Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on.

Ensure the lamp is fully charged. Check the USB-C cable and power source, or verify wireless charging pad is functioning. If the issue persists, consider if the battery needs replacement.

Dimmer control is unresponsive or erratic.

Ensure the dimmer knob is clean and free of debris. Try a full charge cycle. If the issue continues, contact customer support for potential troubleshooting of the internal components.

Battery life is significantly shorter than advertised.

Ensure the lamp is not consistently used at maximum brightness or warmest settings, as this consumes more power. Verify the battery has been replaced with a genuine Tala part if applicable. Perform a full charge cycle. If the problem persists, the battery may need replacement.

Wireless charging is slow or not working.

Ensure the lamp is correctly positioned on a certified Qi wireless charger. Remove any obstructions between the lamp and the charging pad. Try a different compatible wireless charger to rule out a charger issue.

Reverse charging does not power a connected device.

Ensure the Muse 2.0 has sufficient battery charge. Check that the USB cable used is functional and compatible for charging. The connected device's power draw may exceed the lamp's output capacity for reverse charging.
