General

Thank you for choosing this product. This user guide comprises instructions for use and safety information. Please read the instructions carefully and note the regulations and relevant information before putting the ultrasonic animal scarer into operation. Please keep this user guide in a safe place for later use.

Intended use

• The ultrasonic animal scarer is used to scare away and deter various types of animals from gardens. The device is set up outdoors (in beds or on lawns) with the help of the ground spike or the top sec-tion can be place directly on the ground surface. If there is no option to set the device up outdoors, it can also be mounted on the wall.
• The device is designed for outdoor use and has IP44 protection.
• Improper use and tampering with the device or its charging cable will void warranty and liability claims.

Safety instructions

CAUTION!
Risk of physical injury and material damage if used incorrectly.

• Make sure that the device is only used by people who have the professional skills required to do so.
• Keep the device out of reach of children and frail people.
• To avoid eye damage, do not flash in the eyes.
• Some people may be able to hear a sound. Position the device as far as possible away from areas where there might be people with sensitive hearing, children or babies.
• Do not use the device in areas where pets are present and there is no possibility of escape. Avoid animals having to stay permanently within the effective range of the device and thus being exposed to its function.
• Do not cover the pyroelectric sensor (PIR sensor).
• Protect the device from extreme weather conditions, especially in connection with wetness.
• Do not immerse the device in water and avoid standing the device in water under any circumstan-ces (e.g. during prolonged rain).
• Do not use the device if parts of the casing, power pack or supply cable are damaged.
• Note the maintenance and cleaning instructions.

Batteries / charging instructions

Only use rechargeable batteries!

1.2 Volt batteries of type AA (NiCd or Ni-MH)

• The device is supplied as standard with 3 rechargeable type AA batteries.
• Keep the batteries away from fire or sources of extreme heat.
• Do not use batteries of different types or with different expiry dates. Always change all the batteries at the same time.
• If the charging and discharge times are very short, this means that the batteries need to be replaced.
• Remove all batteries from the battery compartment if the ultrasonic animal scarer is not going to be used for a prolonged period. This will prevent the batteries leaking and causing potential damage to your device.
• If rechargeable batteries or the device are not used for a prolonged period (> 1 month), the batte-ries may discharge completely. If possible, reactivate the batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Charging the batteries with the USB power pack

• If the sky is overcast for a long time or during a rainy period, you can charge the device using the charging cable.
• Take the device with the USB power pack into closed rooms for charging. Only charge indoors.
•  Keep the charging cable and device away from hot surfaces. Do not charge the device at tempera-tures below 0 °C or above 40 °C.
• Do not charge the device while exposed to direct sunlight or the heat of a radiator.
• The standard charging time is 300 minutes. Avoid extended charging times to prevent damage to the battery. Keep an eye on the charging process and do not charge during a period of prolonged absence or overnight.
• Only use the original charging cable. If the power pack or access line is damaged, do not continue to use the product.

How it works

• The PIR sensor detects movement by means of heat radiation and triggers the device.
• A powerful ultrasonic wave scares the animals. If animals wander into the PIR sensor’s detection range, the wave is emitted. This alarms the animals, causing them to leave the area.
• A powerful LED flash startles the animals. If animals wander into the detection range, a flash is generated. The animals are frightened and flee.
• There is also a warning sound to scare wild animals.
• The integrated solar panel charges the batteries, ensuring that the device is always ready for use as soon as the battery voltage is sufficiently high.
