(with the manual it shouldn't be too hard)

Whow hang on there fella us men don't read the manuals so what are you saying. I think but you might have to check that reading the manual has been banned by the Groovy book of forum rules and I would like to point out its not Friday its not raining and its day light so watch out for the Army of the Eye if you do read them we might just have to come to your house for a cup of tea and some attitude adjustment.


Be Warned !!!!!!

Hahaha.

If I don't read the manual I'll probably end up with an electrical shock (240 volts.. ouch) and possibly a fire hazard

Incorrect wiring also might destroy the $1000's of dollars of lights too

The four Christmas light computer controllers are almost here! They were cleared out of Australian customs at 11:00 am yesterday. So they will be somewhere between an airport and this address

Good news, I knew you wouldn't have had any problems with customs

[Groovy]

I spoke to customs yesterday morning for you marquisite and they said the only way that they could clear them on time was to take the manuals out of the boxes as they need to read them first before they could clear them, In case there was any graphic wording in them, They also said that they would not be able to sit down and read them until next year some time, I said that she will be right Mate, Just take em out and send the rest to him...

[marquisite]

The controllers arrived just before 11:00 am today.

I've yet to open the box, so lets see if Groovy is right or wrong huh

[Fi_]

I also just thought - I wonder if the manuals will be in english!!!!

[marquisite]

Strictly speaking, no they aren't. They'll be in American English as the manufacturer and distributer is located over there in New York.

But hey, that is still better than Engrish (the poorly translated manuals from the Asian manufacturers.)

[Crispin]

Yeah, American English bears no resemblance to proper English...

[marquisite]

Sorry Groovy, the manuals are still there.

Here are some photos of the package:
