- Open the Sliding Cover: Gently slide open the top cover of the zapper to access the bait compartment.
- Place the Bait: Locate the bait cup at the rear of the zapper. Place a small amount of bait (e.g., peanut butter, nuts, chocolate spread, or pet food) into the cup. Ensure the bait is placed deep inside to encourage the rodent to fully enter the trap. Avoid placing bait on the metal plates.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Zapper not turning on / No LED light | Batteries are dead or not inserted correctly. Unit is not charged. | Check battery orientation. Replace or recharge batteries. Ensure power adapter is connected if using AC power. |
| Rodents are not entering the trap | Incorrect bait. Trap placement is not optimal. Rodents are wary. | Try different baits (e.g., peanut butter, nuts). Relocate the trap to an area with high rodent activity, along walls. Ensure the trap is clean and free of human scent. |
| Rodents are entering but not being zapped | Bait placed too close to the entrance. Metal plates are dirty. | Ensure bait is placed deep inside the bait cup, encouraging the rodent to step fully onto the metal plates. Clean the metal plates carefully (with power OFF). |
| LED indicator not working correctly | Faulty LED or low battery. | Replace or recharge batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
