Setting up your new repeller in 2 easy steps:
1.
Insert the 4 x AA rechargeable batteries into the
back of the unit. Cover with the black plate and fix
into place with the 4 back plate screws. (You’ll
need a Philips screwdriver).
2.
Insert the stake into the bottom of the repeller.
Place the nuts in the nut-shaped spaces at where
the stake meets the unit. Attach the bolts and
tighten.
The Settings:
Frequency
The frequency setting is what sets this unit apart from other
devices. Cats, like humans are all different and their
hearing spectrums differ from animal to animal. This setting
couples up with the intense frequency pattern to allow you
to fine tune the device to the specific cat giving you trouble.
If you find the cat is unaffected by the device initially, you
can alter this setting bit by bit until you hit the frequency
level that resonates most with the cat. You should find once
you’ve got the right setting, the cat will disappear. For more
on animal behavior, see additional information.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity setting allows you to get a control over the
amount of times your unit activates. Depending on the size
of your garden, you might not want the device to detect up
to the full 6-7 meters. You can reduce sensitivity to reduce
the field of detection / amount of movement needed to set
the device off. Reducing to the lowest setting prevents the
unit from activating at all.
WHERE TO PLACE THE DEVICE
1.
Ultrasonic waves travel in straight lines. Think of it
as ‘line of sight’. Solid objects significantly impact
on the soundwaves as they cannot pass through
physical objects. For best placement, try to have
the device pointing to where the animals enter
your garden, or at least very commonly trodden
areas.
2.
When positioning the unit in the ground, carefully
fix the ground spike/stake to the unit and gently
push the unit into the ground at the place that
seems most favorable. You can always try different
locations until you find what works best for your
garden.
3.
When selecting the installation location, please
choose suitable terrain to ensure any part of the
unit won’t become submerged during periods of
heavy rain and that the unit isn’t obstructed.
4.
It’s important to maximize the solar power the
device harnesses. To do so, avoid aiming the unit
at areas of regular movement (such as a public
footpath).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The ultrasonic needs to be quite powerful to work efficiently;
it may well affect very young children and babies as the
bones in their ears haven’t hardened off or fully developed.
If you have concerns about babies or very young children,
we suggest turning the sensitivity setting to the lowest
setting (effectively turning the unit off) whilst they’re out in
the garden.
You may find that the cat does not seem bothered by the
repeller during the first few days or even weeks of use.
This is usually because the cat has become used to its
behavioral pattern of visiting the area and will take some
convincing to change. However given time you should find
that the repeller is too unbearable for the cat and it will stop
visiting. This is why we ask you use the device for 30 days
in order for our Effectiveness guarantee (see below) to be
valid.
