INSTALLATION
Important safety-related information:
a) Do not install the device during rain or snow
conditions.
b) Installation shall be made in such a way that a
power supply and the internal part of the control unit
never be subjected to water or snow.
c) Note that the power supply is intended for dry
location use only.
1) Point the unit toward the
bird infestation. Expect a
maximum coverage area
of approximately 1 acre
in a long dispersion pat
-
tern. Set the unit on a
flat surface or mount it
to a wooden post using
the mounting bracket and
screws (included).
2) Plug one end of the AC adapter into the POWER jack
(located on the back of the unit). Plug the adapter
into any standard electrical outlet. An optional bat
-
tery cable may be used to connect the control unit
to a 12-volt battery. If this is done, first connect the
black battery clip to the negative terminal on the
battery and then connect the red battery clip to the
positive terminal. Both the connection to the electri
-
cal outlet (or battery) and the connection of the power
cable inside the control unit must be protected from
dripping or splashing water. Do not set an object
filled with liquids on the control unit.
3)
Set the DIP switches located on the front metal face-
plate of the unit, (see Switch Array #1 and Switch
Array #2) to the desired settings. See the section
“Programming your BirdXPeller PRO” for specific
programming information.
4) Turn the volume switch to LOW (Minimum).
Digital Bird Repeller
POWER SWITCH (INT/EXT. SPKR)
The power switch enables the unit to operate.
Slide the switch to the INT/EXT. SPKR (ON) posi
-
tion to start the unit. This will operate the unit,
and generate sound out of the unit AND out of
an optional extension speaker at the same time.
If you wish to operate ONLY a remote extension
speaker (optional), then move the switch to the
EXT. SPKR ONLY position.
If you turn the unit OFF, be sure to leave it off for
about 30 seconds before turning it back on to allow
the electronics to properly reset. To fully discon
-
nect the unit, unplug the power adapter from the
electrical outlet or disconnect the battery cable
from the 12-volt battery.

Limited Warranty
Bird-X, Inc. has been recognized worldwide as the bird
control x-perts for 40 years. We have become experts
through extensive experience and research. As a result, we
are happy to analyze problems and make reommendations
based on each customer’s specific situation and needs.
In addition, we provide the following recommendations for
greatest success, even before activating the repeller.
Remove inducements. Clean the area of all evidence of
birds: nests, fledglings, droppings, dead birds, and the
residential scent. Because birds and their droppings can
carry many diseases, use extreme caution when removing
them. Do not breathe or come into direct contact with them.
If you have questions about how to do this safely, consult
an expert. (Adult birds are likely to return to their young in
order to protect them or to assist them in leaving the area.)
Remove food spillage, garbage, nesting material and other
appealing items.
Survey the birds to determine flight and time patterns,
entries and exits, and nesting, feeding and roosting habits.
This will suggest the unit placement, speaker direction
and time of operation you should choose. Make educated
guesses as to where the birds will go when they are repelled
from their current infestation, and consider additional units
to cover these alternative areas.
Maintain a clean and changing environment. Periodically
clean the area of nests and droppings, relocate or reposition
the unit, vary the output, or turn off the unit for a short time.
Install early, before “bird season” begins, as it is easier to
keep the birds away than to rout them out once they have
established a living pattern.
Use products synergistically. Two or more different kinds
of devices (this repeller plus a visual scare product and/or
a roost inhibiting device) will produce a synergistic effect
-- i.e., in combination, the products will yield much greater
effectiveness than the one alone. Contact us for information
on “companion” products.
