II – Quick Settings for Common Pests Below you will find the recommended Strobe, Sound, Frequency, and Installation settings for several common pests and uses. If you do not see your pest listed below or would like more detailed information please read Sections III – VIII in this manual. Bats in Attic Strobe: Constant Sound: Ultra Constant Frequency Dial: 6-8 To Install: Place in attic or where you suspect the bats are entering the roof area. Medium Sized Pests in Yard Strobe: Constant or Off Sound: Ultra Sensor / Constant Frequency Dial: 2-8 Motion Sensor: Adjust to preference To Install: Place near ground level for small pests. For larger pests place at body level of pest Squirrels / Raccoons in Attic Strobe: Constant or Off Sound: Ultra Constant Frequency Dial: 3-6 To Install: Place in attic or crawl space depending on location of pest. To Use for Personal Safety Strobe: Sensor Sound: Alarm Sensor Volume: 40-100 Motion Sensor: Adjust to preference To Install: Place near area you want to protect such as hallways, doorways, yard areas, RVs, etc III - Adjusting the Strobe Settings I. Sensor: The Strobe Light (A) will activate only when triggered by the Motion Sensor (B) Best used to repel large pests that will easily set off the Motion Sensor If you are using batteries, this setting conserves power compared to the “Constant” setting If the Strobe Light is set to “Sensor”, then the sound must be set to either “Ultra Sensor” or “Alarm Sensor” II. Off: The Strobe Light (A) is turned off. Can be used with any sound setting. III. Constant: The Strobe Light (A) will activate continuously. Best used to repel small pests (such as insects) that will not be detected by the Motion Sensor If you are not sure exactly where the pests are located, this setting may be easier for you to use than the Motion Sensor. If the Strobe Light is set to “Constant”, then the sound must also be set to “Ultra Constant”. IV - Adjusting the Sound Settings I. Ultra Sensor: The Speaker (C) will emit Ultrasonic Sound only when it is activated by the Motion Sensor (B). Best used to repel large pests that will easily set off the Motion Sensor If you are using batteries, this setting conserves power compared to the “Constant” setting If the sound is set to “Ultra Sensor”, then the Strobe Light must also be set to “Sensor” (or “Off”). I. Ultra Constant: The Speaker (C) will emit Ultrasonic Sound continuously. Best used to repel small pests (such as insects) that will not be detected by the Motion Sensor If you are not sure exactly where the pests are located, this setting may be easier for you to use than the motion sensor. We recommend using the AC Adapter (H) with this setting because the continuous sound will drain the batteries quickly. If the sound is set to “Ultra Constant”, then the Strobe Light must
also be set to “Constant” (or “Off”) III. Alarm Sensor: When you want to use the Guardian in “Alarm” mode, a loud and audible alarm will sound off when the Motion Sensor (B) is activated. Best used to repel large pests that will easily set off the Motion Sensor The sound will be audible to humans when the Frequency Dial (M) is set to any setting This setting can be used for personal safety to ward off intruders (human or pest) from your property. This works best when the Strobe Light is set to “Sensor” as well. If the sound is set to “Alarm Sensor”, then the Strobe Light must also be set to “Sensor” (or “Off”). V - Adjusting the Motion Sensor The Sensor Sensitivity Dial (K) controls the sensitivity of the Motion Sensor. Numbers on the dial are shown in meters. Not all Strobe and Sound settings use the Motion Sensor. To determine if your settings use the Motion Sensor, refer to the list below: Settings that use the Motion Sensor: Strobe Setting (I) - “Sensor” Sound Setting (J) - “Ultra Sensor” and “Alarm Sensor” Settings that do not use the Motion Sensor: Strobe Setting (I) - “Constant” and “Off” Sound Setting (J) - “Ultra Constant” VI - Adjusting the Volume Dial The Volume Dial allows you to adjust the volume of the audible Alarm. You may need to try the dial at several different frequency settings for optimal results. Settings 0-4 will typically be audible to humans, while settings 5-8 should be inaudible to humans. You will only need to adjust the Volume Dial if you are using the “Alarm Sensor” setting. Otherwise, you may skip this step. VII - Adjusting the Frequency Settings The Frequency Dial (M) allows you to choose the specific types of pests you want to repel using our exclusive Select a Pest™ Technology. The frequency dial only applies to the “Ultra Constant” and “Ultra Sensor” settings. If you are using the “Alarm Sensor” setting, the Frequency dial will be deactivated. You may need to try the dial at several different frequency settings for optimal results. Settings 0-4 will typically be audible to humans, while settings 5-8 should be inaudible to humans. The Frequency Chart (see diagram on right) can be found on the inside of the Back Cover (D) of the unit and displays the range of the Frequency Dial in more detail. Below are common pests and their suggested alternate frequency settings: Squirrels – Frequency Settings 3-8 Insects – Frequency Setting 1 will work if you do not mind hearing the high-pitched sound. If you would rather not hear the sound, use Frequency Settings 5-8. Bats – Frequency Settings 5-8 VIII - Installation The Guardian has been designed so that you can use it virtually anywhere. Choose between 2 easy installation options: 1. Place the unit on any flat surface such as counter tops, window seals, ledges, shelves, patios, and more. 2. Mount the unit using the Mounting Holes (H) on the Back Cover (D). The most common places to mount the Guardian include fences, walls, and trees. If you are installing the Guardian outside, we recommend using it with the included Rain Jacket (F).
IX - Using the Guardian™ as a Personal Safety Device The Guardian™ can be used as a Personal Safety Device to ward off intruders (human or pests) from your property. We recommend using both the Strobe Light (on the “Sensor” setting) and the Alarm Sound (on the “Alarm Sensor”setting) together so that when motion is detected, the unit will activate both the Strobe Light and the Alarm. Place the Guardian™ near doors, hallways or anywhere else in your home where you would like to detect motion. X - Remote Control The Guardian™ Remote Control allows you to conveniently activate the unit from up to 75 feet away! There are two buttons on the front of the remote: Alarm and Ultra. Alarm Button – When pressed, the unit emits the Alarm Sound. This will work on the sound settings of “Ultra Sensor” and “Alarm Sensor” only. If the sound setting is “Ultra Constant”, the remote will not trigger the Alarm Sound. Ultra Button – When pressed, the unit emits the Ultrasonic Sound, no matter if the sound is set to “Ultra”, “Off”, or “Alarm”. Note: If the sound is set to “Ultra Sensor” and the unit is sounding off, the first time you push any button on the remote it will stop the “Ultra Sensor” sound . The second time you push the button, it will activate the Audible Alarm. If you want to stop the alarm sound, simply push the Ultra button again. The Guardian™ must be turned on for the remote to work XI - Rechargeable Battery Compartment (Sold Separately) The optional Rechargeable Battery Compartment replaces the standard Battery Compartment (Q) and can be used to recharge the batteries when the Guardian™ is not in use. The Rechargeable Battery Compartment holds 5 C-size rechargeable batteries (not included). When recharging batteries, make sure the DC jack from the Compartment is firmly connected into the Battery Plug-in (O). Note: Only rechargeable batteries should be used with the Rechargeable Battery Compartment. Using non-rechargeable batteries may damage the unit and will void your warranty.
