Ahmad, these are magnets.
According to what we requested; how we set it… we stick it like this to the car.
Alright?
But if you want to place it on the ground at the entrance, you have to put it on the side like this.
On the target; the magnet goes on the target.
Meaning, like this on the target, facing the target.
Alright, Ahmad?
It means, you can’t place it like this, or like this.
You place it like this, facing the entrance, when it passes by.
Alright? That is first.
Second, as soon as you receive it, before 24 hours… or before 10 hours.
In the morning, for example.
You open it slowly.
Very slowly.
And put it down.
You take out this strip.
And you take out this strip.
This tape…
When you unwind this tape…
Your see this “ON” here? It’s written here “ON”
This, you push it on that side, it becomes operational.
A green light here will be turned on.
It will be turned on, it tells you: I’m ready.
When you unwind this tape here, a connector like this one will appear.
Like this connector.
This connector, you attach it like this.
Not like this… but like this.
You attach like this.
Once you’ve connected it like this, it is ready.
I’ve placed it like this now.
Second Video:
…to upper side, on the sign on this paper…
Once you’ve pushed it, it is ready to explode.
You see this red arrow here? Here, here and here; red arrow.
That would be the direction where the bastards go.
You turn it like this.
Now this arrow has become this way.
You place it like that.
There is a short strip.
You place the strip outside, here.
The strip will be here on the outside. Or here, doesn’t matter. Cover it on the side.
Once you’ve covered it like this, it’s just a regular stone.
After you’ve left it, its battery will last for a few days.
Then there is a small red switch here.
You push it on either side.
A light here will be tuned on.
The red button…
You push it for a few seconds, it explodes.
That is the operation.
I’ve sent you two these.
Now start working.
