User Servicing Instructions

Fuse replacement : Before changing fuses, make sure the set is unplugged. Most often, fuses blow because too many sets have been string end-to-end.

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

CAUTION

When replacing lamps. Please note the first bulb (located closest to the bladed plug) and the last bulb (located closest to the end connector) are REPLACEABLE safety fuse lamps. These lamps can be identified by their white (or green)lamp holder ring.

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

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
Step 3 : Replace bulb with only 2.5 Volt, 0.425 Watt super bright midget push-in type lamp provided withproduct.
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

Remove the old bulb by straightening the bulb wires and pulling bulb straight from the base.
Replace the new bulb by straightening the bulb leads and aiming each wire into a separate hole in the plastic base.
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

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 (0.34A) which is on the flag-type tag by 120.
For Example: Lighting string is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 0.34 Amps. 0.34 X 120 = 40.8 Watts
Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 216 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 216 Watts.)
