3. Place the trap on the retaining cage and twist clockwise to the lock position.
4. If hanging the unit, place it approximately 3 – 6 feet above floor or ground for optimal catch-rate and easy access for cleaning. The unit can also be placed on the floor or ground.
5. Flip power switch to “ON” (“I”) position. The switch is located under the upper housing near the light bulbs.
6. For best catch results, leave the unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
7. Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results, place the unit away from other competing light sources.
8. It is recommended to place the unit 20 – 40 feet away from where people will be sitting.
9. This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions. Intended for household and commercial, indoor and outdoor use.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plugin any way.
11. SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES – In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.

Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to those parts in the appliance. The symbol must be identical to those parts in the appliance. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION”,  “DOUBLE-INSULATED” or the symbol:

FCC COMPLIANCE

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:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CLEANING

2. Grasp the edge of the crossbar and pull up firmly to remove the damper assembly.
3. Dispose of contents and clean any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage with a small brush.

REPLACING BULBS REPLACE WITH DYNATRAP® BULBS #32050

The light bulb 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.

1. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” (“0”) position. UNPLUG UNIT (1), and allow bulbs to cool before replacing.
2. Remove screw from clear plastic light socket covers (2).
3. Remove both clear plastic light socket covers.
4. Carefully turn the bulb counterclockwise and then pull the bulb straight out (3).
5. Locate and insert new bulbs into sockets, carefully turn clockwise, and make sure the prongs of the bulb are seated properly.
6. Replace clear plastic light socket covers and secure with the screw.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS

Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photocatalysis 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
