Installation & Setup

Follow these steps for safe and proper installation.

Choose Location: Select a dry, indoor location near a wall outlet. Ensure the area is clean and free from obstructions.
Uncoil Lights: Gently uncoil the entire string of lights. Avoid kinking or twisting the wires.
Position Lights: Drape or arrange the lights as desired (e.g., along a shelf, around a window, on a wall). Use hooks or clips designed for light strings if needed. Do not use nails or staples that can pierce the cord.
Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Switch On: Use the On/Off switch on the power adapter or cord to turn the lights on.

CAUTION! Ensure the power adapter and cord are not pinched, covered, or placed where they can be tripped over.

To Turn On: Press or flip the On/Off switch to the "I" or ON position.
To Turn Off: Press or flip the switch to the "O" or OFF position.
Daily Use: The lights are designed for continuous use but it is recommended to turn them off when leaving the house or going to sleep.

Note: The LEDs may emit a slight warmth during operation, which is normal.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and safety.

Unplug First: Always unplug the lights from the wall outlet before any cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning: Wipe the cord and bulbs with a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure no moisture enters the bulb sockets or power adapter. Do not immerse in water or use liquid cleaners.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, unplug, coil the lights loosely (avoid tight bends), and store in a cool, dry place.
Bulb Replacement: The LED bulbs are not user-replaceable. If a bulb fails, the entire string may need replacement. Do not attempt to open or repair the bulbs.

CAUTION! Never pull the cord to unplug from the outlet. Grasp the plug firmly.

Troubleshooting

Lights do not turn on	Not plugged in; Switch off; Outlet problem	Ensure plug is fully inserted into a working outlet. Check that the switch is in the ON position. Try a different outlet.
Partial string is dark	Loose bulb; Internal fault	Gently check if any bulbs are loose (with power off). If problem persists, the string may be faulty.
Flickering lights	Loose connection; Faulty adapter	Check all connections are secure. If flickering continues, discontinue use.
