Operating Instructions

The WowCatch Flying Insect Trap operates continuously once plugged in. The UV light attracts flying insects, which then adhere to the sticky card inside the device.

• Continuous Operation: The trap provides 24/7 protection against flying insects.
• Automatic Light: The UV light automatically activates when the device is plugged in and the housing is correctly attached.
• Turning Off: To temporarily turn off the device without unplugging the entire unit, simply lift the plug-in housing from the base. This prevents wear and tear on your electrical outlet.

2. Remove Used Card: Slide the used sticky card out from the bottom of the housing. Dispose of the used card responsibly.
3. Insert New Card: Take a new refill card and carefully peel off its protective film. Slide the new card into the housing, ensuring it is fully seated.

Troubleshooting

If your WowCatch trap is not performing as expected, consider the following:

• No Insects Caught:
  • Ensure the protective film has been completely removed from the sticky card.
  • Verify the device has been operating for a sufficient amount of time (at least 24-48 hours).
  • Relocate the device to an area with higher insect activity.
  • Check if the UV light is active. If not, ensure the housing is securely attached to the base and the unit is properly plugged into a functioning outlet.
• Sticky Card Not Staying in Place:
  • Ensure the sticky card is correctly inserted into the designated slots within the housing.
  • If the card still feels loose, a small piece of tape can be used to secure it, ensuring it does not cover the sticky surface or obstruct the light.
• Device Not Lighting Up:
  • Confirm the device is firmly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the plug-in housing is fully and correctly seated onto the light base. The light automatically activates upon proper assembly.
