Operation
ignition is turned off. The electric power consumption
is lower than the one of a car quartz watch.
After having connected the operating voltage to a 12 V
direct current, the LED indicator (1), which is installed
in the device, will slowly flash. In case this control
lamp does not flash, there is either no electric connec-
tion or the polarity of the electric connection is wrong
(positive and negative polarity is swapped).
Hint:
In the EU states it is absolutely necessary that
the ultrasonic marten repeller is installed that way, so
it can only be operated with switched-off engine, never
while the engine is running.
General Notes
When your car already has been visited by martens,
most likely the animals have left their marks for the
identification of their area. These odours must uncon-
ditionally be removed before installing the Ultrasonic
Marten Repeller. Or other martens could even enter a
bite protected engine compartment. To prevent this,
washing the motor thoroughly is suggested. Further-
more, the animals leave their marks frequently under
the vehicle, e.g. on the car park. Therefore it is
recommendable to remove these traces with deter-
gents and mop. This way there is no reason for the
marten to be forced to defend its area.
