We picked up one of these battery powered LED strobe lights they were
selling for Halloween. They were selling at the dollar store for $5
before Halloween and now were marked down to $2.

Basically they are just a bright LED flashlight that has variable speed
flashing, and has adjustible speed by turning a knob.
It came with the batteries included, which requires removing a tiny
screw to get to the batteries.

While trying to determine what size batteries it uses by reading the
box, I found most of the writing on the box is a disclaimer which
consists of a lengthy paragraph. To summarize it, it says "Complies with
FCC rules and is designed to not cause tv or radio interference. Then it
goes on to say that if it does cause interference, "relocate it".

**** [Now for the DUMMY PART] ****

If it still interferes, "Connect it to an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected"......

WTF ?????
It's BATTERY OPERATED!
How can I plug it into a different outlet???

---

Yes, it's made in China. They probably dont even know what FCC means,
and apparently dont know the difference between a battery and an outlet!

Just the standard warning that comes on many things. I have seen all kind
of funny things like this on other items.

Feels so good to make fun of those Chinese doesn't it?

Most likely, they're trying to tell you to move the device showing
interference to a different circuit.

My pool ladder came with a warning to change it or some part of it every
year. Still trying to figure that one out.

You're probably supposed to change the pool ladder's batteries or move
the cord to a different outlet every year, to prevent underwater tv and
radio interference.

Yes, the Chinamen's feeble attempts at using the King's English are a laugh
riot! There's even a web site that memorializes the hilarity:

No, they're saying to move the ladder to a different swimming pool
every year. Best do this when no one in pool.

I came across this line in a Chinese motorscooter manual:

Check if almuce of connector is covered and fixation is tight (picture
of electrical connector).

"almuce" is a little piece of cellophane tape carrying some alien
writing that no human can read. It repels the Arcturan Licking Rat,
which has a fondness for motorscooters. These rats are so stupid that
they can't read something unless it's covered. The writing makes them
run away and lick themselves to death.

That does fit. Now I understand the whole page.
