설정 및 설치
위치 선택:
Select an outdoor location away from human activity areas (e.g., patios, decks) to draw insects away. Ideal placement is 15-20 feet away from where people gather. Ensure the unit is hung at a height of 6-8 feet from the ground for optimal coverage and safety.

Attaching the Hanging Ring:
The unit comes with a sturdy hanging ring. Attach it securely to a hook, shepherd's hook, or other suitable outdoor fixture.
Installing the Octenol Attractant:
Locate the attractant slot at the bottom of the unit. Insert the provided Octenol cartridge. The heat from the UV lamp will vaporize the attractant, enhancing mosquito attraction.

전원 연결:
Plug the unit into a grounded outdoor electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for added safety.
작동 지침
Once plugged in, the Flowtron Bug Zapper will immediately begin operation. The UV light will attract insects, which are then eliminated by the 5600-volt killing grid.
- For best results, operate the zapper continuously during peak insect activity hours, typically from dusk till dawn.
- The unit is weatherproof and designed for continuous outdoor use in various conditions.
- The Octenol attractant cartridge should be replaced approximately every 30 days for maximum effectiveness against mosquitoes.

그리드 청소:
The non-clogging grid design minimizes insect accumulation. However, if debris builds up, unplug the unit and use a small brush (not metal) to gently clear the grid. Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the grid.
Replacing the UV Bulb:
The 40W UV bulb has an effective life of approximately 3,000 hours (about 4 months of continuous use). When the light dims or stops working, it's time for replacement.
