Product Features
- Ultrasonic and Blue Flash Deterrence: Emits ultrasonic waves (12-24kHz) and blue LED flashes that activate at night to create an unpleasant environment for wild animals and pests.
- Vehicle-Compatible with Vibration Sensor: Equipped with a vibration sensor for vehicle use. When installed in a car, it automatically turns off when engine vibration is detected, operating only when the vehicle is parked. This is suitable for deterring pests around parked vehicles.
- Battery-Operated and Easy Installation: Powered by 6 AAA batteries, requiring no wiring or external power. Can be installed in various locations such as gardens, parking lots, barns, or around vehicles using cable ties or screws.
- Habituation Prevention: Features changing frequencies to prevent animals from becoming accustomed to the ultrasonic sound.
- IP54 Water Resistance: Designed to withstand normal rain conditions.

Setup and Installation
- Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment and insert 6 AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Power On/Off: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the device and set it to the "ON" position to activate the repeller.
- Placement Considerations:
- Direct the speaker towards the area where animals are to be deterred.
- Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g., thick walls, dense foliage, glass) directly in front of the speaker, as these can reduce the effective range.
- For outdoor use, the effective linear distance is approximately 4-5 meters. Indoors, the effective area is up to 40m².
- Avoid submerging the device in water, especially during heavy rain or snow, despite its IP54 water resistance.
- Mounting: Use the provided cable ties or screws to secure the device in the desired location. The device has hanging holes for easy mounting.

Operating Instructions
- Once powered on, the device will begin emitting ultrasonic waves.
- The blue LED flash will activate automatically during nighttime hours.
- Vehicle Mode: If installed in a vehicle, the built-in vibration sensor will detect engine operation and temporarily pause the repeller. It will resume operation once the engine is turned off and no vibration is detected.
- Effectiveness Period: It may take 2 to 3 weeks to observe the full effectiveness of the repeller, as animals need time to find the environment uncomfortable and relocate. Consistent placement is key.

Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace all 6 AAA batteries when the device's performance diminishes or stops. Battery life is approximately 6-12 months depending on usage.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
- Inspection: Periodically check the device for any physical damage or obstructions to the speaker.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not turning on | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. Check if the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. |
| Reduced effectiveness | Obstructions blocking the ultrasonic waves; animals have become habituated; incorrect placement. | Reposition the device to an unobstructed area, directing the speaker towards the target area. Allow 2-3 weeks for full effect. |
| Blue LED not flashing at night | Insufficient darkness; device malfunction. | Ensure the device is in a sufficiently dark environment. If the issue persists after checking batteries, contact customer support. |
| Device stops in car | Engine vibration detected. | This is normal operation. The device is designed to pause when the engine is running and resume when parked. |
