TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Confirm power is turned on.

2. Before performing any troubleshooting, make sure to unplug string light completely from power supply

3. If one or several bulbs do not light, gently grasp and tighten bulbs further into socket. Do not over tighten. Plug into power supply and retry.

4. If none of the bulbs light up, check the fuse at end of cord. This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. If the fuse is blown, unplug the product from the outlet. Also unplug any additional  strings or products attached to the product.
   Replace the fuse as per the instructions below (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows again, it is possible that a short circuit has occurred and the product needs to be discarded.
   TO REPLACE THE FUSE: Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. Open access cover on top of the attachment plug. Slide the fuse cover towards the electrical prongs. Carefully pop out the fuse  using a small flat head screwdriver to remove the fuse (see Image 1). Insert the new fuse (extra provided with product) and ensure it is properly seated in the plug. To reduce the risk of fire, replace fuse with only a 7A 125V fuse (extra provided with  product).
   To close after inserting a new fuse, slide fuse cover back to original position.
   Close fuse access cover on top of the attachment plug.
   

5. Please contact our customer service department should you need further assistance.

RE-LAMPING STRING LIGHTS

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

For outdoor string lights, DO NOT re-lamp light strings during rain or when wet.

• Re-lamp string lights only during dry and calm weather conditions.
• Unscrew existing bulbs by lightly holding the socket in one hand and twisting the bulb counterclockwise. Bulbs may be tight in the sockets. This is normal to prevent moisture from getting into the socket.
