BLACK&DECKER 100-700 Series Direct Plug-In Electronic Pest Repeller

About the Product

This document provides essential information for the Black & Decker Direct Plug-In Electronic Pest Repeller, covering its operation, features, care, and warranty details for the 100-700 Series.

How it Works: Ultrasound Technology

The device utilizes ultrasonic waves to repel common household pests like mice, cockroaches, and spiders. These high-frequency sound waves are generally inaudible to humans and most domestic animals, but they disrupt the nervous systems of pests, interfering with their feeding and communication habits and encouraging them to leave the area.

The unit is safe for use around humans and non-rodent pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and fish.

• Results are based on independent laboratory tests.
• Ultrasound intensity diminishes with distance and is absorbed by soft materials.
• The waves cannot penetrate walls, floors, or cracks to reach pest nesting or feeding locations.
• For larger rooms, multiple units may be necessary for optimal coverage.

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

How to Use

This product is intended for indoor use only. The 100-400 series units are designed to cover medium-sized rooms, while the 500-700 series units are suitable for large rooms.

1. Plug the unit into an unobstructed AC electrical wall outlet. The unit will automatically begin operating, indicated by an illuminated LED light.
2. Operate the unit continuously for 24 hours a day, repositioning it to different locations as needed.

For Best Results:

• Place additional units in adjacent rooms and on each level of your home.
• Periodically move the unit to a different location.
• Allow up to two weeks to observe results. Continued use is recommended to prevent pests from returning, as some may adapt to ultrasound and reappear in their nesting or feeding areas.

Features:

• Night Light: Certain models feature a night light function. Set the dedicated switch to the ON position to activate it.
• Extra Outlet: Some models are equipped with an additional outlet that allows you to plug in another 110 VAC appliance directly into the repeller. Ensure the plugged-in appliance does not exceed 15 amps.

Caution: This unit should not be used in close proximity to flammable liquids.

Care and Cleaning

• Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
• Always unplug the unit before cleaning. To clean the exterior, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
