GRUNDIG Ultrasonic Solar Animal Repeller User Manual

1. ആമുഖം

The GRUNDIG Ultrasonic Solar Animal Repeller is designed to deter various animals from your garden or outdoor areas using ultrasonic sounds and flashing LED lights. This device operates on solar power, charging its internal Ni-MH batteries during daylight hours. It features an adjustable motion sensor, two frequency modes for different animal types, and is splash-proof for outdoor use.

Please read this manual carefully before using the device to ensure proper installation, operation, and maintenance.

2 സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ

• ഉപകരണം കുട്ടികൾക്ക് ലഭ്യമാകാതെ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.
• Do not immerse the device in water. While splash-proof, it is not waterproof and should be protected from heavy or prolonged rain.
• ഉപകരണം തുറക്കരുത് casing, except for battery replacement. Tampering with the internal components may void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
• Use only the specified Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Position the device away from areas where pets or domestic animals frequently rest, as the ultrasonic sounds may cause discomfort.
• The ultrasonic sounds are generally safe for humans, but prolonged exposure at very close range may be mildly irritating to some individuals.

5. സജ്ജീകരണം

5.1 അസംബ്ലി

1. പാക്കേജിംഗിൽ നിന്ന് എല്ലാ ഘടകങ്ങളും ശ്രദ്ധാപൂർവ്വം നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക.
2. Attach the extension tube to the pointed ground stake.
3. Connect the main repeller head unit to the top of the extension tube. Ensure a secure fit.

5.2 Initial Charge & Battery Installation

The device uses rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. These may be pre-installed or require installation.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the repeller head unit.
2. If batteries are not installed, insert the Ni-MH batteries (AA, 1.2V) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
3. ബാറ്ററി കമ്പാർട്ട്മെൻ്റ് സുരക്ഷിതമായി അടയ്ക്കുക.
4. Before first use, place the repeller in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours to allow the batteries to fully charge. The solar panel will charge the batteries automatically during daylight.

5.3 പ്ലേസ്മെൻ്റ്

Optimal placement is crucial for effective operation:

• Choose a location in your garden or outdoor area that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day to ensure continuous battery charging.
• Insert the assembled repeller firmly into the ground. Ensure the repeller head is positioned so the motion sensor has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to protect.
• The device has a detection range of 5-8 meters and a 120° angle, covering approximately 40 m². For larger areas, multiple units may be required.
• Avoid placing the device behind large obstacles (walls, dense bushes) that could block the motion sensor or solar panel.
• While splash-proof, protect the device from permanent and heavy rain by placing it under a slight overhang if possible, or consider temporary relocation during severe weather.

6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

6.1 പവർ ഓൺ/ഓഫ്

Locate the ON/OFF switch on the device. Slide it to the "ON" position to activate the repeller. Slide to "OFF" to deactivate.

6.2 ഫ്രീക്വൻസി ക്രമീകരണം

The repeller offers two frequency modes (13 KHz – 60 KHz) to target different animal species. Adjust the frequency dial according to the animals you wish to deter:

• Mode 1 (Lower Frequency): Generally effective for larger animals like dogs, foxes, raccoons.
• Mode 2 (Higher Frequency): More effective for smaller animals such as cats, mice, and martens.

Experiment with both modes to find the most effective setting for your specific pest problem.

6.3 മോഷൻ സെൻസർ സെൻസിറ്റിവിറ്റി

The sensitivity dial allows you to adjust the detection range of the motion sensor:

• Turn the dial clockwise to increase sensitivity and detection range (up to 8 meters).
• Turn the dial counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity and detection range.

Adjust sensitivity to avoid false triggers from small movements (e.g., leaves blowing) or to focus on a specific area.

6.4 LED ലൈറ്റുകൾ

The device is equipped with 4 LED lights and a twilight sensor. At night, when motion is detected, these LEDs will flash, providing an additional visual deterrent to complement the ultrasonic sounds.

7. പരിപാലനം

7.1 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ

• പതിവായി സോഫ്റ്റ്, ഡി ക്ലീനർ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് സോളാർ പാനൽ തുടയ്ക്കുക.amp പൊടി, അഴുക്ക് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ അവശിഷ്ടങ്ങൾ നീക്കം ചെയ്യാൻ തുണി ഉപയോഗിക്കുക. വൃത്തിയുള്ള സോളാർ പാനൽ കാര്യക്ഷമമായ ചാർജിംഗ് ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്നു.
• Keep the motion sensor lens clear of obstructions for optimal detection.
• ഉപകരണത്തിന്റെ ഒരു ഭാഗത്തും അബ്രാസീവ് ക്ലീനറുകളോ ലായകങ്ങളോ ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത്.

7.2 ബാറ്ററി മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കൽ

1. ഉപകരണം ഓഫാക്കുക.
2. ബാറ്ററി കമ്പാർട്ട്മെൻ്റ് തുറക്കുക.
3. Remove the old Ni-MH (AA, 1.2V) batteries and dispose of them responsibly according to local regulations.
4. Insert new, fully charged Ni-MH (AA, 1.2V) batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
5. ബാറ്ററി കമ്പാർട്ട്മെൻ്റ് സുരക്ഷിതമായി അടയ്ക്കുക.
6. Allow the device to charge in direct sunlight for a full day before resuming normal operation.

7.3 കാലാവസ്ഥാ സംരക്ഷണം

Although the device is splash-proof, it is recommended to protect it from extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, or prolonged freezing temperatures to extend its lifespan.
