■ Do not place any objects on the device. ■ Do not operate or place the device close to naked fl ames (e.g. candles). ■ The earth spike has a sharp pointed end. This could lead to injuries. ■ If you notice any unusual noises, smoke or similar unusual situa- tions, remove the batteries and disconnect any attached USB charging cable from the power supply and contact Customer Service (see the chapter Service) Risk of injury if batteries are improperly handled ■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children can put bat- teries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY. ■ Do not throw batteries into a fi re. Never subject batteries to high temperatures. ■ Risk of explosion! Do not charge batteries unless they are explicitly labelled as "rechargeable". ■ Do not open the batteries or short-circuit them. ■ Do not mix diff erent types of batteries. Due to increased risk of leakage, empty batteries should be removed. The batteries should also be removed from the device if it is not being used for long periods. ■ Battery acid leaking from a battery can cause skin irritation. In event of contact with the skin, rinse with copious amounts of water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, do not rub and immediately consult a doctor. ■ The chapter entitled "Initial start-up" describes how to correctly insert and remove batteries.

FTUS 3.6 A1 Initial operation This section provides you with important information on handling and using the device. DANGER During the initial start-up of the device there is a risk of injury and/or damage to property! To avoid risks, observe the following safety instructions: ► Packaging material must not be used as a plaything. Risk of suff ocation. ► Please follow the instructions regarding the electrical connec- tion of the device to avoid damage to property. Inserting the batteries NOTE

The batteries are preinstalled on delivery. ♦ To insert the batteries in the device, open the battery compart- ment cover by unscrewing the 4 Phillips screws in the battery compartment cover . ♦ Insert 3 x 1.2V batteries into the battery compartment. Please observe the polarity, which is marked in the battery compartment. Otherwise the device will not work and can be damaged. ♦ Close the battery compartment lid and ensure that the seal is inserted. Battery charge level display The battery condition is displayed using a red illuminated or blinking LED in the movement sensor . LED lit: batteries full LED fl ashing: batteries empty IB_30865_FTUS3.6A1_LB1.indb 56IB_30865_FTUS3.6A1_LB1.indb 56 17.10.14 10:2517.10.14 10:2557 FTUS 3.6 A1

Charging the batteries with the USB charging cable ♦ You can charge the supplied batteries directly in the device using the USB charging cable provided. First, remove the rubber plugs from the connection socket . Now insert the USB charging cable into the connection socket and connect the USB charging cable with your computer or a USB adaptor. Charging takes between 5 and 10 hours depending on how much the batteries have discharged. NOTE

The red LED fl ashes during charging. Charging the batteries with the collector panel ♦ During the day, the solar cells convert sunlight into electricity and charge the batteries. ♦ The number of operating hours depends on how long and intensively the sun shines on the collector panel . For the best results, place your solar lamp at a location where sunlight shines directly on to the collector panel . Direct sunshine of at least 8 hours duration is ideal for completely charging the batteries. The location must be free from shadow and shade. ♦ Ensure that the movement sensor is not infl uenced by direct sunlight or other light sources. This can result in malfunctions. Set-up location requirements This device complies with protection class IP44. This means that the device is protected from dust and water spray, and can be used re- gardless of the weather conditions. However, proper protection from water spray is only provided if the device is correctly closed and all seals are intact and clean. Please be aware that protection from water spray is only provided to a limited extent if the USB charging cable is used.

Never set the device up without the earth spike ! ■ The supplied earth spike comes in two parts. You can either use it with both components fi xed together, or only use one com- ponent to achieve a lower height. ■ Insert the earth spike into the fi xing for the earth spike . ■ In order to guarantee optimum movement detection, the device must be located so that the movement sensor is pointing in the direction of the area to be monitored. ■ The movement sensor may not be blocked by other objects. Wall mounting ♦ Drill a hole (ø 6 mm) and insert the wall plug supplied. When drilling, ensure that you do not inadvertently damage power, gas or water lines. ♦ Screw the supplied screw into the wall plug so that ap- proximately 1 cm of the screw is protruding from the wall and then hang the device onto it. Handling and operation To start operating the device, please note the following points: Setting the movement sensor ♦ Turn the sensitivity regulator on the movement sensor clockwise. The sensitivity of the movement sensor depends on the distance, range or size of the animals to be detected. The smaller the animal, the higher the preset sensitivity on the movement sensor needs to be (max.). If a larger animal such as a dog is to be detected, turn the sensi- tivity regulator on the movement detector anticlockwise (min.).

Please note, that if a high sensitivity is set (max.), the the appliance will also register larger animals (e.g. people/dogs, etc.). Adjusting the frequency The device is provided with 5 diff erent programmes for frightening animals away. ■ Programme 0: The appliance is switched off . ■ Programme 1: 13.5 kHz–17.5 kHz (rodents, such as mice) ■ Programme 2: 15.5 kHz–19.5 kHz (dogs and foxes) ■ Programme 3: 19.5 kHz–23.5 kHz (dogs, cats and birds) ■ Programme 4: fl ashing light ■ Programme 5: all programmes are used ♦ Turn the frequency regulator to the required programme to select it. Cleaning CAUTION Damage to the device! ► To avoid irreparable damage, ensure that no moisture penetrates the device during cleaning. ■ Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Use a normal commercial detergent and water to remove stubborn residue. Ensure that no water gets into the device. ■ Clean the collector panel with a moist cloth. ■ Clean the seal regularly with a little Vaseline to keep it malle- able. This is the only way to ensure that the seal protects the inside of the device from moisture. ■ If you need to replace the seal please contact customer service (see chapter Service).
