The unit can also be placed directly on a flat surface without stakes or hanging. Ensure it is stable and the solar panel has access to sunlight if using automatic mode.
4. Operating Modes
The bug zapper features a power switch with three operating modes:

- OFF: The unit is powered off.
- ON: The insect-killing light is continuously on, regardless of light conditions.
For optimal mosquito-killing effectiveness, minimize surrounding light during use, especially in automatic mode at night.
