WARNING:
•
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.
•
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.
Note:
G35 LED’s are non-replaceable. Tampering with this set voids
the warranty.

assembly into socket. Do not
twist bulb when inserting into
socket. If bulbs are twisted, part

If the spare bulbs provided with the product have no plastic base or
the plastic base does not fit, first follow a)-b) above. Then 1) Remove
the old bulb by straightening the bulb wires and
pulling bulb straight from the base. (

), 2)
Replace the new bulb by straightening the bulb
leads and aiming each wire into a separate hole
in the plastic base (

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
).

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
