Finally, I literally have no clue what anything does. The directions are awful and completely generic - sure, I get some knob controls various ghost sound choices, but WHICH ones are they? Why can’t they label that setting 1 is Slimer, 2 is a Terror Dog, etc. Why can’t they label GB1 and GBII modes? So many of the nuances aren’t articulated worth a damn in their literature and after all this wait, it’s like they expect us to somehow know or just rely on “figure it out yourself!”. This is pretty crappy coming from a company like Hasbro - everything should be laid out in writing and labeled with minutiae. With the NFC stuff, there is nothing mentioned about how to get the trap to interact with the PKE, or if it would with a wand either. How is a customer supposed to even know about these features and HOW to work them? The directions are the most useless words I’ve read from a professional company.
Now for the good - the tubing and wire they used for the trap is fantastic. I love that it coils easily and still feels robust. They truly chose a great combination here and I commend them highly on that design note. It’s also awesome you can slide the inner trap body out just like you were putting it in containment.
I know, the instructions are difficult to read when the type font is nearly visible. Luckily, user Craig from the ‘Yes, Have Some’ podcast over on the Ghostbusters reddit posted these cheat sheets a while back. I hope this helps, somewhat!

EDIT: I added the GB1 and GB2 notations for the screen animations just for fun.
Low Ionization (indoors use) and High Ionization (outdoors use) labels are canon
