the instructions:
Inserting batteries (not included):

chargeable batteries.
2. Open the battery compartment at the back of the
device by unscrewing the four screws with a screw
driver.
3. When inserting the batteries make sure that the
polarity is correct and as shown in the battery
compartment. (The negative end the battery is
always connected to the spring in the battery
compartment)
4. Close the battery compartment again by moun-
ting the four screws. Make sure that the rubber
seal is still in place and has not fallen out.
5. The device is now ready for use.
Note! When using rechargeable batteries,
please use Ni-MH batteries (AA) with a
capacity up to 1900 mAH. The batteries
cannot be charged in the device!

Mounting:
Ground Spike:
Join the two components of the
ground spike and then put it into the socket at the
bottom of the device.
The device can now be mounted on the lawn or in
the flower beds.
Wall mount:
1. At the back of the device you will find a hole for
wall mounting.

way switch.
• Three different working modes can be selected.
• The individual modes have a strong influence on
the lifespan of the batteries.
• A light sensor disables the flashlight during the
day. When dusk arrives the flash is activated. This
prolongs the lifespan of the batteries considerably.

ultrasonic sound as soon as it becomes dark and
the modes 1-3 are selected.
