Setup and Operation Video

Operating Instructions

Once set up and powered on, the trap is ready to operate. The one-way design allows rodents to enter but prevents escape. When a rodent makes contact with the metal plates, it receives an 1800V high-voltage shock, humanely and instantly eliminating it.

Indicator Light Meanings

The indicator light provides visual feedback on the trap's status:

• Green Light: Indicates the trap is charging. The light will turn off when fully charged.
• Red Light: Indicates the high voltage mechanism is active and working.
• Yellow Light: Signals that the battery is low and requires recharging.
• Blue Light: Illuminates when a rodent has been captured.

Recharging the Battery

The built-in 1800mAh battery allows for approximately 20 shocks per full charge. When the yellow indicator light appears, recharge the trap using the provided USB cable. Connect the cable to the charging port and a suitable USB power source. The green light will indicate charging and turn off when complete.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iMounTEK Electric Rat Trap, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Trap Not Activating / No Capture:
  • Ensure the trap is powered on and the red indicator light is active.
  • Check bait freshness and type. Rodents can be particular.
  • Verify trap placement. Rodents often travel along walls; place the trap accordingly.
  • Confirm the battery is charged (no yellow light).
• Battery Not Holding Charge:
  • Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the trap and the power source.
  • Try a different USB power adapter or port.
  • If the issue persists after multiple recharges, the battery may be at the end of its lifespan.
• Indicator Light Malfunction:
  • If the indicator light behaves erratically or does not illuminate, ensure the trap is charged and powered on.
  • If using the extension cable, ensure it is properly connected.
• Trap Beeps Continuously Without Capture:
  • This may indicate a sensor issue or a partial short circuit. Turn off the trap, clean it thoroughly, and ensure no debris is on the metal plates.
  • If the problem continues, contact customer support.
