5. Operating Instructions

Once activated, the OWLTRA Electric Mouse Trap uses dual infrared sensors to detect when a rodent enters the chamber and reaches the bait. Upon detection, the trap delivers a high-voltage shock (6,000-9,000V) for instant and humane elimination.

Indicator Lights:

• Green Light: A solid green light indicates a rodent has been successfully captured.
• Red Light: A solid red light indicates low battery and that the batteries need to be replaced.
