• Do not dismantle.
• Do not use with power supply voltage other than 120 VAC.
• Do not operate in close proximity to flammable or combustible vapors, such as
aerosol spray products, or where oxygen is being administered.
• To avoid overheating the electronics or increasing the risk of fire, never cover
the product.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. They are necessary for proper function
of the lamp, and blocking them may cause overheating of the electronics and
increase risk of fire.
• Battery leakage may cause damage to the unit. Do not use the device if the
battery is leaking. Avoid direct skin or eye contact with any material leaking
from the battery.
• BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Improper use of this or any battery-
operated product may cause batteries to leak or explode, which may cause
personal injury or damage to electronic equipment.
• Do not mix BATTERY TYPES: Batteries are commonly available in alkaline,
standard (carbo-zinc) and rechargeable (nickel-cadmium). DO NOT MIX. Use
only three alkaline, three standard or three rechargeable batteries.
• Do not mix OLD and NEW batteries.
• Remove batteries when the product is not in use for extended periods of
time.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose of
batteries in fire.
• Do not operate this product if it has been damaged in any way. For example,
if the power supply cable or plug has been damaged or liquid has been spilled
on or objects have fallen on it, if it has been exposed to rain or moisture,
it does not operate normally or it has been dropped. There are no user-
serviceable parts in this product.
CAUTION:
• For indoor use only.
• This lamp is not for use with light dimmers, timers, motion detectors, voltage
transformers or extension cords.
• Unplug lamp during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
The device is not working correctly. Unplug from power, wait 30 seconds, then plug in again. If this is unsuccessful, try
