DCCT6504 Pre-Lit LED Slim Asheville Fir Artificial Christmas Tree

Product Information: 6.5 Foot Slim Asheville Fir with Color Changing LED

Lights

The 6.5 Foot Slim Asheville Fir with Color Changing LED Lights (Item # DCCT6504) is a pre-lit artificial Christmas tree suitable for indoor use only. The tree features color changing LED lights that can be controlled with a button on the control box or by stepping on the foot pedal. The tree comes in three sections (A, B, and C) that need to be assembled together using screws and metal hinges. The tree also comes with a stand that needs to be rotated until the three holes align, forming an X shape. The branches are connected to the tree pole by metal hinges and can be reshaped to their original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Remove the contents from the carton carefully and keep the carton for future storage. Do not forcibly remove contents.
2. Locate the tree stand and rotate the legs until the three holes on the inner and outer walls of the hub align, forming an X shape. Insert the screws into the holes but do not turn all the way in. Leave space inside the hub for the tree pole to slide down.
3. Place the stand where you are going to set up the tree on a level surface. Allow the branches to fall into place by pressing down on each branch if it catches on another branch.
4. Locate TREE SECTION B tagged with the letter B and insert it into TREE SECTION A. Make sure the section is sitting securely and allow the branches to fall into place.
5. Locate TREE SECTION C tagged with the letter C and insert it into TREE SECTION B. Make sure the section is sitting securely. Pull the branches down slightly by hand as they are not hinged to the pole in this section.
6. Connect the light set plug(s) from each tree section into the section below securely. To find the connections easier, the light sets have a male/female plug with a colored barbell label. For the connection from Section A to B, there will be a red barbell label with the number one. For the connection from Section B to C, there will be a yellow barbell label with the number two. Further secure the plug connection by screwing the outer cover into place.
7. To change between lighting functions, press the button on the control box or step on the foot pedal. The order of functions is: (1) Only clear lights on (2) Only multi lights on (3) Alternating flashing clear and multi lights (4) Off.
8. Plug in the lights as you are shaping the tree. The branches were condensed to fit into the box and can be reshaped to their original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner. Shape by section and layer, starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up to ensure coverage of the tree.

ASSEMBLY

CAREFULLY REMOVE THE CONTENTS FROM THE CARTON. KEEP THE CARTON FOR FUTURE STORAGE. DO NOT FORCIBLY REMOVE CONTENTS.

Step 1: Locate the TREE STAND. Rotate the legs until the three (3) holes on the inner and outer walls of the hub align, and the stand forms an “X” shape (see Fig. 1). There are three (3) screws with the stand. Insert the screws into the holes, but do not turn all the way in. Leave space inside the hub for the tree pole to slide down.
Place the stand where you are going to set up the tree. THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE THE TREE WHERE IT IS LIKELY TO WOBBLE DUE TO UNEVEN FLOORS OR THICK CARPETING. PLACE THE TREE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.

Step 2: Find TREE SECTION A, tagged with the letter “A”. Remove the green pole cap (see Fig. 2) that is covering the bottom of the pole. It is a protective cover only and can be kept for storage if desired. Insert TREE SECTION A into the TREE STAND. Do not force the pole. It will slide down to its correct position. Make sure the pole is seated firmly in the stand. Turn all three screws evenly until they touch the pole. If Tree Section A is not sitting straight, then simply loosen the screws, adjust the tree pole, and retighten the screws.
Allow the branches to fall into place. The branches are connected to the tree pole by metal hinges (see Fig. 3).
NOTE: SOME BRANCHES MAY CATCH ON ONE ANOTHER. IF THAT OCCURS, SLOWLY PRESS DOWN ON EACH BRANCH UNTIL IT FALLS INTO PLACE.

Step 3: Locate TREE SECTION B, tagged with the letter “B”. Insert TREE SECTION B into TREE SECTION A. Make sure the section is sitting securely and allow the branches to fall into place.

Step 4: Locate TREE SECTION C, tagged with the letter “C”. Insert TREE SECTION C into TREE SECTION B. Make sure the section is sitting securely.
NOTE: THE TOP, INNER PART OF THE POLE TO TREE SECTION B HAS A GREEN POLE ADAPTER INSIDE. THIS POLE ADAPTER IS NOT TO BE REMOVED. TREE SECTION B HAS A GREEN STEM COMING OFF THE BOTTOM OF ITS POLE WHICH FITS SNUGGLY INTO THIS ADAPTER AND GIVES STABILITY TO YOUR TREETOP.
The branches are not hinged to the pole in this section, so you will need to pull the branches down slightly by hand.

