b) Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device.
c) Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
d) Using a flathead screwdriver, open the fuse cover.
Slide open the fuse access cover on top of the attachment plug towards blades.
e) Remove fuses carefully.
f) Risk of fire. Replace fuse only with 3 Amp, 125 Volt fuse (provided with product).
g) Close fuse cover. Slide closed the fuse access cover on top of the attachment plug. Make sure the door is fully closed and fuses are completely covered.
h) Risk of fire. Do not replace the attachment plug. Contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard the product if the attachment plug is damaged.

CAUTION: This string contains two different types of Replaceable bulbs- steady-illuminating and fuse bulbs. REPLACEABLE FUSED LAMPS – identified by the white-colored ring. There is one fuse bulb for each lighted circuit of 50 bulbs. Always replace burned-out bulbs promptly. If a number of bulbs are burned out, extra stress is put on the remaining bulbs in the circuit. This may cause additional bulbs to burn out prematurely. When a fuse bulb fails the entire circuit will not light. Before changing bulbs, make sure the set is unplugged.

REPLACEABLE FUSED LAMPS –identified by the white-colored ring

Replace Steady Bulb

NOTE: Steady and Fuse’s bulbs are not interchangeable.
Step 1: Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling the cord.

Step 2: Hold the bulb by the plastic base and pull the bulb/base straight out of the socket.
Step 3: Replace bulb with only 2.5Volt, 0.425 Watt super-bright midget push-in type lamp provided with the product.
Push spare bulb/base assembly into the socket. Do not twist the bulb when inserting it into the socket. If bulbs are twisted, part of the set will not light.
If the spare bulbs provided with the product have no plastic base or the plastic base does not fit, first follow steps 1 – 2 above. Then
a) Remove the old bulb by straightening the bulb wires and pulling the bulb straight from the base.
b) Replace the new bulb by straightening the bulb leads and aiming each wire into a separate hole in the plastic base.
c) Make sure each bulb lead comes out of an exit opening at the bottom of the plastic base. Now bend each lead up such that each bulb lead fits closely against the narrow side of the plastic base.

Replace Fuse Bulb

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the product does not

light

| One or more of the based bulbs may have loosened from the socket during transporting. There is a break in the circuit between the bulb leads and the socket terminals. Fuse(s) may have moved.| Unplug the set at the outlet. Starting with the first unlit bulb, gently push (don’t twist) each bulb base firmly into the socket. If still does not light, then remove each based bulb to check for out-of-place lead wires. Open the fuse door and check fuses.
If a bulb is broken| Bulbs may have hit against each other when transporting| Mark socket(s) with a piece of tape and unplug the set before removing the based bulb from the socket. Replace the broken bulb. Should another bulb flicker while doing this that is a faulty bulb. Replace with a new bulb.
If a based bulb is missing| One or more of the based bulbs may have come out of the socket when transporting| Mark socket with a piece of tape and unplug the set. Replace the base bulb or use one of the spare-based bulbs included with the product.
If a bulb burns out| Incorrect bulb, premature bulb failure, or voltage is too high| The remaining bulbs should remain lit. However, it is best to replace burned-out bulbs as soon as you find them.
