Safety Information
- Keep the device out of reach of children and pets. While the ultrasonic sound is generally harmless to humans and common pets, direct exposure at close range should be avoided.
- Do not open the device casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
- This device is designed for indoor and protected outdoor use (e.g., engine compartment, attic, cellar, garage). Avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather conditions.

Setup and Installation
- Battery Insertion: Open the battery compartment. Insert 6 AAA batteries (included in the package) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Placement: Choose a suitable location for the device. For vehicles, place it in the engine compartment where martens are likely to enter or cause damage. For attics, cellars, or garages, position it in an area with clear line of sight to cover the desired range. The ultrasonic waves can be transmitted up to 40 m² in enclosed spaces.
- Mounting: Use the provided cable ties or screws to secure the device. Ensure it is firmly attached and not prone to falling or shifting.
- Activation: Turn on the device using the integrated ON/OFF switch. A small LED light will indicate operation.

Operating Instructions
- Automatic Operation: The device features an automatic stop function. When installed in a vehicle, it automatically activates approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle stops. It deactivates in case of vibrations generated by the engine or during driving. This conserves battery life and ensures protection when the vehicle is parked.
- Continuous Deterrence: The device emits ultrasonic waves at a frequency of 23 kHz, which is unpleasant for martens and other pests, effectively deterring them from the protected area. This effect is durable and does not require traps or baits.
- Manual Switch: An integrated ON/OFF switch allows you to manually turn off the device. This is useful for maintenance work in the engine compartment or when the device is not needed for a period.

Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: When the LED indicator light dims or the device stops emitting sound, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace all 6 AAA batteries at once.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no moisture enters the device.
- Inspection: Periodically check the device and its mounting for any signs of damage or loose connections, especially if installed in a vehicle engine compartment.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
