Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Toio involves securing the headlight assembly onto the telescopic stem. Ensure the wiring is threaded carefully through the integrated rings to prevent snagging. For compatibility, the lamp is designed for use in indoor environments with standard electrical outlets. To maintain the lamp, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the metal components. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the nickel-plated brass to prevent scratching the finish. Periodically inspect the wiring and fishing rod rings to ensure no tension is being placed on the cable during height adjustments.
