4.1 Setting Access Options
To set the required access option for your cat(s), proceed as follows:
4.1.1 Press and hold the '4 WAY' button for 5 seconds until the
display flashes.
4.1.2 Repeatedly press the '4 WAY' button to scroll through the
available access options (Fig. 6), until you come to the one you
want.
4.1.3 Press the 'SET' button to save the setting.
5. Testing the 4 Way Lock
To operate the cat flap, you must push the flap and have a programmed I.D.
Disc.
The cat flap will look for an I.D. Disc for 2-6 seconds. (The '
flashes to confirm this). If the I.D. Disc is programmed to allow your cat
access, the flap will be unlocked.
To test the cat flap:
5.1 Set the '4 WAY' lock as 'IN & OUT' (See section 4.1).
5.2 Place the programmed I.D. Disc in front of the cat flap door as shown
in Fig. 5 and push the flap. The flap should then unlock.
5.3 Fully open the flap and allow it to close. You will hear it re-lock.
6
If you repeatedly press the flap without an I.D. Disc being close to the flap,
it will go into 'POWER SAVING' mode. You must wait 15 seconds before
trying again.
(NOTE: Once the flap has been opened, the 'POWER SAVING' mode is
cancelled).
6. Fitting I.D. Disc(s) to your Cat(s)
6.1 If desired, record your cat's details on the I.D. Disc label by writing on
the label in pen and sticking the clear waterproof cover over the
writing.
6.2 IMPORTANT: Attach the Disc directly to the collar, NOT from a ring
attached to the collar) so that it is as high as possible and parallel to
flap (as shown in Fig. 7).
We recommend the use of a fabric collar without large metal attachments,
(other name discs etc.).
7. Training Your Cat to Use the Cat Flap or if Your Cat Has
Lost its I.D. Disc
It may take a little time for your cat to get used to its new cat flap. To help
your cat get used to entering and exiting the flap, the flap can be set to
'TRAINING MODE' by pressing the 'PROGRAM' and '4 WAY' buttons firmly
at the SAME TIME for 5 seconds. The lock will unlock and the 'IN & OUT'
symbol (Fig. 6) will flash at 15 second intervals.
The 'TRAINING MODE' is useful if your cat has lost its collar and the flap can
remain in this mode (Unlocked) until a new collar is purchased.
Please be aware that in Training Mode your cat flap will allow access for
other animals.
To exit the 'TRAINING MODE', press the 'PROGRAM' and '4 WAY' buttons
at the SAME TIME for 5 seconds and the flap will relock.
For very hesitant cats, whilst in the 'TRAINING MODE', the cat flap can
be taped or propped open, and food used to encourage the cat to enter
' symbol
and exit the flap.
NOTE: We do NOT recommend that cats, particularly kittens, are left alone
to use their cat flap until you are satisfied that they are completely familiar
with its operation.
8. Battery Replacement
When the 'LOCKED' indicator flashes the batteries should be replaced.
Good quality Alkaline batteries should normally last approximately 6 to 9
months. (Depending on cat(s) usage and number of cats).
