Summary of Contents for JOLT Yard Sentinel

  • Page 1 OWNER’S MANU...
  • Page 2 Please read the Manual before using the product. This manual will provide you, the user, with directions for the safe and effi- cient operation of the Yard Sentinel™. Before you plug in your unit, it is important to understand sonic and ultrasonic signals.

  • Page 3: How It Works

    HOW IT WORKS The Yard Sentinel™ uses ultrasonic tech- nology as well as a sonic alarm to repel pests from your yard. The device is safe for humans and pets, and won’t even harm the pests you want to repel.

  • Page 4: Safety And Maintenance

    Continuous Sweep • Infrared Motion Sensor: Detects pests in range and activates device • Operating Time: Select Day, Night or 24 HR SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE 1. Do not restrict airflow around the unit. Do not position behind furniture or curtains. For best effect, position in open areas 2.
  • Page 5 insulation. Do not use the device in case of defects or serious damage 9. Do not connect any power sources to 4C size battery holder except C size batteries, or it may damage the unit SETUP You have two options to get your de- vice started.
  • Page 6 GUIDELINES 1. With batteries, set the Ultrasonic switch to Motion Sensor. Doing so will considerably prolong the battery life. Set the Motion Sensor Sensitivity to 20-25 for smaller animals (squirrels, mice, birds) and 15-20 for larger animals (dogs, raccoons, deer) 2.
  • Page 7 PLACEMENT It’s important to place the device where it will be most effective between 4 inches and 16 inches from the ground depending on the animal you want to repel and facing the area where they most like to frequent. Don’t place it on the ground as this will limit the effective range of the device.
  • Page 8 Ultrasonic: The primary feature of your device is the ultrasonic signal. This is a high pres- sure sound that is only slightly audible to humans. However, it is very effective at startling and scaring away unwanted pests. Using a variable pulse generator, the ultrasonic emits a range of fluctuating sound waves to prevent the pest from becoming accustomed to the sound.
  • Page 9 Choose a range that best reflects the type of animal you are trying to repel. Insects and large animals are repelled by lower frequencies (counter-clockwise). Rodents are repelled by higher frequencies (clock- wise) Ultrasonic signals travel in a forward direction. You will need to point the device towards the area where you are having the pest problem.
  • Page 10 Frequency Dial: You will see several types of pests listed around the Frequency dial and the ranges of frequencies that are ideal for repelling them. You can turn this dial to the setting that best suits your needs. If you are trying to repel more than one type of pest, set it somewhere within the ranges of each of them.
  • Page 11 Modes: The Yard Sentinel™ has three different modes. Try all three to see what works best on the animal you are trying to repel Motion Sensor: The Motion Sensor will activate the ultrasonic and sonic sounds when it detects pests within its range...
  • Page 12 Sensitivity Dial: The Sensitivity dial adjusts the distance at which the device’s motion sensor will work Sonic: In addition to the inaudible ultrasonic signal, your device is equipped with a sonic signal. This helps to scare off any people or pests lurking around your property or large animals such as bears, coyotes, racoons, skunks and birds.
  • Page 13 Infrared Motion Sensor: Your device can be set to activate only when animals come into range. Set the mode switch to “Motion Sensor” to select this feature. When an animal or human enters the range of the device within 45 ft (14 m), a red light will go on and the device will activate both the ultrasonic and sonic.
  • Page 14 Operating Time feature OPERATING YARD SENTINEL Using the A/C Adapter: Remove the back cover of the unit by gently pulling it off. Plug one end of the A/C adapter into the 9 volt D/C jack located beside the frequency dial.

  • Page 16 pet is used to living comfortably in your home. He may be annoyed by the sound, but he may not be deterred from the room. As far as he is concerned your home is his proper place. An outdoor animal on the other hand is sensitive to noise and alert to danger.
