BULB REPLACEMENT: Before changing bulbs, make sure set is unplugged.
CAUTION: This string contains two different types of Replaceable bulbs- steady-illuminating and fuse bulbs. REPLACEABLE
FUSED LAMPS-identified by the white (or green) colored ring on the lamp base. 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.
NOTE: Steady and Fuse bulbs are not interchangeable.
Replace Steady Bulb
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 bulbs
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.
Replace Fuse Bulb
NOTE: Fuse bulbs are secured in the base with adhesive. Do not attempt to remove old fuse bulb and replace with 2.5 Volt, 0.425 Watt fuse bulbs
provided with product.
CAUTION: 1. This lighting string is rated 150L, 61.2 Watts (0.51Amps), do not overload. Connect other lighting strings or decorative outfits
end-to-end up to a maximum of 21 6 Watts (1. 8 Amps) total.
If connecting to a Lighting String that does not have a Wattage (W) rating,{found on the cord tag within 6 inches of the plug}, calculate the wattage as
follows: Multiply the current ( A), which is also on that cord tag, by 120.
For example: The Lighting String is rated 120V, 60Hz, 0.2 Amps 0.2x120 = 24 Watts.
Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 21
6 Watts or less. (Do not exceed 21 6 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 electric shock: a)Do not install on trees having needles, leaves or branch coverings of metal or materials that look like metal,
and b)Do not mount or support strings in a manner that can cut or damage wire insulation.
WARNING: Risk of fire. This product employs overload protection(fuse bulb) in each series circuit to provide overload protection in addition
to the fuse(s) located in the plug. Do not replace the fuse bulb contained in this set with any other type of bulbs. Use only spare fuse bulbs provided with
this product.
