• Assemble the aluminum stake sections first. Drawing the wire & plug through the center as you add section lengths, connect the 3 sections of stake together with the threaded section in the middle.
• Connect the small-wired white plug protruding from the aluminum stake into the white receptacle in the round head. This will turn the unit ON.
• Gently push the stake into the base of the round head, lining it up with the screw hole in the "neck" of the head.
• When the screw holes are aligned, the stake is in the correct position. Fasten it in place with the set screw (supplied separately).
• Note: The rechargeable batteries are sealed inside the unit head and should not be exposed. They will recharge from the solar panel.

Installation:

• Find a location near the center of the damaged area where the ground is soft - a burrow is best. The more sunlight the better; dappled shade is preferable to deep shade. Full sunlight is best.
• Insert the stake into the ground as deep as possible, leaving only the head above ground. Do not use excessive force. Do not hammer the head, as this will damage the unit. If the ground is too hard, water it to soften and make a pilot hole.
• A full battery charge will develop after the unit has been outside in the daylight for 24 hours. Once charged, a full solar charge should last 5-6 days even without sunlight.

Once the unit is running, you may observe increased activity as the animals' behavior patterns are disrupted by the onslaught of sensory stimulation. It may take several days for the pests to leave the area. Once they have learned that this area is hostile, the unit will continue to chase them away.
