This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety communications equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between 0.45-30 MHz. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

IMPORTANT : When replacing the retaining cage – DO NOT press/push against the screen windows. REPLACING BULB Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #43050 (or equivalent G24 Type – 120V/26W Bulb) The light bulb’s life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time.

Turn the power switch to the “off” position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow the bulb to cool before replacing.
Turn the unit upside down.
Twist the black threaded fastener piece securing the light housing counterclockwise to loosen. Move the light housing to the side.
Twist the two black threaded fastener pieces securing the light and carefully remove the silver clips.
Cover the bulb with a cloth to protect your fingers and hand. Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket.
Remove any debris from the lamp socket with a brush before inserting the new bulb. Insert new replacement bulb. Place metal clips in place and secure black threaded fasteners.

Twist the light housing clockwise into place and secure the black threaded fastener.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSEC TRAP WORKS

Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and the special TiO2 coating. The fan then pulls the insects into the screened base, trapping them until they dehydrate and die. The base can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically emptied into the trash. Monitor the insects trapped in the retaining cage, through the see-through screen, and empty when the compartment becomes full.
