The heat technology vaporises the active ingredients to release the repellent odour into the air.
Directions for use:
Remove the cap from the bottle. Insert the cartridge into the plug-in device and twist to lock in place. Insert the plug-in into a suitable electrical socket. Please note that the plug-in will automatically adjust to voltages of 110-240V and can be used in vertical or horizontal electrical sockets by rotating the pins. Activate the plug-in by pressing the red switch to the on position.
This plug-in device is only to be used with recommended vaporising medium. The use of other substances may give rise to toxic or fire risk. For best results turn on 2 hours before retiring to bed. Ideal for use in a room up to 15M².
This Status Mosquito Repellent Plug In is designed for anyone seeking a convenient way to protect their living spaces from mosquitoes and biting insects. Its key benefit is providing continuous protection through heat-activated vaporization of repellent. A potential caveat is its effectiveness being best suited for rooms up to 15M².

FAQs
How long does a repellent cartridge last?
The duration a cartridge lasts depends on usage and environmental factors, but typically provides protection for a specified number of hours or nights as indicated on the cartridge packaging.
Can I use this device in any room?
This device is most effective in enclosed rooms up to 15 square meters. For larger or open-plan areas, multiple units or alternative methods may be necessary.
Is the odor strong?
The device releases a specific odor from the active ingredients. While designed to be effective, some users may notice the scent. It is recommended to test in a small area first if you are sensitive to odors.
What voltage does the device support?
The device automatically adjusts to operate on voltages ranging from 110V to 240V, making it suitable for international use.
How do I know when to replace the repellent cartridge?
The effectiveness will diminish as the active ingredient depletes. You may notice an increase in insect activity, or the liquid level in the cartridge will be visibly low. Refer to the cartridge packaging for expected lifespan.
Can I use the device continuously?
The device is designed for continuous use as needed, following the recommended activation times for optimal results and cartridge longevity. Always ensure proper ventilation.
What should I do if the device overheats?
If the device feels excessively hot, unplug it immediately and allow it to cool. Ensure it is not covered or placed near flammable materials. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
Device is not turning on.
Ensure the device is firmly plugged into a working electrical socket. Check that the red switch is in the 'on' position. Try a different outlet to confirm the socket is functional.
No noticeable repellent odor.
Verify that the cartridge is correctly inserted and locked. Ensure the red switch is on. Allow up to 30 minutes for the heat technology to fully vaporize the active ingredient. Check if the cartridge needs replacement.
Poor insect repellent performance.
Confirm the room size is within the recommended limit (up to 15M²). Ensure windows and doors are closed to maintain concentration. Check for adequate ventilation, as excessive airflow can disperse the repellent too quickly. Replace the cartridge if it is old or depleted.
Device pins do not fit the socket.
Rotate the pins of the plug-in device to match the orientation of the electrical socket (vertical or horizontal).
