Get Started with your New Automatic Feeder

Install Batteries

1.  Turn the green knob on the lid from the lock ( ) to the unlock ( ) position to release it.

2. Remove the lid and flip it upside down. You will see two separate compartments, one large and one small.

3. Open both battery lids by pressing in the latches and pulling straight up. Fit the batteries into their designated spaces in the compartments.

4. Close the battery compartment covers and make sure the latches snap securely into place.

5. Install the lid by fitting the protruding shaft on the feeder compartment into the corresponding circular opening on the underside of the lid. You may have to spin the lid a
   little to get the shaft to settle into place.

6. Turn the green knob on the lid from the unlock position ( ) to the lock position ( ) to securely fasten it in place.

NOTE : Always use four batteries of the same brand and type. Always check batteries and battery wrappings before installing them in the device. Do not mix used and new batteries.

Turn on the Feeder & Set the Time

1. Lift the green cover on the control panel and press the power button. If you have trouble with the display cover, try pressing the slightly raised green square on the cutout around the display panel and lifting up.

2. When the device is switched on, the time will automatically begin to flash 12:00 AM. This will happen every time the device is powered off and
   back on.

3. Press the ENTER button once to set the current time. On the LCD display, you should see the hour (12:) start flashing.
   

4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the hour. The time will automatically change between AM and PM as you navigate. Make sure you select the correct hour (e.g., 6 AM or 6 PM), or else your feeding schedule may not work correctly. Press the ENTER button again to confirm.
   

5. The minutes (:00) should start flashing. Use the up and down arrows to set the minutes. When the time displayed on the device is correct, press the ENTER button one last time to confirm the time and end the process.
   

NOTE : Whenever the device is powered off, the time will reset to 12:00 AM, and you will need to reset the time using this process when the device is turned back on. However, the feeder will not reset your feeding schedules upon powering down.

Setting Meals & Meal Sizes

1. Press the ENTER button and hold it down for three (3) seconds. The word MEALS should begin flashing on the LCD display.
   

2. Press ENTER again and the word BREAKFAST should start flashing. Use the up and down arrows to cycle through BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER.
   

3. Use ENTER to confirm the meal you want to change or set. The meal name (e.g., BREAKFAST) will stop flashing, and the word YES will start flashing.
   a. If you want to set a time for your pet to be fed for this meal, hit ENTER to confirm while YES is flashing and proceed to Step 4.
   b. If you want the feeder to skip this meal entirely, hit the up or down arrow so that the word NO begins to flash, then press ENTER to confirm. You will be returned to the meal settings menu (meal name will be flashing).
   

4. Now that you have selected a meal to edit, the hour on the time display should begin to flash. Use the up and down arrows to select the hour for this meal to be served to your pet. (Again make sure to check the AM/PM display to select the correct hour). Press ENTER to confirm.
   

5. The minutes should now be flashing. Use the up and down arrows to select the correct minute for the meal to be served, then press ENTER to confirm.
   
   Setting Meal Sizes

6. For each meal, you can choose whether the feeder should open a single compartment or multiple compartments. This is indicated by the word BOX on the right side of the LCD display screen. Use the up and down arrows to cycle between one (1), two (2), or three (3) compartments to be opened. Press ENTER to confirm.
   

7. Repeat steps 2-6 until you have programmed times and sizes for all the meals you want to be scheduled. Press and hold the ENTER button until the device beeps twice to confirm and set your programmed meal settings. The names of the meals you have programmed will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
   

8. To manually advance the feeder, press and hold the down arrow for three seconds. The lid will rotate and open the next food compartment.

NOTE : Each compartment holds approximately 1 cup (240 ml) of wet or dry food. If you choose more than one compartment to be opened, the feeder will open sections one after the other at an interval of 10 minutes. For example, let’s say you set BREAKFAST at 6:15 AM and choose BOX 2. The feeder will rotate and open the first compartment at 6:15 AM. The compartment will stay open until 6:25 AM, when it will rotate to open the second compartment.

Please keep this in mind when filling and setting feeding times. If your pet eats dry food slower than wet food, in the above example, you would want to fill container one with wet food and container two with dry food, so he or she has a longer time to eat the dry food until the lid rotates at the designated LUNCH time. Compartment numbers are designated by raised numbers on the bottom of each compartment of the feeding tray.

Additional Information

1. The SERVED counter on the display shows you how many compartments have been opened per cycle. Once the counter reaches six (6), and all compartments have been served, the red LED light on the lid will begin flashing slowly, notifying you to remove the lid and refill the feeding compartments.
   

2. To refill the feeding compartments, turn the green knob above the display cover from the locked ( ) position to the unlocked ( ) position and lift the lid straight up to separate it from the feeding tray.

3. Once the compartments have been refilled, replace the lid, return the green knob to the locked position, and press the START button to reset the SERVED counter to zero (0). Programming will resume normally.

4. Always make sure the LCD display cover is securely fastened after programming to ensure that your pet(s) do not accidentally press buttons and/or change settings.

5. If the LED light is flashing slowly, but the SERVED counter has not reached 6, this indicates that the batteries need to be changed. After changing the batteries (refer back to “Install Batteries” on page 3), you will need to turn the device back on and set the time. You will not need to reprogram the scheduled meals; those are stored in the feeder’s memory and those settings will not change unless you change them.

6. If you will be away for an extended period of time, you should install new batteries in the feeder before leaving. The feeder will continue to operate on a schedule, but you will still need to have someone refill it at the end of each day/meal cycle. Never leave wet food in the feeder overnight or for any extended period of time.

Safety Precautions

1. Remove all packaging before using this device. Some items may be packed in polyurethane bags. Please keep all packaging materials out of reach of children and pets.  Properly dispose of all packing materials immediately after unpacking product, as the bags used for packaging could present a suffocation or choking hazard.
2. Read all instructions carefully before attempting to operate this device. Improper usage could result in your pet(s) not being fed properly or not being fed at all. Improper use or mishandling could also result in permanent damage to your device.
3. Only use this feeder indoors, in a dry place, and on solid, even ground.
4. Do not place the feeder in a closet, in a narrow/confined space, or too close to a wall or other obstructing item. The top section of the feeder rotates a full 360° to expose the different feeding compartments, so your pet needs to be able to access all of the feeding compartments. Placing it too close to your walls or other objects may restrict your pet’s ability to access his or her meals.
5. This product was not intended for use or play by children, and we recommend you do not allow children to play or tamper with it, to reduce the risk of important settings being changed or damage to the feeder and its moving parts. Adult supervision should always be required when children are near the feeder.
6. Do not try to disassemble the feeder or repair it on your own.
7. The lid of the feeder is not dishwasher-safe.
8. The feeding bowls are dishwasher-safe.
9. Remove all batteries if you are not using the feeder for an extended period of time.
10. Do not mix types and brands of batteries in the feeder. Batteries are not included..

Care and Maintenance

• The feeder compartment is dishwasher-safe for your convenience.
• The lid of the feeder is not dishwasher-safe. Do not submerge the lid in water; this could damage the internal electronics and cause the batteries to short out, create an electrical shock, or catch fire. To clean the lid, wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
• Make sure all parts of the feeder are completely dry before refilling and re-assembling the device.
• Exposure to sunlight could damage the internal electronics or cause discoloration; be sure the device is placed in a shady place.
