II - Warnings:

1. First use

 The battery should be fully charged before first use. If the battery level does not indicate 100% on the

status screen (to access it, press Select button when on home menu), then charge the battery. Plug your

device into a wall socket using your charger (the charger should be connected to input n°7, see Chapter I.

1.) for approximately 10 hours.

 Once the device is fully charged (the light on the charger becomes green instead of red), always unplug the

charger from the power outlet and from your AviTrac® device.

 In order to avoid battery damage, please make sure you do not let the battery fully discharge.

When the AviTrac® is used daily, recharge it every 3 weeks and make sure it is fully charged before

you turn it off for storing when not in use.

 To turn the AviTrac® off for storing when not in use:

o Recharge the battery completely

o Turn the 2 alarms off ("programmable" and "light" alarms) (See chap. IV. 3.)

 The AviTrac® acoustic bird repeller should be used with caution in the presence of herds nearby, as

distress signals may cause unpredictable reactions from some animals.

 The acoustic bird repeller may emit sound signals up to 120 dBA @ 1 meter. It is crucial not to stand in

front of the speaker(s) when it is emitting at maximum power.

 The guarantee is not valid if the green plastic seal is not intact or if the memory card is replaced.

2. Sounds

Some sound signals may seem unusual; they are the result of considerable research on animal behavior.

Particular tones are accentuated because they are more efficient than others.

That signals are conceived to "confuse" pest animals. Indeed, they are recognized as stressful, but the birds,

unable to identify them or recognize them clearly, will end up tiring of them and will leave the protected area.

In the context of bird-scaring sounds, it is important to prevent the habituation effect. So it is necessary to vary

the sounds emitted, but also the intervals between each signal. Emit only when necessary in order to maintain

the efficiency of signals.

3. Battery charger and power supply

By default, your AviTrac® is delivered with a battery charger (ref 0911).

You can also choose a mains power supply (ref 0921) for use indoors or on fixed installation (more information

is available from your usual reseller).

Neither the battery charger nor the power supply is waterproof. They must be plugged and used in a clean and

dry place.

If you want to use your AviTrac® plugged into an outdoor power supply, you will have to use a waterproof

cable, available in 5 meters (ref 0961) or 10 meters (ref 0962). Please do not hesitate to ask your local

distributor for these references.

The charger comes with two lights that give you information about battery status:

 Red light: Battery is charging; Green Light: Battery is charged

 CAUTION: Always unplug the battery charger from the AviTrac® device and from the wall power outlet

once the battery is fully charged
