4. Setup Instructions

1. Open the Sliding Cover: Gently slide open the top cover of the zapper to access the bait compartment.
2. 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.

3. Charge Batteries (if needed): If the unit is battery-powered, ensure the rechargeable batteries are fully charged. Connect the charger to the charging port if necessary.
4. Close the Cover: Securely close the sliding cover.
5. Position the Trap: Place the zapper on a flat surface against a wall in an area where rodent activity has been observed. Rodents tend to travel along walls.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Turn On the Zapper: Flip the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The LED indicator will typically light up briefly (e.g., blue) to show it's active and ready.
