Attention:
1. To prevent strands from getting tangled, each time you need to lower the pole to do any adjustments,
you must strap the light strands 2 times with 6 strands in a group (four groups for a tree set) using the
Velcro strips. Please refer to the details in "Take-down Instructions."
2. If you have a 25 ft. pole, you will not pull out the top section ofthe pole to set up this light set.
3. It is normal that the power transformer turns warm when it is working.
4. Raise the light kit high enough above the ground. Do not let water, snow, or ice cover the light kit base.
This will ensure the lights work properly, and will help the metal base be kept in good conditions.

Trouble-shooting
Clear light cap
Problem
<,
There are some lights of the tree kit that do not turn on.
Cause
The clear light cap is loose.
Solution
The clear light cap is designed to secure the LED bulb in place to connect with the wires. Tighten the clear light
cap by turning it clockwise. There are eight lights in a group. If one of them has lost contact with the wire, the
other seven lights will not turn on either. Once the loose cap is identified and tightened, all eight lights will turn on.
