HARDWARE INSTALLATION

• Open the battery compartment at the bottom of the feeder (fig.1), 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 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.
• Rotate the knob on the top cover (fig.2). 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 using only dry food within 5–15mm in size. Wet food and damp food are strictly prohibited from being placed in the feeder.
• For your pet’s health, please wash the feeding bucket and feeding tray regularly. The feeder body should not be filled with water. Please wipe it with a wring-able wet cloth.

FAQ

• Q1: Why did the feeder fail to connect to my Wi-Fi network?
  • A: You can try to add the feeder via AP mode instead of QR code mode and auto scan.
• Q2: Why does the feeder feed at the wrong time?
  • A: Please check that the time zone of the feeder is correct. Refer to the “Advanced Settings” section.
• Q3: Why does it always prompt that food is blocking the feeding tray when this is not the case?
  • A: Once food falls into the tray, the feeder will wait for 10 minutes for the pet to eat the food. If the pet does not come to eat during this time, the feeder will send a message that food is blocking the feeding tray. If the pet ate the food after 10 minutes, you will still receive the message. It is also possible that food is stuck in the food slot. If that is the case, clean the food slot.
• • Q4: Why is the indicator LED still flashing after I disabled it?
  • • A: When it is feeding, the indicator LED cannot be disabled.
• • Q5: Why is the screen black or the video freezes when the feeder is online?
  • • A: It depends on the network status. This may happen if the feeder’s Wi-Fi network is not good or the phone is connected to an unstable network. You can try to switch to a lower resolution to improve this.
