IMPORTANT: Plug the adapter into a protected
outlet that remains dry. The adapter is designed
for indoor use, and shall remain readily operable.
3) It is recommended to mount the speakers on a
post or surface at a height of 5 to 10 feet above
the area to be protected facing outward.
4) Set the Recording switches, Mode Setting
switches, Time-Off switches, Time of Operation
switches and Random Operation switches to
the desired settings. (See “PROGRAMMING
YOUR BIRD GARD” for complete details on
how to program your bird repeller).
5) Make sure the volume setting is set to LOW (all
the way counterclockwise).
6) Slide the power switch to the ON position. The
unit may take a few seconds before starting.
7) Adjust the volume to the desired level.
8) Close the cover and latch shut.
PROGRAMMING YOUR BIRD GARD®
NOTE: The unit is preset at the
factory to the recommended use
settings: all eight sounds turned ON,
the Short Time Off interval, Daytime
Only operation and Random Mode
ON. Do not change these settings.
However, if it becomes necessary to program your
Bird Gard®unit you will need a small screwdriver,
toothpick, or other small, rigid object to slide the
switches in the switch array. The switch arrays are
the switch banks located in the top left corner of the
unit (under “RECORDINGS”). A switch is ON if the
switch is moved to the right-hand side by sliding the
switch to the right. The switch is OFF when moved
to the left-hand side.
RECORDING SETTING SWITCHES
The Recordings switches are the first eight
switches in the top switch array. Each switch has
a Sound number to the left of it that corresponds
with the bird/sound descriptions listed on the foil
label located on the EPROM board to the right
of the switch arrays. The Bird Gard Pro Plus is
designed to play each selected sound at a different
randomly selected frequency
each time it plays that sound.
This feature is designed to
add to the effectiveness of the
unit and is independent of the
Random Operation Switch
Setting.
MODE SETTING SWITCHES
The Mode Setting switches
set the various modes of
operation: such as the
amount of time between
playing bird distress calls, when the unit will operate
(day only, night only, or 24 hours), and whether the unit
will operate in the Random Mode or Normal Mode.
Switch Mode or Function
1 Sets the Time Off Period
2 Sets the Time Off Period
3 Sets the Time the unit plays
4 Sets the Time the unit plays
5 Turns Random Mode On or Off
TIME OFF SWITCHES
The two Time-Off switches
are located just below the
Recording switches in the
switch array. When the unit is
set to one of the various Time-Off modes, the unit
will delay a number of seconds or minutes between
recorded sounds. Please note that the unit will play
all of the selected recordings (either sequentially
or non-sequentially, depending on the Random
Mode) then it will go into a delay. The time the unit
stays off depends on the Time-Off and the Random
Mode settings. If the unit is operating in Random
Mode, the unit will delay anywhere from the mini-
mum value to the maximum value for that time-off
setting. If the unit is not in Random Mode, it will
delay only the minimum value. To set the Time-Off
period (or delay interval), use the following settings
on switches 1and 2in the mode function settings.
Switch 1 Switch 2 Time Off Period
ON OFF Short
OFF ON Medium
ON ON Long
OFF OFF Extra Long
Mode Min Max
Short 17 sec 50 sec
Medium 1 min 4:15 min
Long 5:00 min 10:00 min
XLong 10 min 30 min
TIME OF OPERATION SWITCHES
The two “Day/24hour/
Night” switches are located
just under the Time-Off
switches in the switch
array. ‘Night Mode’ operates the unit at night
and ‘Day Mode’ operates the unit during the day.
However, the photocell that senses the sunlight is
susceptible to bright lights. Take care not to have
bright lights shining towards the unit since this
can prevent the unit from operating properly. In
24-Hour mode, the unit will operate continuously,
regardless of the time of day. To set the Time
period for the unit to operate set switches 3and
4in the Mode Function settings to the following:
Switch 3 Switch 4 Mode
ON OFF Day Only
OFF ON 24-Hour
ON ON Night Only
OFF OFF also Night Only
RANDOM OPERATION SWITCH
The “Random” switch is the
bottom switch in the switch
array. When operating in
Random Mode, the unit will
randomly play the selected recordings in non-
sequential order, also at random frequencies.
When the unit is not operating in the Random
Mode, the unit will play the selected recordings
in a sequential order. The Random Mode is
recommended to keep birds from adapting to a
preset pattern of sounds. To operate the unit in
Random mode, set switch 5in Mode settings as
follows:
12345678 12345

Switches (1-8)
NOTE: The Bird Gard Pro Plus features a replaceable Memory Card
with Sound Chip. You will notice that the sounds included on your Bird
Gard Pro Plus unit are listed on a silver foil label affixed to the chip. To
remove, simply pull Memory Card with Sound Chip straight out from the
embedded socket. Then insert a different Memory Card with Sound Chip
by pressing firmly straight into the socket.
