Solar powered animal repeller
Introduction
We congratulate you on the purchase of your new product. You have chosen a high quality product. The instructions for use are part of the product. They contain important information concerning safety, use and disposal. Before using the product, please familiarise yourself with all of the safety information and instructions for use. Only use the product as described and for the specified applications. If you pass the product on to anyone else, please ensure that you also pass on all the documentation with it.
Intended use
This product is intended for use as an animal repellant, through the use of high frequency tones and / or flashing light. Animals, which are under species protection, e.g. the mole, must not be caught, injured or killed. Any use of the product for other or additional purposes is considered improper use. No claims can be made for problems cause by improper use or failure to comply with the operational and safety instructions included in the operational manual. The product is not intended for commercial use.
Mechanism
The product registers the body heat of animals that move in the detection range of the motion sensor. As soon as an animal is registered, the product produces high frequency tones, which are uncomfortable for animals. As different animals can have different hearing ranges, the frequency of the signal can be adjusted. Nocturnal animals can also trigger an automatic flashing light. To be able to repel lots of different animals, you can adjust the settings to combine any of the signal frequencies with the flashing light.
WARNING: Frequencies from 16Hz to a maximum of 20kHz can generally be heard by humans. However, with increasing age, human's ability to hear higher frequencies is reduced. You should work on the assumption the programmes 1, 2 and 5 release frequencies, which can be heard by humans.
Thus you should set up the product so that it is out of the hearing range of humans.
Note: The product will not affect any electronic equipment, including pacemakers, garage door openers, remote controls and such like.

- Replacing/inserting rechargeable batteries
Insert / replace the rechargeable batteries when you notice the operational period of the product has noticeably decreased over time, despite full exposure to solar radiation.
Open the battery compartment cover and remove the old rechargeable batteries 16 Then remove the fixing screws of the battery compartment cover 8.
If necessary, remove the old rechargeable batteries and insert three new rechargeable batteries. Clean the rechargeable battery and battery compartment contacts if necessary. Only use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of type AA 1.2 V, 800 mAh. When inserting, ensure the correct polarity has been used. This is indicated in the battery compartment.
When closing the battery compartment, ensure that the seal is in the correct place.
- Charging the rechargeable batteries
The rechargeable batteries are delivered fully charged. In direct sunlight the rechargeable batteries are charged by the built-in solar panel [10]. They can also be charged using the enclosed USB charging cable [13].
Charging the rechargeable batteries with the solar panel
The product's solar panel [10] converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in the rechargeable batteries.
To ensure optimal rechargeable battery charging, position the product in a place, in which the solar panel [10] is exposed to direct sunlight. To fully charge unloaded batteries, the solar panel [10] must be exposed to at least 8 hours of direct sunlight.
Charging the rechargeable batteries with the USB charging cable
Especially during the darker times of the year, depending on the length of time for which the product is activated each day, you may find that sunlight does not provide the rechargeable batteries with enough energy. However, you can charge the rechargeable batteries using the enclosed USB charging cable [13] and your computer or a standard USB adapter (not included in delivery).
This charging process must be carried out indoors because the splash protection no longer works when the DC charging socket 12 is open. The charge level of the rechargeable batteries is shown on the product on the charge indicator 6 (a red LED on the motion sensor 5) when it is switched on:
Red LED is slow flashing: the rechargeable batteries need to charge.
Not any LED and sound effect response: the rechargeable batteries voltage is very low, they must be charged immediately.
Red LED is fast flashing: the rechargeable batteries are in the charging status.
Red LED is illuminated: the rechargeable batteries are fully charged.
Switch the frequency control to Programme 0 during the charging process to prevent disturbances from visual or acoustic signals.
Remove the rubber plugs from the DC charging socket.
Plug the USB charging cable 13 round plug into the DC charging socket 12 and connect the USB plug of the USB charging cable 13 to your computer with a USB port. Alternatively, you can use a USB adapter, which can be bought from a retailer.
Depending on the current charging state of the batteries, charging takes approx. 5-10 hours. During the charging process, the charge indicator 6 flashes.
When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the charge indicator 6 will illuminate.
- Start-up
The product is protected against splash water and is also suitable for outdoor use. Ensure that all seals [9] (under the battery compartment cover [8] and on the DC charging socket [12]) are positioned correctly. There are two possible installation options:
Installation on the ground, using the ground spike
The enclosed ground spike 14 and ground spike connector 15 comes in three parts (see Fig. C), but for low installation heights, one part can be used on its own. Never place the product directly onto the ground: it can be flooded in heavy rain.
Push the point of the ground spike into soft earth. Never use force.
Push the open end of the ground spike into the holder for the ground spike 11.
Point the product, so that the motion sensor is pointed towards the area you wish to monitor. Make sure that the area you wish to monitor is not blocked by objects, such as trees or garden furniture.
Installation on a wall using a screw / peg
Use the enclosed peg 18 ( 0.6 mm ) and the screw 17 to install the product on a wall. This installation material is intended for a normal wall. If the wall you wish to install the product on has a different consistency, check with a specialist to find out which material is suitable for installation on your wall.
Ensure the screw is a maximum of 1.5m above the ground.
□ Allow the screw to protrude approx. 1 cm from the wall and use the loop 7 to hang the product on the screw.
Operation
The product has two adjustment options:
Adjusting the motion sensor
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted using the sensitivity controller 2. If a movement is detected, a signal / flash sounds / shines approx. 30 sec. Adjust to MAX position, the detection range approx. 8 m.
Adjusting the signal frequency
The product has 5 different programmes to repel certain kinds of animals.
Adjust the frequency controller 3 to select below frequency programme.
