Bulb Replacement
Before changing bulbs, make sure set is unplugged.

Step 1: Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling cord.
Step 2: Hold bulb by the plastic base and pull bulb/base straight out of socket.
Step 3: Replace bulb with only 2.5Volt, 0.425 Watt super bright midget push-in type lamp provided with product.

1. LAMP BASE
2. LAMP WIRES

Push spare bulb/base assembly into socket. Do not twist bulb when inserting into 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 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 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.

CAUTION: 1. This lighting string is rated 40.8 watts (0.34 Amps), do not overload. Connect other lighting strings or decorative outfits end-to-end up to a maximum of 216 Watts (1.8 Amps) total. If connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating {found on the tag within 6 inches of the plug} calculate the wattage as follows:
Multiply the current (___A) which is on the flag-type tag by 120.
For Example: Lighting string is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 0.2 Amps. 0.2 X 120 = 24 Watts
Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 216 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 216 Watts.)
2. To reduce the risk of overheating, replace burned-out lamps promptly. Use 2.5 Volt, 0.425 Watt lamps only.
3. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock: a) Do not install on trees having needles, leaves or branch coverings of metal or materials which look like metal, and b) Do not mount or support strings in a manner that can cut or damage wire insulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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 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 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.
