6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power to the outlet. Plug not securely connected. Timer function is active and lights are in 'off' cycle. Damaged power adapter or string. | Check the power outlet with another device. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Check the green indicator light on the adapter. If on, wait for the 'on' cycle or deactivate the timer. Inspect for damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Lights flicker or some bulbs are out. | Loose connection. Damaged wire or bulb. | Check all connections, especially if multiple sets are linked. Gently inspect the wire for breaks. If individual bulbs are out, it may be normal wear or minor damage; the rest of the string should function. If large sections are out or flickering persists, contact support. |
| Timer function not working as expected. | Timer not activated correctly. Power interruption. | Ensure the green indicator light on the adapter is on. If power was interrupted, the timer may reset; reactivate it by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds. |
