4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Ebung Electric Rodent Zapper for use:

1. Separate the Unit: Gently separate the upper and lower parts of the trap. This action automatically disengages the circuit for safety.
2. Apply Bait: Place a small amount of bait (e.g., peanut butter, seeds, cereals) into the designated bait cup located at the back of the trap. Use a cotton swab or toothpick to avoid leaving human scent.
3. Reassemble the Unit: Carefully reattach the upper part to the lower part, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
4. Choose Power Source:
   • AC Power: Connect the provided AC adapter to the trap's adapter interface and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
   • Battery Power: Insert 4 'D' type batteries (not included) into the battery compartment located on the underside of the trap. Ensure correct polarity.
5. Position the Trap: Place the trap on a flat surface in an area where rodent activity has been observed. For best results, position it along a wall with the entrance hole facing the wall.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the trap is set up and powered, it is ready to operate.

1. Activate the Trap: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the unit. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position. A green indicator light on the top of the trap will illuminate briefly, indicating it is active.
2. Placement: Place the trap in areas of known rodent activity, such as basements, attics, kitchens, or garages. Ensure it is placed away from areas accessible to children and pets. The trap is suitable for various indoor environments including homes, restaurants, food factories, and storage facilities.
3. Rodent Detection: The intelligent wireless circuit sensor detects when a rodent enters the trap and makes contact with the metal plates, delivering a 7000V electrical shock.
4. Kill Indicator: After a successful kill, the green indicator light on the top of the trap will blink, signaling that a rodent has been caught and needs to be disposed of. Some models may also feature an external LED on an extension cable for easier notification in hard-to-reach areas.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

1. Disposal: When the kill indicator light blinks, indicating a catch, turn off the device and disconnect the power source. To dispose of the rodent, simply lift the lid of the trap and empty the remains into a dustbin. This design allows for no-touch disposal.
2. Cleaning: After disposal, the trap can be cleaned. Ensure the device is OFF and unplugged. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals. Allow the trap to dry completely before re-baiting and reactivating.
3. Re-baiting: Re-apply fresh bait as needed for continued effectiveness.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Ebung Electric Rodent Zapper, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Trap Not Activating/No Indicator Light:
  • Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • If using AC power, check that the adapter is securely plugged into both the trap and a working electrical outlet.
  • If using battery power, ensure batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity and are not depleted. Replace old batteries with new ones.
• Rodents Taking Bait But Not Zapped:
  • Verify that the trap is powered on and the indicator light is active.
  • Ensure the bait is placed deep enough within the bait cup so the rodent must fully enter the trap and contact the metal plates.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the rodent from reaching the metal plates.
• Rodents Avoiding the Trap:
  • Relocate the trap to a different area where rodent activity is high, preferably along walls.
  • Ensure no human scent is left on the trap by handling it with gloves during setup and baiting.
  • Try different types of bait to determine what is most attractive to the rodents in your area.
