This string contains two different types of Replaceable

bulbs - steady-illuminating and fuse. REPLACEABLE
FUSED BULBS are identified with white bases. 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: G35 LED’s are non-replaceable. Tampering with this set voids
the warranty.

Replace Steady Bulb: Before changing bulbs, make sure set is unplugged.

NOTE: Steady and Fuse bulbs are not interchangeable.

Follow a)-b) above If the spare bulbs provided with the product have
no plastic base or the plastic base does not fit.
Then 1) Remove the old bulb by straightening the
bulb wires and pulling bulb straight from the base.
(Fig. a), 2) Replace the new bulb by straightening
the bulb leads and aiming each wire into a separate
hole in the plastic base (Fig. b), 3) 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 and in the center of the plastic base (Fig. c).

Replace Fuse Bulb:
NOTE: Fuse bulbs are secured in the base with adhesive. Do not

attempt to remove.
Remove old fuse bulb and replace with only 2.5 Volt, 0.425Watt fuse
bulbs provided with product.

CAUTION:

• 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.

• To reduce the risk of overheating, replace burned-out lamps promptly. Use

2.5 Volt, 0.425Watt lamps only.

• This Pre-Lit tree is rated 219 Watts (1.825 Amps), do not overload.

• 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 bulb. Use only spare fuse bulbs provided with this product.
