1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cat Mate Timer Control Cat Flap.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE CAT FLAP BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT.
The Cat Mate Timer Control Cat Flap allows you to choose the times you do not
wish your cat(s) to go out through the flap to avoid high risk periods, e.g. high traffic,
night time, etc. A secure rotary 5 way lock allows you complete control of your cat's
movement through the flap.

3. Fitting the batteries
3.1 Remove the battery cover by pushing up the retaining clip and pulling out
(Fig. 9).
3.2 Insert 2 x AA batteries using the orientation symbols marked on the inside of the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3.3 The cat flap will self test for approximately 10 seconds after which the clock will
show 0:00.
Good quality alkaline batteries should normally last approximately 24 months

batteries but the low battery indicator will only work correctly with standard
alkaline batteries.
