Batteries And Low Battery Indicator - Sure Petcare SureFlap Gebrauchsanweisung

8. Batteries and Low Battery Indicator

The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door requires four C type batteries. With normal usage, one set
of batteries will typically last for at least 6 months . There are battery compartments on each
2
side of the pet door, each hold two batteries. The batteries should be inserted with the negative
terminal at the top. To insert the batteries place the first battery in and push it to the top of the
compartment. Whilst holding this battery up place the other battery in and push it down.
After inserting the batteries, leave the unit for about 10 seconds before allowing a pet into the
tunnel - this allows the electronic sensors to settle properly.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries with the SureFlap Microchip
Pet Door in order to give the longest lifetime. If using re-chargeable batteries please select
custom mode two (see section 14).
8.1 Low Battery Indicator
Batteries last typically for at least 6 months with normal levels of use. When the batteries are
nearing the end of their life, the low battery indicator activates. The battery level indicator on
the LCD screen will show as low and the indicator light will blink red. The unit will continue to
operate when the low battery indicator is on, however the batteries should be replaced at the
earliest opportunity.
2 Based on normal usage. Note that heavy usage by many cats may reduce battery lifetime.
