Setting up your new repeller in 2 easy steps:
1. Insert the 4 x AA rechargeable batteries
into the back of the unit. Cover with the
black plate and fix into place with the 4
back plate screws. (You'll need a Philips
screwdriver).
2. Insert the stake into the bottom of the
repeller. Place the nuts in the nut-shaped
spaces at where the stake meets the unit.
Attach the bolts and tighten.
The Settings:
Frequency
The frequency setting is what sets this unit apart
from other devices. Cats, like humans are all
different and their hearing spectrums differ from
animal to animal. This setting couples up with the
intense frequency pattern to allow you to fine tune
the device to the specific cat giving you trouble. If
you find the cat is unaffected by the device initially,
you can alter this setting bit by bit until you hit the
frequency level that resonates most with the cat.
You should find once you've got the right setting,
the cat will disappear. For more on animal
behavior, see additional information.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity setting allows you to get a control
over the amount of times your unit activates.
Depending on the size of your garden, you might
not want the device to detect up to the full 6-7
meters. You can reduce sensitivity to reduce the
field of detection / amount of movement needed to
set the device off. Reducing to the lowest setting
prevents the unit from activating at all.
WHERE TO PLACE THE DEVICE
1. Ultrasonic waves travel in straight lines.
Think of it as 'line of sight'. Solid objects
significantly impact on the soundwaves as
they cannot pass through physical objects.
For best placement, try to have the device
pointing to where the animals enter your
garden, or at least very commonly trodden
areas.
2. When positioning the unit in the ground,
carefully fix the ground spike/stake to the
unit and gently push the unit into the
ground at the place that seems most
favorable. You can always try different
locations until you find what works best for
your garden.
3. When selecting the installation location,
please choose suitable terrain to ensure
any part of the unit won't become
submerged during periods of heavy rain
and that the unit isn't obstructed.
It's important to maximize the solar power
4.
the device harnesses. To do so, avoid
aiming the unit at areas of regular
movement (such as a public footpath).
SPECIFICATIONS
1. Solar Powered
2. Sweeping frequency from 10-50KHz
3. Infrared sensor angle: 80 degrees
4. Detection range: 6-7 meters depending on
animal size.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The ultrasonic needs to be quite powerful to work
efficiently; it may well affect very young children and
babies as the bones in their ears haven't hardened
off or fully developed. If you have concerns about
babies or very young children, we suggest turning
the sensitivity setting to the lowest setting
(effectively turning the unit off) whilst they're out in
the garden.
You may find that the cat does not seem bothered
by the repeller during the first few days or even
weeks of use. This is usually because the cat has
become used to its behavioral pattern of visiting the
area and will take some convincing to change.
However given time you should find that the repeller
is too unbearable for the cat and it will stop visiting.
This is why we ask you use the device for 30 days
in order for our Effectiveness guarantee (see below)
to be valid.
