FAQs
Can I use the bug zapper and the light at the same time?
Yes, the device is designed to function as both a zapper and a light simultaneously, or each function can be toggled independently.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life varies based on the brightness setting used and whether the bug zapper is active, but it is built to support a full night of typical usage.
Is the unit waterproof?
The device is designed for outdoor use, but it should not be submerged in water or left in heavy, prolonged rainfall.
How do I know when it is fully charged?
Refer to the integrated charge level indicator; the lights will signal the current battery status during the charging process.
Does the bug zapper make a loud noise?
The zapper produces a quiet, standard sound when insects contact the grid, which is typically unobtrusive.
Troubleshooting
The device does not turn on after charging
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the USB-C port and check if the charge level indicator lights up.
The bug zapper is not attracting insects
Adjust the device position so the attraction panel is not obstructed and ensure no competing light sources are brighter than the device.
Solar charging seems ineffective
Check for obstructions such as tree cover and ensure the solar panel is angled directly toward the sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your unit, fully charge the internal battery via the USB-C cable before your first outing to ensure maximum capacity. Once at the lake, utilize the hanging loop to suspend the light from your bivvy ceiling or use the flat base for placement on a bait table.
Maintenance Tips:
- Ensure the solar panel remains clean; wipe it with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust or mud.
- Keep the zapper grid clear of debris using a small brush; never use water or harsh chemicals to clean the electrical components.
- Check the USB-C port cover is firmly closed when not in use to maintain weather resistance.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods to protect the battery lifespan.
