GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
Risk of Electric Shock – Connect this furnishing to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions below.
This product must be grounded, if it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Rev 5
Danger:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Optional Integrated Task light:
The optional task light is integrated into the bottom shelf and is powered by a low
voltage outlet located on the horizontal raceway. For larger tables with two bottom
shelves, two low voltage power outlets are provided.
When removing or adjusting shelves, always unplug the task light from the low
voltage outlet first. To remove the plug, first it is necessary to unscrew the locking
ring. Turn in a counterclockwise direction until it is loose. Then the plug can be
removed by pulling on the plug body. Never remove the plug by pulling on the
cord since this may cause product damage. The low voltage output is only for
powering the supplied task light and should not be used for any other purpose.
Re-installation is the reverse of removal.
Switch Options:
Your task light may be equipped with an on/off dimmable light switch or a motion
sensor switch.
Touch Switch: The dimmable touch switch is located at one end of the task light
strip and is operated as follows:
 To turn the light on or off, touch the sensor for a moment. If off, the
light will come on at the last brightness setting stored in the system.
 To change the brightness, touch and hold the sensor. The first time the
sensor is touched the brightness will slowly increase. Release when
the desired brightness has been reached. The second time the sensor is
touched, the brightness will slowly decrease. Releasing the sensor will
store the brightness setting.

Motion Sensor: The motion sensor option is located in the middle of the task light
strip. This provides automatic operation of the task light at full brightness when
motion is detected within approximately 10 feet (3m) of the motion sensor. When
no motion is detected for approximately 30 seconds, the light will turn off.
Cleaning:
The table and light fixture can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild cleaning
solution. Solvents should not be used. If spray cleaner is used, spray on the cloth,
not the furniture to avoid cleaning solution entering enclosed electrical areas.
