GENERAL SAFETY TIPS

Observe and follow the safety tips contained in this section.

WARNING

• This device is not intended to be used by children or anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge. There must always be a supervisor on site.
• Sound pressure can cause hearing loss. Hearing protection must be worn while the device is being used directly and when entering the effective area to counteract any hearing damage caused by ultrasound. Keep the device away from the ear canal during operation. Keep the device away from children and adolescents.
• Store and operate the device in such a way that it cannot be misused by children, adolescents or third parties.
• Pacemakers can be damaged by the magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the supplied magnet can have a negative effect on pacemakers. If you use a pacemaker, keep a safe distance away from the magnet.
• Risk of explosion. The device physically disconnects the battery voltage from the device if the mains adapter and batteries are used at the same time. To prevent any malfunctions, use only one of the two energy sources mentioned.
• Do not expose the device, mains adapter or batteries to high pressure, high temperatures, humidity or moisture. Do not operate the device in a damp environment or at temperatures above +40°C.

CAUTION

• Battery acid causes chemical burns. Wear protective gloves when removing leaking batteries from the device. Then clean the device’s contacts using a soft cloth.
• Only use batteries of the same type. When replacing dead batteries, remove all old batteries and replace them with new batteries. Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.
• Trip hazard. Position the device and the cable of the mains adapter so that they do not pose a tripping hazard to humans or animals. Do not position the device or the mains adapter cable in walkways.
• Headache, pressure, and tinnitus. Do not position the device in living spaces unless your device is designed for this. Although the devices are only triggered by movement, long periods of movement within the sound range of the device can affect the hearing. Under certain conditions, this can cause headaches,  a feeling of pressure in the head or tinnitus. If you experience the above symptoms, please consult a doctor directly. Switch off the device whenever you must remain in the vicinity of the device for a longer period.

NOTICE

• Note that the ultrasound tones can also be heard by your own pets. Make sure the devices are turned off when your pet is in the effective area. Ultrasonic tones are very irritating to animals. Animals’ fear and warning calls are also in the ultrasonic range, so ultrasonic tones can scare them away.
• Do not make any incorrect changes or modifications to the device.
• Never open the housing. Contact the Service department if repairs are required.

Info

• Depending on the setting, the device transmits signals that are audible, barely audible or not audible at all to humans. This device works in the sonic and ultrasonic range. According to the current state of knowledge, ultrasound does not cause any damage if the maximum level is below 140 db (sound pressure) and the mean level, based on 8 h/day, is below 110 linear db. Our devices emit ultrasonic frequencies that can generate between 80 and 120 db of sound pressure at close range.
• The devices must be set up in such a way that you comply with the laws applicable in your country for ultrasonic emission in public spaces. This can be obtained from the local authorities responsible for your area.

DEVICE OVERVIEW

6.1 EXPLANATION OF THE PRODUCT LABELS

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY SITE

The device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When choosing the installation site, observe the general safety instructions given in chapter 2 and the following points:

• Make sure there is a properly installed electrical socket nearby if using the mains adapter.
• Do not position the device in depressions in the ground to protect it against accumulations of water.
• To achieve the best possible results, make sure that the side of the device is not covered by furniture or curtains and that no carpet is fitted in the area of operation. These  would reflect or absorb the sound waves.
• When using the device under a vehicle, make sure that the device is centred under the vehicle with a clearance of at least 12 cm from the ground. If the VOSS.sonic 360 is operated using the mains adapter, make sure that the supply cable cannot be run over by vehicle tyres.
• Depending on the local conditions, the VOSS.sonic 360 can protect a space of up to approx.  700 m². Make sure that no other property is exposed to sound without the consent of the owner.
• The feet (7) of the device are equipped with holes 4.5  mm in diameter for fixing the VOSS.sonic 360 to the ceiling. Ceiling mounting is only permitted in roofed spaces where it is ensured that no water (e.g. condensation) can drip onto the device.

INITIAL SET-UP

The VOSS.sonic 360 can either be operated using the included mains adapter or with 1.5-V D batteries (4 pieces).
WARNING
Use only one of the two energy sources mentioned.
Info
Continuous operation is only possible when using the mains adapter.

8.1 OPERATION WITH A MAINS ADAPTER
CAUTION
Trip hazard. Position the device and the cable of the mains adapter so that they do not pose a tripping hazard to humans or animals. Do not position the device or the mains adapter cable in walkways.
WARNING AGAINST ELECTRICAL VOLTAGES
Use only properly installed sockets to supply the device with power.

1. Open the lock on the mains connection (8) and insert the plug of the mains adapter into the mains connection (8) (Fig. 1).
2. Plug the other end of the mains adapter into a properly installed power socket.

The device is ready for use
8.2 OPERATION WITH BATTERIES
CAUTION
Only use batteries of the same type. When replacing dead batteries, remove all old batteries and replace them with new batteries. Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.
DANGER
Small parts could be swallowed. Keep children away from the device while changing the batteries.

1. Remove the four screws from the battery compartment cover (9).

2. Remove the battery compartment cover (9) and insert four D batteries (1.5 V) (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). WARNING
   Ensure that the batteries are inserted the right way round to prevent the batteries leaking or exploding and to prevent possible injury to persons or damage to the device.

3. Put the cover back on the battery compartment (9) and fasten the cover with the screws you removed earlier.
   The device is ready for use.

8.3 SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON AND OFF

1. To switch on the device, hold the supplied magnet (6) against the magnetic switch (4) for about one second.
   The device is automatically switched on in the first setting.
   The indicator LED will flash.

2. To switch off the device, hold the supplied magnet (6) against the magnetic switch (4) for more than two seconds.
   The indicator LED will not flash.
   Info
   Experience has shown that noticeable results should be seen after approx. 2 weeks. It is advisable to use the device at regular intervals to prevent the pests from returning.
