WOPET PP005 6L Automatic Cat Feeder

Hardware installation and introduction

1. Open the battery compartment at the bottom of the feeder, insert the Micro USB power cord into the connector at the bottom; and extend the power cord out along the designed wire guide. You can also insert 3 pieces of D cell batteries which will enable the feeder to work automatically according to your scheduled feeding plan even without an external power supply. Turn on the power switch.

Battery
The back-up battery is designed as a short-term alternative for when the external power supply is cut. When the pet feeder works on battery back-up, it will go into sleep mode and some functions will be limited:
a. When there is battery supply only, the feeding voice recording will be played only once before feeding the pets. It will not play during feeding.
b. When there is battery supply only, the feeder’s Wi-Fi connection will be disconnected. All the operations on the App will be unavailable.
These measures are designed to save battery energy to ensure that the pet feeder can keep working for a long time.

2. Rotate the knob on the top cover. The feeding tray is in the grain bucket. Place the feeding tray into the feeder from the front, then pour pet food into the feeder.

Note: Due to the wide variety of pet foods on the market, it cannot be guaranteed 100% that the mechanical structure of the feeder will fit all types of pet food. We recommend to use only dry food within 5-15mm in size. Wet food and damp food are strictly prohibited from being placed in the feeder.

3. For your pet’s health, please wash the grain bucket and feeding tray regularly. The feeder body should not be filled with water. Please wipe it with a wring-able wet cloth.
