- Removable Bug Catching Tray
- Hanging Chain (optional)
- User Manual
Placement:
Choose a suitable indoor location for the bug zapper. It can be placed on a flat surface or hung using the provided chain.

Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off:
- Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
- Locate the power switch on the side of the device.
- Flip the switch to the 'ON' position. The LED lamps will illuminate, and the high-voltage grid will become active.
- To turn off the device, flip the switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug it from the outlet.
Enhanced LED Attraction:
The bug zapper utilizes a combination of two peak wavelength LED beads at 365nm and 395nm. This dual-color LED system is engineered to increase insect attraction by 30%, making it particularly effective in low-light or nocturnal environments. You will observe two distinct colors from the LED beads when the unit is operational.

Usage Environment:

Lamp Replacement:
The high-efficiency LED lamps are designed for a lifespan of over 10 years, significantly reducing the need for frequent replacements. However, if replacement is necessary, the bulbs are designed to be replaceable. Please refer to the specific lamp replacement instructions provided with your replacement bulbs or contact Buzbug customer support for guidance.

Troubleshooting
- Device Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Check if the outlet is receiving power.
- Reduced Effectiveness: Ensure the device is placed in a dark or low-light area. Bright ambient light can reduce the attraction of insects. Clean the bug catching tray and the grid regularly to prevent accumulation of debris.
- No Zapping Sound: If insects are present but no zapping sound is heard, the high-voltage grid may be obstructed or the lamps may need replacement. Unplug the device and clean the grid. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
