Troubleshooting

Globe does not rotate smoothly

Check for any obstructions or debris around the rotation point where the globe meets the frame. Ensure the globe is seated correctly on its axis.

Map details are unclear or peeling

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing. If damage has occurred, contact customer support.

Base is unstable or wobbles

Ensure the globe is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the anti-slip pad on the wooden base is intact and clean. If the base itself is damaged, contact customer support.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The globe comes pre-assembled. Simply place the globe onto its wooden base. Ensure the anti-slip pad on the base is making contact with the surface to prevent movement.

Compatibility: This globe is designed for general educational and decorative purposes. It is compatible with standard display surfaces such as desks, tables, and shelves. No electronic compatibility is required.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Globe: Gently wipe the surface of the globe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the high-definition map details. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately.
  • Cleaning the Base: The wooden base can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. If needed, a wood polish can be used occasionally to maintain its luster, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
