1.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caution
Read and follow these operating instructions before using the repeller for the first time. Ultrasonic waves can penetrate light
building materials. The efficiency of the ultrasonic signal behind solid objects is reduced. It may be necessary to set up
several units to ensure complete coverage. The device emits signals that are inaudible or barely audible to humans.
Currently it is known that ultrasound does not cause any damage if the maximum level is below 140 dB (acoustic pressure)
and the average level, based on 8 h/day, is below 110 dB. Our devices emit ultrasonic sound with the noise levels ranging
between 80 and 120 dB. Continuous operation of the units is not possible.
Headache, pressure, tinnitus
Do not place the device inside living rooms unless your device is intended for this purpose. Although the devices are only
triggered by movement, continuous movement within the operating range of the device can affect hearing. Under certain
conditions this can cause headaches, a feeling of pressure in the head or tinnitus. If you experience the above symptoms,
switch off the device and consult your doctor immediately. If you stay in the garden for extended periods of time, switch off
the repeller. Never hold the repeller directly at the ear of a living being.
Epilepsy
If your device has a flash setting, please note that the different stroboscopic light settings could cause epileptic seizures in
some persons.
Effects of the repeller on your pets
Please note that the ultrasonic sound of the device is also perceived by your pets. Make sure that the repellers are switched
off if your pet is inside the operational zone. Sounds in this frequency range can be very annoying to pets. Fear and warning
cries of animals also occur in the ultrasonic range and therefore have a scaring effect.
Children and teenagers
Hearing in toddlers, children and teenagers is generally much more acute than in adults. Please note that if toddlers/
children/adolescents are within the operational area of the device, it is essential to switch the device off. When storing the
inactive device, make sure that it is kept out of the reach of children.
Use by special groups of people
Use of the device is not intended for children and persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of
experience and knowledge. There should always be a supervisor on site.
Use of hearing protection
In order to counteract any possible damage to hearing caused by the ultrasound, hearing protection must be worn during
use of the device and when entering its effective range.
Handling batteries
1. If you are using new rechargeable batteries or if the unit has not been used for a long time (over a month), it is normal
that the batteries will need to be charged. Three to five charges are necessary to condition the batteries, then they can be
used normally. If the batteries that have been used for a long time need to be recharged frequently, replace them with new
ones.
2. If the batteries have not been used for a long time, replace them with three AA 1.2V rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH) in the battery compartment. Only batteries in good condition guarantee the best possible function of the animal
repellent. This also prevents damage caused by leaking.
3. Recharge the batteries only when they are completely empty to avoid a possible memory effect.
Danger of explosion
Do not open the device during operation, if it is powered by a rechargeable battery. Do not short-circuit, disassemble or
throw the device and battery into a fire. In such cases there is a risk of explosion.
The devices must be set up in such a way that you comply with the laws applicable in your country for ultrasonic emission
in public spaces. This can be obtained from the local authorities responsible for your area.
