Introduction
We congratulate you on the purchase of your new product. You
have chosen a high quality product. The instructions for use are part
of the product. They contain important information concerning safety,
use and disposal. Before using the product, please familiarise your-
self with all of the safety information and instructions for use. Only
use the product as described and for the specified applications. If
you pass the product on to anyone else, please ensure that you
also pass on all the documentation with it.

7GB/IE/NI
Intended use
This product is intended for use as an animal repellant, through the
use of high frequency tones and/ or flashing light. Animals, which
are under species protection, e.g. the mole, must not be caught,
injured or killed. Any use of the product for other or additional
purposes is considered improper use. No claims can be made for
problems cause by improper use or failure to comply with the op-
erational and safety instructions included in the operational manual.
The product is not intended for commercial use.
Mechanism
The product registers the body heat of animals that move in the
detection range of the motion sensor. As soon as an animal is
registered, the product produces high frequency tones, which are
uncomfortable for animals. As different animals can have different
hearing ranges, the frequency of the signal can be adjusted. Noc-
turnal animals can also trigger an automatic flashing light. To be
able to repel lots of different animals, you can adjust the settings
to combine any of the signal frequencies with the flashing light.
WARNING: Frequencies from 16Hz to a maximum of 20kHz
can generally be heard by humans. However, with increasing age,
human‘s ability to hear higher frequencies is reduced. You should
work on the assumption the programmes 1, 2 and 5 release
frequencies, which can be heard by humans.

8 GB/IE/NI
Thus you should set up the product so that it is out of the hearing
range of humans.
