General advice:
For use on cars
The mat is only suitable for indoor use, e.g., for garages, car parks – do not use it outdoors or fold it hard!
In order to avoid damage to the surface of the automobile, we recommend, you place a soft cloth between the car and the
shock mat.
Care and cleaning:
Remove the control unit from the mat (it is attached via push buttons).
Clean the "VOSS.miniPet Shock Mat" with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Dry the mat with a towel and, afterwards,
fasten the control unit via the push buttons on the mat. Please make sure that the mat does not get into contact with the
water. The "VOSS.miniPet Shock Mat" is a very durable product and it will last for years with the right care.
Water resistant:
The mat is water resistant but not waterproof. Water on the mat does not reduce the effectiveness.
The control unit is not waterproof, only water resistant. It will stop working if it gets too wet. It then has to be fully dried
before it can be used again. Do not immerse the control unit in water.
Temperature:
At low temperatures of 15° C and below, it is possible that the mat starts curling or becomes uneven. This does not impede
its functioning. It will flatten as soon as the temperatures rise again.
TESTING THE "VOSS.miniPet Shock Mat"
There are two possibilities for testing the mat.
After having inserted the 9-volt battery, press the MODE button once. The first setting is SOUND + STATIC STIMULATI-
ON. Use this setting for the test. Touch two wires at the same time with the side of your hand (this part of your hand is not
very sensitive). This activates the mat.
Option 1 (0-20 seconds)
Please follow these instructions in order to test the mat, without experiencing a static stimulation.
Touch two wires at the same time and within 20 seconds after turning the device on. You will hear a quite noise. This
indicates that the mat is functioning properly.
Option 2 (after 20 seconds)
Please follow these instructions in order to test the mat and experience a static stimulation. Touch two wires at the same
time and more than 20 seconds after turning the device on. The red LED flashes while you hear the sound and experience
the static pulse. The longer you touch the mat, the stronger the pulse will be.
Note:
Please view the troubleshooting section if the mat doesn't function properly.
