Statements for Power Supply Mode

This product has two power supply modes: battery power and USB power. Battery power is suitable for both indoor & outdoor use, and USB power (only used indoors) can save on battery costs.

Battery powered ：Install four “D” quality alkaline batteries,USB power is no longer needed. This mode can be used both indoor & outdoor, and the trap can be used freely and placed in different locations, which is more convenient. Note that rechargeable batteries cannot be used.

USB power supply: Batteries are no longer needed, which eliminates the cost and disposal with using batteries.We suggest using a smart phone 5V socket adapter to connect the USB cable, very convenient. While it can not be used outdoors, and indoor use requires at a place relatively close to the power socket.

Note

1. When using USB for power, please take out the batteries. Also when using the batteries, please unplug the USB cord from the electricity.
2. The USB plug only provides direct power to the trap, and will not charge batteries. Please keep it plugged in at all times to ensure the product will work normally.
3. USB cannot be connected to a power bank, because the voltage of the power bank is not stable. If the voltage is low, it will effect the normal working of the trap.

Precautions for outdoor use:

1. The upper electronic part should not be immersed in water. Otherwise, the product cannot work normally. Should water enter the upper part, contact OWLTRA service team to buy a new upper part for replacement.
2. When used outdoors, please check the product status regularly, especially after rain.Please change the bait in time, so as to prevent the food from going bad or being eaten by other animals or reptiles, which will affect the catching effect.
3. It is recommended to place the trap against a wall, not in low-lying places where water is easy to accumulate.
4. If water is soaked in the infrared probe, the red and green light will blink at the same time. Please separate the top and bottom parts, clean and dry the probe promptly.

A：One of our clients suggested the following method for training mouse to enter into the trap: “I take the time to train the rat to go in. With the trap set to OFF: First I put a small amount of food near the entrance. Once they eat that I put a small amount of food near the entrance and first plate. When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the entrance and middle plate. When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the entrance, the bait dish and a very small amount just in front of the bait dish. When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the entrance, the bait dish and a very small amount just in front of the bait dish (two sunflower seeds). I turn the trap ON and by the next morning I've got a dead rat. A little patience goes a long way. It helps if the bait is something they really like. They love my bird's food, mixed seeds. They seem to like safflower & sunflower seeds the best.”
