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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
