Powering the pet feeder

This pet feeder can be powered via batteries or the included power adapter. If powering by batteries, insert 3x D batteries (not included) into the bottom of the main body. Turn the power switch on.

If using the power adapter, plug the cable end into the DC power port, and the other into a pocket socket. Turn the power on.

Notes:

• If powered by batteries, the pet feeder will only dispense food based on the scheduled feeding times set by users on the SmarterHomeTM app. The pet feeder will appear as offline.
• If users wish to gain full functionality, or change any settings using the SmarterHomeTM app, use the power adapter to power the pet feeder.

1. Connect the pet feeder with the SmarterHomeTM app as above.

2. Press the lock button to lift the top cover and reveal the feed hopper.

3. Pour pet food into the feed hopper. Press down on the cover to lock.

4. Push the food tray under the pet feeder.

5. Open the SmarterHomeTM app and press “Feed”. Choose the number of portions you would like dispensed. Upon confirming, the pet food will be released into the food tray.

Scheduling multiple feeds
In the SmarterHomeTM app, you can schedule times for the pet feeder to dispense food for your pet.
Tap “Schedule” to add feeding times. Various feeding times and their respective portions can be set. Tap “Save” after each scheduling each meal. You can set up to 4 meals and 10 portions per meal.
In the overview displaying all pre-scheduled times, you can also activate or deactivate individual times.

Voice recording
You may also record a short 10 second recording that is activated whenever your pet has their scheduled feeding time. Tap “voice “recording” to record.

Notifications centre
In the “Message Center” under the “Me” tab in the SmarterHomeTM app, you can manage, activate or deactivate notifications.
