- Remote Control Preparation: Locate the remote control. Remove the battery isolation piece from the bottom of the remote before use.
- Mounting: Choose a suitable location for the deterrent. Ensure it has direct sunlight for optimal solar charging and a clear line of sight to the area you wish to protect. Use the provided screws to securely mount the unit to a wall, fence, or stake. The device should be positioned to allow its 110-degree sensing angle to cover the target area effectively.
- Power On: Press the power button on the device to turn it on.
3. Operating Instructions
The ChunHee Solar Animal Deterrent offers three operating modes and adjustable volume. Use the remote control to select your desired settings.
3.1. Working Modes
Select one of the following modes using the remote control:
- Mode A (24H Motion Sensor): The device will activate with sound and flash alarms whenever motion is detected, day or night.
- Mode B (Night Motion Sensor): The device will activate with sound and flash alarms only when motion is detected during nighttime hours.
- Mode C (Night Cycle Alarm): The device will emit sound and flash alarms every 5 minutes during nighttime hours, regardless of motion detection.
3.2. Sound Options and Volume
The device comes with default sounds like gunshot and dog barking. You can also record your own sound.
- Adjust Volume: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the remote control to adjust the alarm volume (100dB, 120dB, 130dB).
- Recording Custom Sound: Press the recording button on the remote to start recording. The recording will automatically finish when the maximum duration (20 seconds) is reached or when you press the button again. New recordings will overwrite previous ones.
4. Maintenance
The ChunHee Solar Animal Deterrent is designed for outdoor use and requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Weather Resistance: The device has an IP65 waterproof rating, allowing it to function in rainy, snowy, or freezing weather conditions. However, for prolonged extreme weather, consider temporary relocation or additional protection if possible.
- Battery Care: Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight for continuous charging. If the device is stored for an extended period, fully charge it via USB before storage and periodically recharge it to maintain battery health.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ChunHee Solar Animal Deterrent, refer to the following common solutions:
- Device Not Turning On: Ensure the device has sufficient charge. Connect it to a USB power source for at least 2 hours.
- Remote Control Not Working: Verify that the battery isolation piece has been removed from the remote. If the remote's range is reduced or it becomes unresponsive, replace its battery.
- Ineffective Repelling:
- Clean the Area: Remove any fallen fruit or other food sources in the garden that might attract animals, as these can significantly affect the repelling effect.
- Allow Time: Animals may not respond to the alarm immediately. Consistent use for 2 to 3 weeks is often required to achieve the desired repelling effect, as some animals may take 10-15 days to adapt.
- Adjust Settings: Experiment with different working modes and volume levels. Animals accustomed to human presence may be less sensitive to certain sounds; try turning on the warning sound or using a custom recording.
- Placement: Ensure the device is positioned correctly, with the sensor facing the target area and no obstructions blocking its detection range.
- Solar Charging Issues: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receives direct sunlight for at least 10 hours daily. If placed in a shaded area, rely more on USB charging.
