Setup
- Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the repellent and its remote control from the packaging.

Modes of Operation
- Test Mode (Yellow Light): This mode emits an audible sound, allowing users to verify that the ultrasonic function is working. This sound is typically within the human hearing range.
- Trans Mode (Blue Light): In this mode, the device emits ultra-strong ultrasound at a fixed frequency of 25 kHz. This frequency is generally effective against a range of pests.
- Ultra Mode (Green Light): This mode utilizes variable ultrasound frequencies ranging from 22-35 kHz. The varying frequency helps prevent pests from becoming accustomed to the sound.
- DUO Mode (Red Light): This mode combines both Trans Mode and Ultra Mode, operating both fixed and variable ultrasonic frequencies simultaneously for maximum deterrence.
Placement Guidelines
Proper placement is crucial for the effectiveness of the ultrasonic repellent. The device provides 360-degree coverage up to 1200 sq ft.
- Clear Path: Ensure the ultrasonic waves have a clear path. Walls, furniture, and other solid objects can block or absorb ultrasonic waves, reducing their effectiveness.
- Optimal Height: Plug the device into an outlet that is 30-120 cm (12-47 inches) from the floor.
- Avoid Soft Surfaces: Do not place the device behind curtains, carpets, or other soft materials, as these can absorb the ultrasonic waves.
- Multiple Units: For larger areas or rooms with many obstructions, consider using multiple units to ensure complete coverage.

Expected Results Timeline:
The effectiveness of the repellent may not be immediate. Consistent use is required for optimal results.
- 1-2 Weeks: Initial ultrasonic destruction begins, and pests may show signs of discomfort.
- 3 Weeks: The pest's nervous system is significantly affected, leading to increased activity as they seek to escape.
- 4 Weeks and Beyond: Pests gradually escape the treated area, and the population decreases. Continued use helps prevent their return.

Maintenance
The X-PEST Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- Avoid Liquids: Do not use water, cleaning sprays, or chemical solvents directly on the device.
- Keep Vents Clear: Ensure that the ultrasonic emitters and any ventilation openings are not blocked by dust or debris.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on. | No power to the outlet; device not properly plugged in. | Check the power outlet with another appliance. Ensure the repellent is firmly plugged into a working outlet. |
| No apparent effect on pests after initial setup. | Insufficient time for effect; improper placement; wrong mode selected. | Allow 3-4 weeks for full effectiveness. Review placement guidelines to ensure optimal coverage. Try switching to DUO Mode for maximum deterrence. |
| Pests seem to increase initially. | This is a normal reaction as pests are disturbed and seek new hiding places. | Maintain continuous operation. This behavior indicates the device is working. Pests should eventually leave the area. |
| Indicator light is off. | Device is off or in a mode without a continuous light. | Check if the device is plugged in. Use the remote control to select a mode and observe if the corresponding light illuminates. |
