Batteries - Sure Flap Microchip Cat Flap Gebrauchsanweisung

6.5 Electrical interference
The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap contains a sensitive radio receiver to pick up the signal
from your cat's microchip. In rare instances, excessive levels of electrical interference
can cause the range of the system to degrade. Avoid the following situations:
1. The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap should not be used in the vicinity of other microchip
readers or similar low frequency devices. These are particularly detrimental to performance
and may prevent normal operation.
2. Avoid obvious sources of electrical noise such as faulty, flickering lights.
3. Avoid trailing mains cables and DC mains adaptors very close to the SureFlap Microchip
Cat Flap.
If you suspect electrical interference may be affecting the performance of your SureFlap Microchip
Cat Flap please contact customer service for assistance.

7. Batteries

The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap requires 4x AA 1.5V batteries. With normal usage, one set
of batteries will typically last for at least 6 months
batteries have run out and is described in section 10.
After inserting the batteries, leave the unit for about 10 seconds before allowing a cat into the
tunnel - this allows the electronic sensors to settle properly.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries with the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap
in order to give the longest lifetime. We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries because
they generally produce a lower voltage which may cause the low battery indicator light to flash,
even when the batteries do not need recharging.
