Frequently Asked Questions - Z31049 FLORABEST

How does the Florabest Z31049 solar electronic repellent work?

The device emits sound waves at intervals of 20 seconds for 5 seconds to repel moles and other pests. It is powered by a solar cell that recharges the built-in NiMH batteries.

Where should I install the repellent for optimal operation?

Place it in a location exposed to direct sunlight for as long as possible. The solar cell should be oriented as vertically as possible relative to the angle of incidence of light.

How long does it take to recharge the batteries?

The charging time depends on the light intensity and the angle of incidence. In sunny weather, a few hours are enough, but it may take longer in cloudy weather.

How do I replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment (see illustration E in the manual), remove the old batteries and insert two new NiMH AA 1.2 V / 600 mAh batteries, observing polarity.

What should I do if the lighting duration decreases?

If the lamp turns off more quickly despite good sunlight, the batteries may be worn out. Replace them with new ones of the same type.

How do I clean the device?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth. Avoid abrasive products.

Is the device waterproof?

Yes, it is rated IP44, which means it is resistant to water splashes. It can stay outside in the rain but must not be submerged.

Can children use the device?

It can be used by children from 8 years of age under adult supervision. Children must not play with the device. Cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.

What to do in case of malfunction?

Keep sources of radio interference away (nearby electronic devices). If the problem persists, remove the batteries, wait a few moments, then reinsert them.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device or batteries in household waste. Take them to a recycling center or appropriate collection point, in accordance with directive 2006/66/EC.

Safety instructions

DANGENTO LIFE AND RISK OF ACCIDENTS FOR INFANTS AND

CHILDREN! Keep rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children. Do not leave the rechargeable batteries lying around. There is a risk of children or animals swallowing them. Consult a doctor immediately if a rechargeable battery is swallowed.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

■ Never leave children unattended with the packaging material. It can cause suffocation. Children often

underestimate dangers. Always keep children away from the product.

This product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children. Children are not aware of the dangers associated with handling electrical products.

Product-specific safety instructions

■ Make sure that the solar panel is free of dirt and free of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the performance of the solar cell will diminish.

Safety instructions for rechargeable batteries

CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Use only rechargeable batteries of the recommended type. Other rechargeable or single-use batteries could explode during charging.

FIRE HAZARD! Do not allow rechargeable batteries to short-circuit. Otherwise the

rechargeable batteries may overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.

RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never throw rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

■ Chemical fluids that damage the product may leak out of outdated or used rechargeable batteries. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable batteries when the product is not required for any length of time.

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES! If they come into contact with skin, leaked or damaged rechargeable batteries could cause chemical burns; you should therefore wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

- Only use rechargeable batteries of the right size and of the recommended type (see section on "Technical data").

Preparing for use

Installation

☐ Install the product in accordance with figures A - D.
☐ Make sure that the assembled product is inserted far enough into the ground (lawn, flower bed) for it to be stable.
☐ Make sure you keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not use any force when assembling or setting-up the product, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage the product.
☐ The buzzer in the product sends out sound waves for 5 seconds every 20 seconds.

● Charging the rechargeable batteries

☐ The solar panel installed in the product converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in 2 NiMH batteries.
☐ The charging time of the rechargeable batteries when the solar cell 2 is used depends on the intensity of the sunlight and the angle of incidence of the light on the solar cell 2. In order to achieve the best result, set the product up in a place where the solar cell will get direct sunlight for as long as possible. Place the solar cell 2 as perpendicular as possible to the angle of incidence of the light.

● Replacing the rechargeable batteries

☐ Replace the rechargeable batteries when you notice that the operation period of this device has considerably reduced over time, despite full exposure to solar radiation (see figure E).

● Maintenance and care

☐ Clean the product regularly with a dry, non-fluffing cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth to remove more stubborn dirt.

●Troubleshooting

Note: This appliance has delicate electronic components. This means that if it is placed near an object that transmits radio signals, it could cause interference. If you notice that the device is malfunctioning, remove any sources of interference from the area of the device.

Note: Electrostatic discharges may cause device to malfunction. In the event of such malfunctions, remove the batteries briefly and reinsert them.

●Disposal

The packaging is made entirely of recyclable materials, which you may dispose of at local recycling facilities.
