Black & Decker Series 1000 Heavy-Duty Electronic Pest Repeller

About Ultrasound

Ultrasonic waves are nearly silent to humans and most animals. Most pests hear sounds in the ultrasonic range. Household pests are repelled because they cannot adapt to the constantly changing array of ultrasonic waves emitted by the unit. The wave signals disrupt the pests' nervous system, greatly affecting their feeding and communication habits, thereby forcing them to leave the area. This unit may be used around humans, and non-rodent pets such as dogs, cats, birds and fish.

• †Results are based on independent laboratory tests.
• Ultrasound loses its intensity as it travels and is absorbed by soft objects.
• Ultrasound cannot reach nesting and feeding places behind walls, under floors, or within cracks.
• Multiple units may be necessary for larger rooms.

Caution: Keep unit away from pet tarantulas, mice, hamsters, gerbils and rabbits.

About Sonic Sound

Sonic sound waves are low frequency, audible sounds that carry further than ultrasonic waves and are effective in repelling larger pests such as rats. These lower frequency sounds are effective in protecting areas up to 400 square feet.

Caution: Prolonged exposure to the unit in the loud and medium mode (sonic) settings is not recommended for pets in a confined area. It may also be irritating to humans.

How to Use

This product is for indoor use. Under optimal conditions, the heavy-duty performance of the 1000 series units cover an extra-large size room (up to 400 square feet). Place the unit on a flat surface. Operate the pest repeller continuously, 24 hours a day, occasionally moving to a different location.

Note: For best results, place additional units in adjacent rooms and on each level of the dwelling. It may take up to 2 weeks to see results. Continue to use to keep pests from returning.

1. Insert barrel plug end of the AC adapter cord into the POWER jack (located on the back of the unit).
2. Plug the transformer end into an AC electrical wall outlet.
3. Move the switch to the ON position. The LED light will remain illuminated as long as the unit is operating.
4. Select the SOUND PATTERN and SOUND VOLUME switch positions according to the type of pests you want the unit to repel. The SOUND PATTERN switch adjusts the length, interval, and pattern of the sound, while the SOUND VOLUME switch selects the sound level.
5. Slide the SOUND VOLUME switch to select the sound level to broadcast.
6. Slide the SOUND PATTERN switch to select which pests to repel. The SOUND PATTERN switch adjusts the length, interval and pattern of the sound.
