INSTALLING THE BLACK FLAG MOSQUITO OCTENOL LURE

You will find a Mosquito octenol lure included with the Bug Zapper Unit. Remove the lure clip from the pouch. Attach clip to outer grid of the zapper, any position on zapper grid is good. Zapper effectiveness is increased by luring mosquitoes and biting flies to it. Replace lure clip after every 30 days for best results. The universal fit mosquito octenol lure clip will fit on most Bug Zapper brands. To remove the clip simply push up the 2 prongs against the top of the grid and pull out.

CHANGING BULBS

Use replacement bulbs. These bulbs should be replaced annually to maintain optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb's light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time. If the bulb fails to light or the color of the light changes to yellow or orange it is time to replace the bulb.

1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Turn unit upside down, open the bulb base by pushing the latch towards the center of the unit and lifting the base up, remove old bulb.
3. Insert the new bulb making sure it is properly seated in the socket.
4. Close the bulb base by snapping it back into place.
5. Place unit back into the hanging position and plug back into the outlet.

Note: If unit fails to light after replacing bulb, take unit down and remove the bulb and reseat 4 prongs of bulb into socket.

CLEANING

As the unit kills insects, most of the insect remains will be vaporized or fall down through the unit. Some remains may be left on the grids and over time may reduce the effectiveness of this device. Make sure to regularly clean your unit to achieve maximum effectiveness. The time in between each cleaning will vary depending on your insect populations. Check your unit frequently and clean any insect remains you see.
