Bird-X BB-PRO Quick Start Manual

ULTRASONIC FREQUENCY SWITCH
The ultrasonic sounds play regardless of the other setting you
choose. HIGH, MED and LOW refer to the frequency of the
ultrasonic sound waves. We recommend you begin on LOW,
and then vary between the three every so often (during routine
maintenance, for example).
PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE
Recording Switches: Results:
1, 3, 5 and 6 to "ON" position Plays Sounds 1, 3, 5 & 6
Mode Switches:
1 = "OFF" position
2 = "ON" position (Medium), every 1 to 4 minutes
3 = "ON" position
4 = "OFF" position Operates during daylight hours only
5 = "ON" position In random, non-sequential order
VOLUME CONTROL
The unit has a volume control dial for the sonic (audio) sounds
on the front panel of the unit. Turning the dial toward LOW
will result in reduced sound output and rotating the dial toward
HIGH will result in an increase in sound output.
CAUTION: Take care when turning the dial since the unit may be in an
inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could then re ac ti vate at a very
high level of sound which could be painful to your ears.
POWER SWITCH
The power switch enables the unit to operate. Slide the switch
to the ON position to start the unit. If you turn the unit OFF, be
sure to leave it off for about 30 seconds before turning it back
on to allow the electronics to properly reset.

Successful Long­Term Behavior Modification
Product success takes time to build. Bird and pest habits may take several days or weeks to
break. Follow all suggestions for maximum efficacy. "Instant" tests do not replicate natural
conditions and give no indication of the unit's success with the infestation.
Prepare for Successful Critter Control
Bird-X, Inc. has been recognized worldwide as the critter and bird control x-perts for 40 years.
We have become experts through extensive experience and research. As a result, we are
happy to analyze problems and make reommendations based on each customer's specific
situation and needs. In addition, we provide the following recommendations for greatest
success, even before activating the repeller.
Remove inducements. Clean the area of all evidence of critters or birds: nests, fledglings,
droppings, dead birds, and the residential scent. Because critters, birds and their droppings can
carry many diseases, use extreme caution when removing them. Do not breathe or come into
direct contact with them. If you have questions about how to do this safely, consult an expert.
(Adults are likely to return to their young in order to protect them or to assist them in leaving the
area.) Remove food spillage, garbage, nesting material and other appealing items.
Survey the critters and/or birds to determine flight or ground path and time patterns, entries and
exits, and nesting, feeding and roosting habits. This will suggest the unit placement, speaker
direction and time of operation you should choose. Make educated guesses as to where the
birds or critters will go when they are repelled from their current infestation, and consider
additional units to cover these alternative areas.
Maintain a clean and changing environment. Periodically clean the area of nests and
droppings, relocate or reposition the unit, vary the output, or turn off the unit for a short time.
Install early, before "season" begins, as it is easier to keep pests away than to rout them out
once they have established a living pattern.
Use products synergistically. Two or more different kinds of devices (this repeller plus a
visual scare product and/or a roost inhibiting device) will produce a synergistic effect -- i.e., in
combination, the products will yield much greater effectiveness than the one alone. Contact us
for information on "companion" products.
CAUTION: Bird droppings are unhealthy - even potentially fatal. At
least sixty transmissible diseases have been associated with birds
and exposure to their excrement. Prior to cleaning up any type of
droppings, it is important to take all necessary protective measures,
including but not limited to protective respiration devices, gloves,
clothing and safety eyewear. Your health and safety are important:
please seek professional advice and information appropriate to your
situation. Never clean up or risk other exposure to droppings without
using protection. Do not ask others to enter or clean up potentially
hazardous areas without ensuring that they are similarly protected.
Limited Warranty
This BB-PRO unit is warranted against defects in material
and workmanship for six months from date of purchase
(extended warranty available). Bird-X will replace or
repair, provided defect occurs under normal use. Returns
accepted only with authorization from our Chicago office.

Prior to operation, route the speakers and power
cables from their respective jacks on the control panel
down through the slotted rubber grommet in the lower
part of the enclosure, as shown in Fig. 1.
IM POR TANT: Be certain that the
power switch is in the OFF po si­
tion and the audio volume control
is set to the minimum (LOW) audio
vol ume level ( coun ter clock wise) as
shown in Fig. 2 while plugging the
speaker and power cords into the
control unit.
HOW IT WORKS
Sonic and ultrasonic sounds sequence through all
four speakers. Sonic sounds play according to the
programming options you choose. Ultrasonic sounds
are always active – day and night – regardless of
programming, however they won't play during the
sonic sounds.
INSTALLATION
Important safety­related information:
a) Do not install the device during rain or snow conditions.
b) Installation shall be made in such a way that a power
supply and the internal part of the control unit never be
subjected to water or snow.
c) Note that a power supply powered from 230 VAC is
intended for indoor use only.
1) Use the mounting hardware (included) to mount the control
unit box to a wall, post or other vertical surface.
