5. Getting started
Dogs and cats are most popular pets and are always around the house and the garden.
But there are always some areas that they should not be in, such as larders, bedrooms
or sand pits. The Gardigo Cat-Repellent registers all animals passing by within a dis-
tance of 7 m and at an angle of 70°. As soon as the motion sensor is triggered, the
device will emit an ultrasonic sound varying between 20 and 27 kHz. These frequencies
are uncomfortable and disturbing to dogs and cats. Within a short period of time, they
will avoid the area.
Putting in the batteries
Operation of the device requires 6 x Mignon (AA, 1,5 V) batteries. Please do not use
rechargeable batteries, as these very often have a lower voltage. This can strongly in-
fluence the performance of the device.
• Open the battery compartment at the back of the device with a screw driver.
• Insert 6 pieces of 1,5 V AA batteries
minus end of the battery always connects to the spring in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• The device is now ready for use.
The Cat-Repellent can also be powered with a power supply. A 9 V, 100 mA power supply
can be purchased through our store (Accessory No. 60052). The power supply is con-
nected to the power input socket
Warning! If you are using a power supply
with the device, then the device may not be
installed or used outside the house.
Mounting
The device can be mounted to a wall, a tree or a fence or can be placed onto the table or
a shelf. To place it on the table, just turn it upside down. This does not have any effect
on the function. We recommend installing the device, so that it cannot be reached by
the animals, as they might find an interest in the source of the uncomfortable noise
and try to destroy it.
Installing the device with the bracket
• Release the mounting bracket from the housing by pushing it upwards. The mount-
ing bracket can be found at the back of the housing.
