5. Fitting I.D. Disc(s) to your Cat(s)

5.1 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.
5.2 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.).
6. 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 and holding the 'PROGRAM' button and within
3 seconds press and release the '4 WAY' button.

After 5 seconds the lock will unlock and the 'PROGRAM' button should then be
released. The 'IN & OUT' symbol (Fig. 6) will flash at 15 second intervals.
Please be aware that in Training Mode your cat flap will allow access for other
animals.
To exit the 'TRAINING MODE', press and hold the 'PROGRAM' button and
within 3 seconds press and release the '4 WAY' button. After 5 seconds the flap
will re-lock and the 'PROGRAM' button should then be released.
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 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.

7. Battery Replacement

When the ' ' indicator flashes, alkaline batteries should be replaced.
(See Section 2).
Please note, after fitting new batteries the Battery warning may take up to 15
minutes to disappear.

8. Factory Reset

To reset the cat flap back to the setting when you first bought it, press and hold
the 'PROGRAM' button and within 3 seconds press and release the '4 WAY'
button, then press and release the 'SET' button. Finally the 'PROGRAM' button
can be released. This procedure will erase all I.D. Disc(s) / microchip(s) and all
other settings. You will then need to re-programme the I.D. Disc(s) / microchip(s)
(See Section 3).

9. Troubleshooting

9.1 Cat will not use the flap
It may take time for timid cats to learn how to use the cat flap - even if
they have used another cat flap before.
• First try using 'TRAINING MODE' (See Section 6).
• You may disable the energy saving mode so your cat will find it easier to
use the flap (although battery consumption is increased) as follows:
Press and hold the 'PROGRAM' button and within 3 seconds press and
release the 'SET' button. When the display flashes release the
'PROGRAM' button.
