For effective bird repelling, project the laser dot on
the ground in front of you (A) and slowly move the dot
toward the birds (B). Make sure no vehicles, people
or reective objects are present between you and the
birds. The AVIX Lite should not be used like a gun, i.e.,
do not employ a “point and shoot” technique.

weather conditions.

User manual AVIX®Lite 7
EN
During bright weather conditions, make sure that the
birds are positioned between the user and the sun. If
not, bright sunlight could inhibit the repelling action.
Moisture: Ensure the AVIX Lite is kept dry. Remove
any surface moisture with a dry cloth.
Protected species: Local regulations may prohibit the
repelling of specic (protected) bird species. Always
consult relevant laws and regulations before using
the AVIX Lite.
4. Accessories
Battery charger
Use the included battery charger to recharge the
batteries.
1. Plug one end of the power cable or car charger
adapter to the charger’s power input. Plug the other
end of the cord into a wall outlet or the cigarette
lighter socket in your vehicle.
2. Insert the battery in the charger slot and make sure
the positive battery pole corresponds with the (+)
symbol on the charger (gure 6.1). Make sure that
solid contact is made between battery poles and
metal contact points. Once inserted, all the four
status indicators light up for two seconds (Z in
gure 6.1). Afterwards some of the lower status
indicators will turn off, with at least one indicator
blinking. This indicates that the battery is charging.
Charging is completed when the three lower (green)
status indicators are all continuously illuminated.
It takes 2 to 3 hours to fully charge an AVIX Lite
battery.
The charger monitors the charging status of the
battery and will stop charging when the battery is fully
charged. To ensure safe operation, the battery charger
is equipped with overcharge protection and reverse
polarity protection.
If a battery is inserted in reverse or if a defective
battery is inserted, all four status indicators will
continously blink.
CAUTION:
• Only one battery should be inserted per charger slot.
• Non-rechargeable batteries cannot be charged with
this battery charger.
• Use a power source corresponding to the voltage
specied on the nameplate of the charger.
• Do not charge the battery in presence of ammable
liquids or gases.
• Do not expose charger to moisture, water, rain, snow
or spray.
• Never carry the charger by the power cord or yank it
to disconnect from socket.
• After charging or before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning, unplug the charger from
the power source. Pull by plug rather than cord
whenever disconnecting the charger.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or
plug - replace these immediately.
• Only use the supplied power cables.
• Do not operate the charger or disassemble the
charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. Incorrect use or
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or
re.
• Do not charge a battery when temperature is below
-10°C (14°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
• Do not disassemble the charger. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Keep the charger and the power cord away from
children.

Battery
CAUTION:
• To prevent product malfunction, always insert the
battery using the correct orientation.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• Misuse or abuse of the battery may result in leakage,
burns, re or explosion/disassembly resulting in
personal injury or damage to other devices.
• Eye contact with battery contents may cause severe
irritation. If the battery is leaking and material
contacts the eye, ush thoroughly with copious
amounts of running water for 15 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention.
• Skin contact with battery contents may cause
irritation. If battery is leaking and material contacts
the skin, remove any contaminated clothing and
ush the exposed area with copious amounts of
running water. If irritation, injury or pain persists,
seek medical attention.
• Inhalation of vapors or fumes released from multiple
leaking batteries may cause respiratory and eye
irritation. A high concentration of fumes or vapor
may cause central nervous system effects including
headache, dizziness and nausea.
• Do not swallow batteries. Irritation to the internal/
external mouth area, may occur following exposure
to a leaking battery. If battery is leaking, contents
may be irritating to respiratory passages. Move to
fresh air. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
• In case of re, use dry chemical, alcohol foam,
water or carbon dioxide as appropriate to extinguish
a re. In the initial stage of a re, carbon dioxide
extinguishers are typically more effective than water.
Fireghters should wear positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing. Fight re from a distance or protected
area. Batteries exposed to re must be cooled to
prevent rupture. Use extreme caution when handling
batteries that have been exposed to re as they may
explode or rupture.
