Intended use
The product activates a built-in VHF radio and an LED light via a PIR movement sensor. The
period during which the radio and the light remain switched on is adjustable; the volume of the
radio is also adjustable.
The unusual noise and the light drives away game animals. The selection of a radio signal
instead of e.g. a
fi
xed preset signal tone makes it dif
fi
cult for game animals to get used to the
noise since with each activation, via the PIR movement sensor, the built-in loudspeaker trans-
mits different noises (music, speech).
It is operated with batteries.

General instructions for batteries and rechargeable batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (pay
attention to plus and minus signs).
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by chil-
dren or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately, it could be fatal!
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, dismantled or thrown
into a
fi
re. There is a risk of
fi
re and explosion!
• Old or
fl
at batteries can leak liquid chemicals that may damage the device. If not used for a
longer period (e.g., in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Contact of leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries with the skin can cause acid
burns; therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Always replace the complete set of batteries / rechargeable batteries. Do not mix batteries/
rechargeable batteries with different charges (
fl
at and half-discharged batteries/rechargeable
batteries).
• Use either 2 batteries or 2 rechargeable batteries; never mix standard batteries with re-
chargeable batteries. Use only batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same model and type
and from the same manufacturer.

3 PIR movement sensor
The function of the PIR movement sensor is based on the recognition of quick change of
heat in the detection zone, for example, in case of an animal passing by.
4 “Time” rotary switch for setting the activation time of radio and LED light
Set the time during which the game repeller remains switched on when the PIR movement
sensor has released. One rotation towards the right increases the duration (max. approx.
7 min.), a rotation towards the left decreases the duration (min. approx. 15 seconds).
5 Rotary switch “SENS” for adjusting the sensitivity
This switch sets the heat difference at which the game repeller activates the radio/light.
At low sensitivity, it is triggered, for example, only when larger animals pass by; too high
sensitivity can lead to false alarms.
6 Rotary dial for on/off and volume control
Move the rotary dial downwards beyond the catch, then the game repeller is turned on the
volume set.
7 “RESET” button for resetting the transmitter search
If the search does not
fi
nd a transmitter any more, press this button to restart the frequency
search from the beginning.
8 “TUNING” button for starting the transmitter search
Press this button brie
fl
y to search for the next strong VHF station. The search run stops
automatically. To continue the search run, simply press the key again. Select a radio station
as strong as possible with good reception.
9 Battery compartment for three batteries type Mono/D
Insert the batteries with correct polarity (observe plus/+ and minus/-). Take note of the cor-
responding
fi
gure in the battery compartment.
Inserting/replacing the batteries
☞
A rechargeable battery may be used to operate the game repeller, but due to the
lower voltage output (rechargeable battery = 1.2V, standard battery = 1.5V) and
the lower capacity, the service life is much shorter, which means that rechargeable
batteries need to be frequently changed/charged.
Moreover, rechargeable batteries are more temperature-sensitive than normal ones.
Therefore, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure
long-lasting and reliable operation.
If you still want to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using NiMH batteries
with low self-discharge.
• Turn on the large round retaining screw on the back of the game repeller to open the battery
compartment cover. Never remove the battery compartment cover.
• Insert three batteries of type “Mono/D” with correct polarity (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
The battery compartment can be left open for function tests and adjustments, but
moisture must not be allowed to get into it.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• It is necessary to replace the batteries if e.g. the LED
fl
ashes very faintly when activated or if
the radio does not switch on any more. Dispose of the batteries with respect to environmental
protection; see chapter “Disposal”.
