Bird X Peller Transonic Heavy Duty Pest Peller User Manual
OPERATION AND USE
This electronic pest repeller is constructed of solid-state electronics that require no maintenance or refills.
- Insert the barrel plug end of the AC adapter cord into the POWER jack, (located on the back of the unit). POWER Plug the other end into a standard electrical outlet. (For outdoor connection, the adapter is to be connected to a receptacle or convenience outlet of the gasket-cover type for use in wet locations). Move the switch to the ON position. The L.E.D. light will remain illuminated as long as the unit is operating.
- Refer to the diagram on the back of the unit (FIG. 1) to select the SOUND VOLUME switch position and the SOUND PATTERN switch position to customize the desired pest-specific settings.
- Slide the SOUND VOLUME switch to select which sound level to broadcast.
- Slide the SOUND PATTERN switch to select which pests to repel. The SOUND PATTERN switch adjusts the length, interval, and pattern of the sound. (See examples below).
Place the unit on a flat surface. Operate the pest repeller continuously, occasionally moving the unit to a different location as necessary. Allow up to 2 weeks to see results. Continue use to permanently keep pests away.
HOW IT WORKS
Pests are repelled because they cannot adapt to the constantly changing array of ultrasonic and sonic signals emitted by the unit. The unit disrupts the pests’ nervous systems, affecting their feeding and communication habits, forcing them to leave the area. The unit is safe for use around humans, unborn children, and non-rodent pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. However, the unit should be kept away from pet tarantulas, mice, hamsters, ferrets, and gerbils. Independent laboratory and university testing has proven ultrasonic and sonic sound technology to be an effective form of pest control.
ABOUT ULTRASONIC AND SONIC SOUNDS
Ultrasonic sounds, (sounds above 20,000Hz), are nearly silent to humans and most animals. Ultrasound cannot travel through walls or closed doors. The signals bounce off these hard surfaces causing a ricochet effect. Ultrasonic sounds are absorbed by soft materials such as curtains, furniture, and carpet, which in turn diminish the effectiveness of the unit. Shadow areas may occur around corners or behind home furnishings. Sonic sounds are lower frequency, audible, sounds that carry further and are effective in repelling larger pests such as rats and squirrels. These lower-frequency sounds are effective in protecting larger areas. Prolonged exposure to the unit in loud and medium (sonic) settings is not recommended for pets in confined areas and can be irritating to humans.
