WARNING

• The device is not intended for use by children or anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge. A supervisor should always be present.

• Hearing damage due to sound pressure. To counteract any hearing damage
  caused by the sound, ear protection must be worn during direct use of the
  device and when entering their effective area. Keep the device away from the ear canal during operation. Keep the device away from children or teenagers.

• Store and operate the device in such a way that misuse by children, teenagers
  and third parties can be ruled out.

• Do not expose the device and batteries to high pressure or hightemperatures. Do not operate the device at temperatures higher than +40°C.

CAUTION

• Battery acid burns. Wear protective gloves when removing leaking batteries
  from the device. Then clean the contacts on the device with a soft cloth.

• Use only batteries of the same type. When replacing dead batteries, remove
  all old batteries and replace them with new ones. Do not mix old batteries
  with new batteries.

• Risk of tripping. Position the device so that it does not pose a tripping hazard to persons and animals. Do not place the device in walkways.

• Headache, pressure sensation and tinnitus. Do not place the device inside living areas unless your device is designed for that purpose. Prolonged exposure to the sound may negatively affect hearing. Under certain conditions, headaches, a feeling of pressure in the head or tinnitus can be triggered. If you experience any of the above symptoms, please consult a physician directly. Switch off the device if you spend prolonged periods of time in its vicinity.

**NOTICE**

• Note that the sound is also perceived by your own pets. Make sure that the device is switched off if your pet is in the device’s effective area.
• Do not make any improper changes or modifications to the device.
• Contact the service for repairs.

Info

• The device transmits signals that are barely audible for humas. This device works in the sonic 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.

INTENDED USE

DEVICE OVERVIEW

EXPLANATION OF THE PRODUCT LABELS

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The emitted sound signals scare away the moles that are active underground. They are designed to irritate the moles, simulate danger and drive them out of their habitat. This device has an effective area of app. 750 m² under ideal conditions, with signals being sent in all directions. Try to avoid obstacles so that the sound waves can travel unhindered. If you have a large area infested by moles, we recommend that you place several units at a distance of 20 30 metres from one another.

FIRST TIME OPERATION

The VOSS.sonic MoleEx 800 is powered by 1.5 V mignon AA batteries (4 pcs.)

CAUTION
Use only batteries of the same type. When replacing dead batteries, remove
all old batteries and replace them with new ones. Do not mix old batteries with
new batteries.

 Info
Continuous operation of the device is not possible. To achieve the longest possible operating time, we recommend using batteries and not rechargeable batteries.

1. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment (fig. 1 )
   

2. Insert the batteries (4x AA batteries) (fig. 2a/b), inserting them with the positive pole first.

WARNING
Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries to avoid battery leakage or explosion and possible damage to persons or the device.

3. Close the cover (fig.  3).

The device will immediately start emitting sound.

4. Insert the device into the ground. Make sure that the rod protrudes 1-2 cm above the ground (fig. 4 ). This protects the unit from water damage in heavy rain. Do not use too much force to avoid damaging the unit.

NOTICE
The device must not be placed directly into the molehill.

**Info**

• Please check the ground condition before use. Frozen, irrigated or soaked with water earth is unsuitable. The denser the earth, the better the device works. Best results are achieved if VOSS.sonic MoleEx 800 is installed near a molehill. However, as the rod cannot simply be pressed into solid earth, we recommend loosening the earth beforehand with a spade/garden shovel and pressing it firmly again after insertion.
• Leave the VOSS.sonic MoleEx 800 in continuous operation. It can take up to 2 weeks before results become visible.

PRACTICAL TIPS

• When placing the device, be careful not to „catch“ the mole between the sound waves. For example, do not place the devices in all four corners of the property.
• Drive the mole away from the house in the direction of the property line. To do this, place the mole repellent in front of the first molehill near the house wall.
• Approx. every 2 to 3 weeks, move the VOSS.sonic MoleEx 800 towards the property boundary.
  The molehills should continue to move in that direction.

CLEANING

NOTICE

• Do not use aggressive solvents/cleaning agents, brushes, sharp objects or similar for cleaning. These can damage the surface.
• Do not immerse the unit in water or other liquids. There is a risk of a short circuit.

Clean the unit with a damp cloth if it is dirty.

MAINTENANCE

The unit requires little maintenance. However, you should carry out regular visual inspections. Check the unit for damage before each use.

NOTICE
Do not use the unit if there is any visible damage

DISPOSAL

The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with normal household waste. End users are required to hand in the appliance at a collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment. If the product contains a battery or a rechargeable battery, these should be disposed of separately from the product if possible. As an end user you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return used batteries that we supply or have supplied as new batteries free of charge to our warehouse (shipping address) or to a recycling centre in your area. If the battery or the rechargeable battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury by weight, more than 0.002% cadmium by weight or more than 0.004% lead by weight, this will be clearly indicated by the respective chemical symbol (Hg Cd, or Pb) below the symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin on the battery or the rechargeable battery. Recyclable materials such as zinc, iron, aluminium, lithium and silver can be found in batteries and rechargeable batteries. They may also containsubstances such as mercury, cadmium and lead. These are poisonous and dangerous to the environment if not disposed of properly. Heavy metals can have harmful effects on human, animal and plant health and accumulate in the environment.

The separate collection and proper disposal of your old appliances and used batteries/rechargeable batteries contributes to the conservation of natural resources and guarantees recycling that protects human health and preserves the environment. Information on where to find collection points for your old appliances or used batteries/rechargeable batteries can be obtained from your town or council administration, the local waste disposal companies or from VOSS GmbH & Co.
