- 360 LED Lights (pre-attached)

Setup and Assembly
Assembly is straightforward and requires minimal tools. It is recommended to assemble the deer outdoors or in a garage due to potential glitter shedding.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all deer components, ground stakes, and zip ties from the packaging.
- Expand Deer Frames: Gently unfold and expand the wire frames of each deer (buck, doe, and fawn) to their full three-dimensional shape.
- Install Legs: For each deer, insert the leg sections into the designated slots on the body. Ensure they are securely fitted. Some models may require securing with included zip ties.
- Attach Neck/Head: Connect the neck and head sections to the main body of each deer. Use zip ties to secure these connections firmly.
- Attach Antlers/Ears/Tail: Securely attach any separate antler, ear, or tail pieces to their respective deer.
- Add Decorative Bows: Attach the festive red bows to each deer as desired.
- Position and Secure: Place the assembled deer in your desired outdoor location. Use the provided ground stakes to firmly anchor each deer into the ground to prevent tipping or movement due to wind.
- Connect Power: Connect the 2-prong power cords. The deer may have pass-through outlets allowing multiple deer to be connected to a single extension cord. Ensure all connections are dry and secure.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal appearance of your lighted deer set, follow these maintenance tips:

- Light Replacement: The LED lights are designed for long-term use. If a light fails, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for replacement if applicable.
- Weather Protection: While designed to be weather-friendly, consider bringing the deer indoors during extreme weather conditions (heavy storms, strong winds, prolonged heavy snow/ice) to extend their lifespan.
- Connection Check: Periodically check all zip ties and ground stakes to ensure they remain secure. Tighten or replace as needed.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your lighted deer set, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights not illuminating | Power cord not plugged in, loose connection, faulty bulb, power outage. | Check power connection, ensure all plugs are secure. Inspect bulbs for damage and replace if necessary. Verify power to the outlet. |
| Deer falling over or unstable | Insufficient anchoring, strong winds, uneven ground. | Ensure ground stakes are fully inserted. Add additional stakes or weights if necessary. Relocate to a more sheltered area or level ground. |
| Glitter shedding excessively | Normal during initial setup, rough handling. | Assemble outdoors or in a garage. Handle gently. Shedding should decrease after initial setup. |
