Safety Information
Please read and follow these safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
- Do not attempt to modify or repair the lights yourself. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Use only the provided power adapter.
- Keep the lights and power adapter away from open flames or excessive heat sources.
- Ensure all connections are secure and waterproof to maintain the IP65 rating.
- Avoid looking directly into the LED lights for extended periods.
- Install the lights in a location where they will not be a tripping hazard.
Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your DeerTalk Permanent Outdoor Lights. The lights are designed for installation 2-4 inches away from the wall surface to achieve the optimal triangular lighting effect.
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the installation surface (eaves, walls) with a cloth or tissue to ensure it is free of dust and debris. This helps the adhesive adhere properly.
- Apply Adhesive: Peel off the protective film from the adhesive backing on each light unit.
- Position and Press: Firmly press each light unit against the cleaned surface for at least 6 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
- Secure with Screws: For enhanced security and to prevent falling, use the provided screw clips to fix each permanent light unit. This is crucial for long-term stability.
- Connect Light Sections: If you have multiple string light sections (e.g., for longer installations), splice them together using the waterproof connectors. Ensure these connections are tightly screwed in to maintain water resistance. Note: The light strings cannot be cut.
- Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the main light string and then plug it into a suitable outdoor power outlet.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DeerTalk Permanent Outdoor Lights, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the light units with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