Step 5: Connect the light set plug(s) from each tree section into the section below securely. To find the connections easier, the light sets have a male/female plug with a colored barbell label. For the connection from Section A to B, there will be a red barbell label with the number one . For the connection from Section B to C, there will be a yellow barbell label with the number two . Further secure the plug connection by screwing the outer cover into place.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE BARBELL LABELS ON YOUR LIGHT SETS. THEY WILL HELP YOU TO EASILY FIND THE PLUGS AND CONNECT THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

Step 6: In TREE SECTION A, there is a power adapter that is to be guided down through the tree section to the floor. Insert it into a power outlet in your home or into a U.L. approved power strip (not included). Tap the foot pedal (see Fig. 4) to turn the lights on and switch between light functions. For first use, you may have to press the button on the control box (see Fig. 5) to turn the lights on. To change between light functions (see Fig. 6), either press the button on the control box or step on the foot pedal. Your tree should now be lit. If some bulbs do not light, please go to the section named TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR LIGHTS. Press the foot pedal again to turn the tree off.

CONTROL BOX – LIGHT FUNCTIONS ORDER OF FUNCTIONS:

1. Only clear lights on
2. Only multi lights on
3. Alternating flashing clear and multi lights
4. Off

NOTE: Change between lighting functions by either pressing the button on the control box or by stepping on the foot pedal.

SHAPING

1. Plug in the lights as you are shaping the tree.
2. The branches were condensed to fit into the box and can be reshaped to their original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner.
3. Please reference the image on the cover of this instruction manual to see what the tree should look like.
4. Shape by section and layer, starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up to ensure coverage of the whole tree.
5. On each branch, begin with the tips closest to the pole and work your way to the end of the branch.
6. The tips should be shaped up and to the sides, resembling a peacock’s fanned tail. Offset the tip from the tip before to hide the tree’s pole and fill spaces. Continue spreading the tips until they resemble that of a real tree.
7. After shaping the whole tree, step back and take an overall look. Shift branches to fill any gaps. Your tree is now ready to decorate and enjoy!

CLEANING & CARE

AS YOU WILL BE USING THE TREE EVERY YEAR, THE FOLLOWING ARE TIPS TO KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION AND MAINTAINED:

• Dust gently using a soft cloth or fabric duster.
• Do NOT use any chemicals or solvents to clean.
• Handle the light sets gently. Do NOT pull or tug light sets as this may inadvertently loosen the bulb.
• Follow all Storage and Safety Instructions.

STORAGE
PROPER TREE HANDLING AND STORAGE WILL HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TREE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

1. Remove any ornaments and decorations that were added by you and did not come with the tree.
2. Unplug the tree from the power source in your home and disconnect the plug connection between each tree section.
3. Starting with the top, separate each tree section and stand gently, being sure not to roughly handle as it could cause damage to the parts.
4. Compress each tree section by turning it upside down and squeezing the branches together so that it will fit more easily into the storage box or container. You can also tie a ribbon or cord around the sections to secure the branches closer together for storage.
5. Place all the parts gently back into the storage box. The box will help prevent the tree from being damaged should it get bumped in your garage, basement, or other storage location. Tape the box shut to keep out any dust or insects. When packing up the tree, please ensure that there is no stress or strain to the tree.
6. Be sure to store the tree in a cool, dry area free of water and moisture to prevent mold and mildew from accumulating and a musty odor from developing. Exposing your tree to excessive heat or humidity may damage your tree. DO NOT STORE THE TREE IN A DAMP AREA OR IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 100ºF. STORE THE CARTON FLAT AND NOT UPRIGHT ON ITS SHORT END.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR LIGHTS

IF YOUR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, THE FOLLOWING ARE TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TO TRY:

1. Check that the power plug is properly connected to your wall outlet or other power source.
2. Press the button on the control box. Tap the foot pedal.
3. Check that there is power to the wall outlet or power source.
4. Check that all the plugs within the tree are securely connected and positioned correctly. Plugs are keyed to fit one direction only with the flat section of the female plug matching up to the flat section of the male plug.

NOTE: LED bulbs are permanent and cannot be removed from the light sets.
