1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap.
The Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap allows entry for up to 30 cats
into your property. It also allows you to control the exit of all
your pets using a 4 way lock.
This cat flap is suitable for all popular microchips. Alternatively
it may be operated by a Cat Mate I.D. Disc (available
separately). You may wish to use an I.D. Disc for cats without a
microchip or in the event that your cat's microchip is faulty or
poorly positioned.
2. Fitting the Batteries
2.1 Remove the battery cover by pushing the battery cover
upwards (see Fig. 3).
2.2 Insert 4 x AA (R6) batteries using the orientation symbols
marked on the inside of the battery compartment. Partially
replace battery cover to leave PROGRAM button (G, Fig. 1)
exposed for programming.
2.3 The cat flap will self check for up to 30 seconds and then
the flap is ready to program.
All popular batteries can be used including rechargeable
batteries, but the battery warning (Section 6) will only work
correctly with alkaline batteries. Good quality alkaline batteries
should last approximately 12 months (depending on number of
cats and usage). You MUST NOT use lithium batteries.
