Product Overview

The Buzbug MA-015B LED Bug Zapper is designed for effective indoor insect control. It features dual-color LED lights (365nm and 395nm wavelengths) to enhance insect attraction by up to 30%. The device utilizes high-efficiency, energy-saving 5W LED tubes with a lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours, attracting and eliminating mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and moths with high-voltage electricity.

This bug zapper offers wide coverage, effectively protecting areas up to 2,100 sq. ft. Its subtle and smart appearance, featuring a detachable PU leather handle, allows for versatile placement or suspension, blending seamlessly into various indoor environments.

Setup

Placement

  • Place the bug zapper in areas where insects are prevalent, such as living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, balconies, or gardens. It is also suitable for offices, cafes, and bakeries.
  • For optimal performance, operate the device at night or in dim lighting conditions, as insects are more attracted to the light in darker environments.
  • The device is not waterproof. Ensure it is placed in a dry location and protected from moisture.
  • The detachable PU leather handle allows for easy placement on a flat surface or hanging.

Initial Power-On

  1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
  2. Locate the power switch on the right side of the zapper.
  3. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position. The LED lights will illuminate, indicating the device is active.

Operating Instructions

How It Works

The Buzbug MA-015B attracts insects using its dual-color LED lights. Once insects are drawn to the light, they come into contact with the high-voltage internal grid, which physically eliminates them. The device operates silently until an insect is zapped.

Enhancing Effectiveness

  • For flies, placing a small amount of sugar or a bowl of sugar water near the product can improve attraction and catch rates.
  • Ensure the area around the zapper is as dark as possible to maximize the attraction of insects to the device's lights.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Insect Collection Tray

  1. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the bug zapper from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
  2. Locate the slide-out insect collection tray at the bottom of the device.
  3. Gently pull the tray out.
  4. Empty the collected insects into a waste bin.
  5. The tray is washable; clean it with water and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly before reinserting.
  6. Slide the clean tray back into the device until it clicks securely into place.

Cleaning the High-Voltage Grid

  1. Ensure the device is turned off and unplugged. Wait at least 10 minutes for the internal grid to discharge completely.
  2. Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle (or the provided small brush) to carefully touch the inner high-voltage grid for 30 seconds to ensure it is fully discharged.
  3. Press both the left and right sides of the outer protective mesh to release it, then gently remove the mesh.
  4. Use the provided small brush to gently remove any stuck insect debris from the internal grid.
  5. Reattach the protective mesh by aligning it and pressing until it clicks into place.

LED Lamp Tube Replacement

The LED lamp tubes have a long lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours. If replacement becomes necessary, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the device is turned off and unplugged, and the grid is discharged as described above.
  2. Remove the back side of the unit to access the LED lamp tubes.
  3. Carefully rotate the tube until its base meets the slots of the tube holders, then take it out.
  4. Insert the new LED tube, ensuring it is securely connected and rotated to lock into place.
  5. Reattach the back side of the unit.

Troubleshooting

  • Device Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Ineffective Insect Attraction: Verify the device is operating in dim lighting conditions. Consider adding sugar water for flies to enhance attraction.
  • Insects Zapped but Not Falling: This may indicate debris buildup on the grid. Follow the cleaning instructions for the high-voltage grid to ensure optimal performance.
