Never use or store the Fleximount in extremely hot or cold environments, since they can damage the product over time. Keep the mount away from heat sources, as well as water or any other liquid. Do not keep the Fleximount anywhere near children or pets. This product is not a toy. In addition, any soft or uneven surfaces can cause the mount to fall over, which may damage either the product or your device, especially at a high height. Only use and store your Fleximount in a cool, dry space, on a surface that’s flat and hard, to ensure that the lamp operates properly. Surfaces such as desktops, nightstands, or kitchen counters should work just fine.
