Bird-X YARDGARD Instruction Manual - page 2
VI. INSTALLATION
Use the keyhole slots on the back to mount it on any building, wall or wooden post with nails or screws.
Point the speaker at the area you want covered. If installing outdoors, place the unit at least 3 feet above the ground for
optimum range.
VII. TROUBLESHOOTING
A. Check that the power switch of the unit is not OFF (in other words, either CONT AC Only or MS AC or Battery). If
using batteries, check that they are good. If using the Continuous AC Only power setting, check that the outlet is good.
If using the MS AC or Battery setting, only expect activation if there is motion.
B. Reread the Pest Management Program section above. Check for and remove unusual incentives.
C. Check the dial settings and ensure you have selected a range appropriate to the pest.
D. If a specific dial setting causes a squeaking or scratching sound, rotate the dial slightly until the sound stops.
VIII. PRECAUTIONS
Even though the top range of the YardGard, 25 kHz, is above human hearing range (which averages, at top level, about
16 kHz), the intensity is great enough to present a chance of damage to the ear if it is directly exposed for an extended
period of time at a distance of less than 10 feet. These units should definitely not be located at or near a place where
someone will be located for a long time. Normally, this type of unit is located outside pointing away from a house or
structure, or indoors in a rarely occupied attic or basement, and thus presents no problem when located in this manner.
We suggest that when you are sitting or working within range of the unit, you turn it off, as human presence will
normally deter the pests.
As with any electrical device, do not place the unit in or near water and do not mount it while standing in or surrounded
by water.
Do not aim the product into neighboring yards or public areas, or at caged or leashed animals.
It is intended for use on your own property only. Some people with good high frequency hearing will be able to hear
the unit at its lower frequencies. If this occurs, select a higher frequency.
IX. MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY
The YardGard is warrantied against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of six months from the shipping
date. At the option of Bird-X, Inc., we will either replace or repair the defective unit. Prior authorization and a
returned goods authorization (RGA) number will be necessary from Bird-X, Inc.

X. SYNERGY AND OTHER PRODUCTS
For best results, Bird-X, Inc. always recommends that the YardGard be used in conjunction with one or more other

animal control programs.
