2. Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, always follow these safety precautions:

• Ensure the power source voltage matches the product's specified voltage (110 Volts).
• Do not exceed the maximum connectable strands (up to 3 strands). Overloading can cause fuses to blow or create a fire hazard.
• Always unplug the string lights from the power outlet before installing, replacing bulbs, or performing any maintenance.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. Inspect the string lights for any damage before each use.
• Keep bulbs and sockets dry. While designed for outdoor use, avoid submerging in water.
• Do not secure the wiring with staples or nails, or place it on sharp objects that could damage the insulation.
• Ensure bulbs are securely tightened into their sockets to prevent moisture entry and ensure proper electrical contact.
• Keep out of reach of children.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the string lights and bulbs from the packaging. Inspect the cord, plugs, and bulbs for any signs of damage.
2. Install Bulbs: Before hanging, ensure all 25 G40 bulbs are securely screwed into their E12 sockets. Hand-tighten each bulb until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. Plan Placement: Determine the desired location for your string lights. Consider the length (25 feet) and the 12-inch spacing between bulbs. Ensure the power outlet is within reach of the male plug.
4. Mounting: Use appropriate mounting hardware (not included) such as hooks, zip ties, or guide wires to secure the string lights. Avoid hanging the lights by the electrical cord itself. Ensure the sockets are facing downwards to prevent water accumulation.
5. Connecting Multiple Strands (Optional): These string lights are connectable end-to-end. To extend the length, align the male plug of one strand with the female plug of another and push firmly to connect. You can connect up to a maximum of 3 strands together. Ensure the total wattage does not exceed the fuse rating.
