approximately 6 hours after the device has been fully charged by direct sunshine (this
time will vary depending upon the number of zaps / insect kills during the night
Operating Time White LED Light Function - LIGHT ONLY Mode:
Approximately 8 hours
after the device has been fully charged in the daytime by direct sunlight.
Photocell Sensor:
Automatically turns the unit on at dusk and off at dawn.
Moisture Detection Sensor:
Automatically detects rain or damp wet atmosphere and
turns the unit off to preserve stored energy / power and to avoid a short circuit of the
killing grid.
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE FIRST USE:
Please ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for up to 8 hours before first use.
Whilst there is a residual charge on the battery, the battery should be fully charged before
using and allowing a full discharge.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
Cleaning of the Killing grid will extend product life and promote
more efficient operation. First make sure the unit is turned OFF. Remove dead insects that
may have lodged in the killing grid with a fine soft brush with a wood or plastic handle or
blowing equipment. Be careful not to damage the grid.
Removing Dead Insects
: Dead insects may accumulate at the base of the unit. It is
recommended that the Insect Killer be removed from the pole and tipped on its side to
discharge any dead bugs accumulated on the base of the Insect Killer.
Cleaning Solar Panel
: Periodically clean the solar panels with a damp cloth.

LOCATING & MOUNTING POLES ASSEMBLY
Select a location where the solar panel can receive direct
sunlight for at least 8 hours a day. Shadowed locations will
not allow the battery to charge fully and will reduce the
hours of night-time working. Avoid locating the product near
other light sources (i.e. porch or street lights), as these light
sources interfere with the product’s built
-on light sensor and
either turn off the product or disrupt its operation.
1.
Ensure that the function selector switch is in the
“ON”
position
2.
Insert threaded end of Pole (c) into threaded pole (d)
and tighten. Do not over-tighten.
3.
Insert the spiked base (e) into other end of threaded
pole (d) and tighten. Push the spiked base (e) into the
ground in the desired location, ensuring that the
complete stand is firm and stable.
4.
Hang the Stinger Solar Insect Killer (f) onto the
assembled Hanging Pole
