- Do not insert foreign objects into the zapper grid.
- Do not use near flammable liquids or gases.
- Unplug the device before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Do not immerse the unit in water. While IPX6 waterproof, it is not designed for submersion.

Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Endbug Bug Zapper:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the bug zapper and all accessories from the packaging.
- Placement:
- For optimal performance, place the zapper in a dark area away from other light sources.
- Hang the zapper using the integrated hook, ensuring it is at a height of 5-7 feet from the ground for best insect attraction.
- Position it at least 20-30 feet away from human activity areas to draw insects away from people.
- Power Connection: Plug the 5ft (1.5m) power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
The Endbug Bug Zapper features a 2-in-1 design for insect control and illumination.
- Activating the Zapper: Once plugged in, the 365nm purple UV light will automatically turn on, attracting mosquitoes, gnats, Aedes, flies, moths, and other phototaxis insects to the 4200V high-voltage grid.
- Using the LED Light: The bottom of the zapper features an integrated LED white light. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the top of the unit to control this light independently. This feature is ideal for illuminating dark areas at night.
