3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Insert Glue Board: Locate the bottom tray of the insect trap. Press the button to release and open the tray. Remove the protective layer from one sticky glue board and place it securely into the tray. Close the tray until it clicks into place.
- Position the Trap: Place the trap in an area where flying insects are frequently observed, such as kitchens, living rooms, or near houseplants. Ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface. For optimal performance, position the trap away from strong light sources during nighttime operation.
- Connect Power: Connect the USB cable to the trap and then to the provided USB power adapter. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The trap can also be powered via a laptop, power bank, or any PC USB port.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Trap is not turning on. | No power supply. | Ensure the USB cable and adapter are securely connected and plugged into a working outlet. Try a different outlet or USB power source. |
| Trap is not catching insects effectively. | Sticky board is full or lost adhesion. | Replace the sticky glue board with a new one. |
| Trap is placed in an area with too much ambient light (in Auto Mode). | Move the trap to a darker location, especially at night, or switch to Manual Mode for continuous operation. | |
| Trap is placed too far from insect activity. | Relocate the trap closer to areas where insects are observed. | |
| Fan is not spinning. | Obstruction or power issue. | Disconnect power, check for any visible obstructions in the fan area. Reconnect power. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
