 This product employs an overload protection (fuse) in the plug of each light set.
A blown fuse indicates an overload or short circuit situation. If the fuse blows,
unplug the product from the power supply. Replace the fuse as per the
replacement instructions indicated in this manual (follow product marking for
proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a
short circuit may be present and the product should be discarded.
 Do not attempt to connect this light set directly to the main supply—only use the
adaptor provided. – Applies only to trees with low voltage lights that
require an adaptor.
 This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a
feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord unless
plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter or replace the plug. - For trees with
extension cords only.
2. Attention
Should you choose to not read the instructions, please read this:
It is essential to replace burned out bulbs as promptly as possible. The
construction of all standard mini Christmas lights is series wiring. This means
that 50 bulbs each 2.5V are connected together in one string. When bulbs burn
out, the remaining bulbs get an increased voltage which shortens their life. 10
burned out bulbs in one set means the remaining bulbs are receiving a 20%
increase in power.
One of the main causes of the light set failure in standard Christmas lights is
“cascading”. This is when enough bulbs in one set have burned out to provide
the remaining bulbs with enough additional voltage that they quickly burn out
also.
This is especially important as the bulbs near their life expectancy of 1700
hours (usually in about 3 years of normal use). Sets that have cascaded are
usually indicated by blackened bulbs. The set can be repaired by simply
replacing all the bulbs in that set. Do this with the tree un-plugged or the
replacement bulbs will burn out instantly.
Burned out light bulbs are not covered by the warranty.
