Operating Instructions
The QueenMew Anti-Barking Device features a power/frequency switch to select the appropriate mode for your dog.
- Turn On the Device: Rotate the Power Frequency Switch (2) from "OFF" to your desired mode (1, 2, or 3). The LED light (4) will illuminate briefly to indicate it's active.
- Select the Appropriate Frequency Mode: Refer to the table below and the product diagram to choose the best setting for your dog's size and temperament.
Image: Visual guide illustrating recommended ultrasonic frequencies for different dog types: 15-30KHz for large/naughty dogs, 20KHz for docile dogs, and 30KHz for small dogs.
- Mode 1 (15KHz~30KHz): Ideal for large or particularly stubborn/naughty dogs. This wider frequency range can be more effective for dogs that are less responsive to higher frequencies.
- Mode 2 (20KHz): Suitable for docile or medium-sized dogs. This is a common effective frequency for general bark control.
- Mode 3 (30KHz): Best for small dogs. Higher frequencies are often more perceptible to smaller breeds.
- Automatic Operation: Once the device is turned on and a mode is selected, it will automatically detect dog barking within its range. Upon detection, it emits a high-pitched ultrasonic sound that is unpleasant to dogs, encouraging them to stop barking. The sound is generally inaudible to humans.
