1. Introduction
The GLB Green Level Berlin Ultrasonic Bird Repeller is an electronic device designed to deter birds, such as pigeons and gulls, from unwanted areas. It is ideal for use on balconies, terraces, roofs, trees, branches, and boats, preventing birds from perching and nesting. This device operates by emitting ultrasonic waves that are unpleasant for birds but generally imperceptible to humans.
2. Product Overview
The repeller utilizes ultrasonic technology to create an uncomfortable environment for birds. Birds possess a hearing range that allows them to detect frequencies beyond human perception. The device emits varying ultrasonic frequencies to prevent birds from becoming accustomed to a single sound pattern. Over time, birds will associate the protected area with discomfort and seek alternative locations.

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Battery Installation
The device operates on 3 rechargeable batteries, which are included. Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted according to the polarity markings inside the battery compartment. The battery compartment is typically located on the back or bottom of the device.
3.2 Placement Recommendations
Proper placement is crucial for the effectiveness of the ultrasonic repeller. Consider the following guidelines:
- Clear Path: Do not use the device if there are obstacles such as walls, windows, thick branches, trunks, or dense vegetation between the repeller and the area to be protected. Ultrasonic waves do not penetrate solid objects and their effectiveness will be significantly reduced.
- Proximity to Birds: Ensure the device is placed close to where birds are active. If birds are too far from the unit, its effectiveness will be limited.
- Remove Nests: Any existing bird nests must be removed from the area before activating the repeller.
- Clean Area: Before deployment, thoroughly clean the area with plenty of water to remove any bird pheromones. This helps prevent birds from re-marking the territory.
- Mounting Options: The device can be hung or tied using a cable, tape, or nails. It features a mounting hole for easy installation.

4. Operation
The GLB Green Level Berlin Ultrasonic Bird Repeller operates continuously without a motion sensor. It cycles through varying ultrasonic frequencies to maximize its deterrent effect and prevent birds from adapting to a single frequency.
4.1 Operating Cycles
The device employs different cycles of ultrasonic emission and standby periods:
- 4 seconds of 18 KhZ - 32 Khz frequency, followed by 20 seconds in standby.
- 5 seconds of 18 KhZ - 32 Khz frequency, followed by 35 seconds in standby.
- 3 seconds of 18 KhZ - 32 Khz frequency, followed by 50 seconds in standby.
These varied cycles ensure that birds do not habituate to the ultrasonic emissions, maintaining the repeller's effectiveness over time. An LED indicator on the device provides visual confirmation of operation.

5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your GLB Green Level Berlin Ultrasonic Bird Repeller, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Care: As the device uses rechargeable batteries, ensure they are charged as needed. If the device is stored for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Obstacle Clearance: Regularly check the area around the repeller to ensure no new obstacles (e.g., growing vegetation, stored items) are blocking the ultrasonic waves.
