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”).

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”

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

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.

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.
