Initial Set-Up and Use

• The Yankee Flipper is shipped with the batteries in a discharged condition.
• Check to ensure that the activation switch is in the OFF position.
• Remove the base of your Yankee Flipper by twisting counterclockwise (viewed from bottom). A distinct click will be felt, and the base can be lowered from the feeder.
• Place the base in a location that is out of reach of children and where it will not be dropped or knocked over. It should be charged indoors only and at room temperature.
• Insert the charger output plug into the input jack located at the top of the power-stick. Never loop cord through the perch-ring.
• Plug the charger into a standard household electrical outlet. 120 volts, 60Hz only.
• Initial charge time should be at least 14 hours but not more than 24 hours. Repeated undercharging can result in a battery condition known as "memory" to occur. Overcharging can damage the batteries, resulting in shortened battery life. The Yankee Flipper is powered by premium Panasonic® batteries and should provide many years of trouble-free service.
• Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet and store in a safe place when charging is complete.
• Insert the base into the feeder by aligning any one of the three arrows on the underside of the base with the left hash mark on the side of the feeder port. Twist the base clockwise (viewed from bottom) until it clicks into place.
• Fill the feeder with sunflower seed, safflower, sunflower hearts or your favorite specialty mix. Premium black oil sunflower seed is highly recommended as it is very nutritious and attracts the widest variety of birds.
• Hang your feeder securely on a rigid hook. Attach a Droll Yankees Locking Chain for added security.
• Turn the activation switch to the ON position. Do not contact the perch-ring. If one of the four perch spokes is obstructing access to the activation switch, the perch can be rotated by hand with the switch in the OFF position.
