- 1 x OTUS Desk Clamp (Model DC-001 or DC-002)
3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your OTUS Desk Clamp and attach your desk lamp.
3.1 Attaching the Clamp to a Surface
- Identify a suitable mounting surface: Choose a stable desk, table, shelf, or workbench with an edge thickness that the clamp can accommodate. Ensure the surface is clean and free of obstructions.
- Position the clamp: Place the clamp over the edge of your chosen surface.
- Tighten the screw: Turn the tightening screw clockwise until the clamp is firmly secured to the surface. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the surface or the clamp. Ensure the clamp is stable and does not wobble.

3.2 Inserting the Desk Lamp
- Align the lamp post: Take your compatible OTUS desk lamp (e.g., DL-001 or DL-002) and align its base post with the cylindrical opening at the top of the desk clamp.
- Insert the lamp: Gently slide the lamp post into the clamp's opening until it is fully seated.
- Secure the lamp: If your lamp model includes a securing mechanism (e.g., a set screw) on its post, tighten it to prevent the lamp from rotating freely or being accidentally lifted. The clamp itself provides a snug fit for compatible lamps.

4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the OTUS Desk Clamp functions as a stable mounting point for your desk lamp. No further operation is required from the clamp itself. Adjust your lamp's arm and head as per its own instruction manual.
Ensure the lamp remains securely seated in the clamp during adjustments to prevent accidental dislodgement.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your desk clamp.
- Cleaning: Wipe the clamp with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the tightening screw to ensure it remains secure. Inspect the clamp for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and consider replacement.
- Lubrication: This product does not require lubrication. If any friction or squeaking occurs, ensure all components are properly aligned and tightened.
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp is not holding securely to the surface. | Tightening screw is loose; surface is too thick or too thin; surface is uneven or slippery. | Ensure the tightening screw is fully tightened. Verify the surface thickness is within the clamp's capacity. Choose a stable, flat, and clean surface. |
| Lamp feels loose or wobbles in the clamp. | Lamp post not fully inserted; lamp model is incompatible; lamp's own securing mechanism is loose. | Ensure the lamp post is fully inserted into the clamp. Confirm your lamp is an OTUS DL-001 or DL-002 model. If your lamp has a set screw, tighten it. |
| Squeaking noise when adjusting the lamp or moving the desk. | Friction between plastic components or between clamp and surface. | Ensure the clamp is tightly secured to the surface. Check that the lamp post is properly seated. This product does not require lubrication. |
