8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; faulty outlet; damaged bulb. | Ensure plug is fully inserted. Turn power switch ON. Test outlet with another device. Check if bulbs are securely seated or need replacement. |
| Insects are not being zapped. | Grid is dirty; bulbs are old/ineffective; device placed incorrectly. | Clean the electrified grid with the brush. Replace UV bulbs if they are dim or old. Relocate the device to an area with higher insect activity and less competing light. |
| Loud popping sound. | Normal operation when an insect is zapped. | This is normal. If the sound is continuous without insects, unplug and inspect for debris on the grid. |
