4. Operation

Once the zapper is baited and placed, follow these steps to operate it:

1. Turn On the Zapper: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the device and switch it to the 'ON' position. The LED indicator light will illuminate, typically green, to confirm the device is active and ready.
2. Monitoring: The zapper is now active. When a rodent enters the device and completes the circuit, it will receive a high-voltage shock. The LED indicator light may change color or flash to indicate a successful zap.
3. Checking for Catches: Periodically check the zapper for captured rodents. Do not touch the device until it is turned off.
4. Disposal: After a successful catch, turn off the zapper using the ON/OFF switch. Carefully remove the zapper to a waste receptacle. The design allows for no-touch disposal; simply tilt the device to release the rodent without direct contact.
5. Resetting: After disposal, you can re-bait and reset the zapper by turning it back on.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your zapper:

• Cleaning: After each use or as needed, ensure the zapper is turned OFF and unplugged (if charging). Use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe down the internal and external surfaces. Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the electrical components.
• Battery Charging: Recharge the internal Lithium Ion battery when the indicator light suggests low power or after extended periods of use. A full charge ensures optimal performance.
• Bait Refreshment: Replace old or stale bait regularly to maintain attraction for rodents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the zapper, clean it thoroughly, and store it in a dry, safe place away from children and pets.
