HOW TO GET STARTED
Open the Battery Compartment:
The Rat Zapper Classic battery compartment is located on the top of the unit. To open, pull the
security tab back toward the ON/OFF switch then lift the battery compartment door. Properly install 4
“AA” batteries in the battery holder and re-secure the lid to the battery compartment.
Important Information: The performance of your Rat Zapper Classic will depend upon the:
1) Quality of batteries;
2) Amount of time your Rat Zapper Classic is turned on;
3) Number of rodents killed;
4) Cleanliness of the Rat Zapper Classic unit floor.
There are two uses for the red light on the Rat Zapper Classic.
Battery Check-When you turn the Rat Zapper Classic power switch to the ON position, the red light will blink
brightly once, then turn off. If the light is dim or does not turn on at all, replace the batteries. (See chart above for
Recommended Batteries.)
Rodent Check-The Rat Zapper Classic red light will blink repeatedly when you’ve killed a rodent.
(NOTE: A blinking red light with no rodent inside may indicate moisture has caused a “false trip” of the
unit or the unit requires cleaning. See reverse side of this sheet for cleaning instructions.)
