage the finish of the product Do not use
alcohol or other solvents.
Extended use in wet or humid locations can cause condensation to form inside
the glass tube.

evaporate. To avoid condensation, it is recommended that the lamp is not
exposed to wet weather for long periods, such as left out in the rain
overnight.
