5. Setup and Installation
The ISOTRONIC Solar Animal Repellent offers flexible installation options:
5.1 Ground Installation
- Assemble the ground stake by connecting the sections.

6. Operating Instructions
The repellent unit features two adjustable dials and multiple operating modes:
- Sensitivity Dial (Left): Adjusts the detection range of the PIR motion sensor. Turn clockwise for higher sensitivity and wider detection range.
- Mode Dial (Right): Selects the operating mode and ultrasonic frequency.
Operating Modes:
- Mode 1: Ultrasonic frequency 13.5 - 20 kHz with flame light. Effective for small animals like mice, rats.
- Mode 2: Ultrasonic frequency 15.5 - 25 kHz with flame light. Effective for medium-sized animals like cats, dogs, martens.
- Mode 3: Ultrasonic frequency 25 - 45 kHz with flame light. Effective for larger animals like deer, wild boars, foxes.
- Mode 4: Flame light only. No ultrasonic sound. Activates at dusk.
- Mode 5: Cycles through Modes 1, 2, and 3 with flame light. Provides comprehensive deterrence for various animals.
To activate the device, turn the mode dial to your desired setting. The flame light will automatically activate at dusk when motion is detected (except in Mode 4 where it's always on at dusk).

7. Maintenance
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
- Battery Charging: The device primarily charges via its solar panel. If prolonged cloudy weather or insufficient sunlight occurs, you can use the provided USB cable to charge the internal AA batteries. Connect the USB cable to the charging port on the unit and a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
- Seasonal Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and stored in a dry place.
