Frequently Asked Questions - 60091 Gardigo

How to install the Gardigo 60091 solar scarer?

Drive the two parts of the ground spike into the ground, then insert the device onto the spike. Place it in an open area for maximum solar exposure. Make sure no obstacles block the 110° PIR detection field.

What type of batteries to use?

Use only rechargeable AA batteries (1.2 V, 300 mAh). Do not use regular alkaline batteries, as they may cause explosion and damage the device.

How to recharge the batteries?

The batteries recharge automatically via the built-in solar panel. In summer, direct sunlight exposure is sufficient. In winter or under cover, recharge with a mains adapter (5.5 V DC, 300 mA) once a week.

What is the range of the device?

The PIR motion detector has a range of approximately 8 meters and a detection angle of 110°. The coverage area is approximately 61 m².

How does motion detection work?

The PIR sensor detects movements in its field. When a bird is detected, the device emits predator cries and activates the flash LEDs at night. Regular frequency changes prevent habituation.

Can I use the device indoors?

Yes, the device is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, make sure to place it near a window so the solar panel receives light, or use the mains adapter.

What if the device does not work at night?

Check the switch: it should be set to DAY/NIGHT for day and night operation. In night mode, the LED flashes activate. Make sure the batteries are charged and the PIR sensor is not obstructed.

How to clean the device?

Clean the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or solvents. Avoid directing a water jet directly at the device despite the IP44 rating.

Can I change the predator sounds?

Yes, use the predator sound control button to select between gunshot, dog bark, or eagle cry. Adjust the volume with the corresponding wheel.

What to do if there is a battery problem?

If the batteries do not hold a charge, check that they are rechargeable and not defective. Replace them with new batteries of the same type. If the problem persists, contact customer service at [e-mail].

5. Getting started

It is basically not necessary to charge the batteries externally. The batteries are sufficiently charged by the solar cell in summer when it is exposed to direct sunlight. If you use the deterrent as a preventive measure in February, it is advisable to charge the device manually once a week with a charger due to the short days and reduced

sun exposure. If you use the device under the carport or an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight, you can also charge the device permanently with a charger.

Operation:

The Solar Scarecrow detects the movements of the birds within an angle of 110^ and uses two effects to make life uncomfortable for the birds: variable sound and a LED flash. Sound and flash are activated by the motion detector.

• Open the battery compartment and insert the rechargeable batteries. Make sure they are put in with the correct polarity.
• There are 3 switches in the compartment: DAY/NIGHT/OFF and EAGLE/DOG/GUN-SHOT as well as a volume control.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch to DAY or NIGHT to activate the device.
• Then select the desired sound by setting the EAGLE/DOG/GUNSHOT switch.
• Adjust the volume by turning the volume control.

The following operation settings are possible:

	Daytime use Nighttime use
Switch	day night	day night
LED flash	✗ √ ✗ √
Sound	√ √ √ ✗

You may choose of three enemy sounds: Gunshot, Dog, Eagle

Ground spike: Assemble the earth spike together and place it into the socket on the underside of the device. You can now mount the device in the lawn or flower bed.
