Setup

Battery Installation

The Zomma Handheld Dog Repellent requires one 9V Alkaline battery (not included). To install the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Slide the cover downwards to open the compartment.
3. Insert a new 9V Alkaline battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
4. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it clicks securely.

Operating Instructions

The device features an 'ON' button and a three-position slide switch for 'Light', 'Train', and 'Chaser' modes.

Modes of Operation

• Light Mode: Slide the switch to 'Light'. Press the 'ON' button to activate the built-in flashlight. Release the button to turn off the light.
• Train Mode: Slide the switch to 'Train'. This mode emits a high-frequency ultrasonic sound for training purposes.
• Chaser Mode: Slide the switch to 'Chaser'. This mode also emits a high-frequency ultrasonic sound, similar to 'Train' mode, intended for deterring unwanted animal approaches.

Using the Pet Trainer for Behavior Correction

To effectively use the device for training and behavior correction:

1. Point the device directly at the dog or cat, holding it with an outstretched arm. The effective range is approximately 6 to 20 feet.
2. Give a clear verbal command (e.g., "No!", "Quiet!").
3. Immediately after the verbal command, press the 'ON' button for one to two seconds while the switch is set to 'Train' or 'Chaser'.
4. Repeat these steps consistently until your pet responds to your commands and corrects the undesirable behavior. Consistency is key for effective training.

Note: The ultrasonic sound is designed to be silent to humans but audible and attention-grabbing for dogs and cats.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Zomma Handheld Dog Repellent:

• Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Functioning / No Ultrasonic Sound

• Check Battery: Ensure a fresh 9V Alkaline battery is correctly installed. Low battery power can affect the device's performance.
• Mode Selection: Verify that the slide switch is set to either 'Train' or 'Chaser' mode when attempting to emit ultrasonic sound.
• Button Press: Confirm that the 'ON' button is being pressed firmly and held for the recommended duration (1-2 seconds).

Dog Not Responding

• Consistency: Ensure consistent application of the verbal command followed immediately by activating the device. Dogs learn through repetition and association.
• Distance: Confirm you are within the effective range of 6-20 feet.
• Training: Some dogs may require more time and patience to respond. Continue with consistent training sessions. If issues persist, consider consulting a professional dog trainer.
