Electrical Interference; Batteries - SURE petcare DualScan Microchip Cat Flap Notice D'utilisation

6.5 Electrical interference

The DualScan cat flap contains a sensitive radio receiver to pick up the signal from
your cat's microchip. In rare instances, excessive levels of electrical interference
can cause the range of the system to degrade. Avoid the following situations:
1. The DualScan cat flap should not be used in the vicinity of other microchip readers or
similar low frequency devices. These are particularly detrimental to performance and
may prevent normal operation.
2. Avoid obvious sources of electrical noise such as faulty, flickering lights.
3. Avoid trailing mains cables and DC mains adaptors very close to the DualScan cat flap.
If you suspect electrical interference may be affecting the performance of your DualScan
cat flap please contact customer service for assistance.

7. Batteries

The DualScan cat flap requires 4x AA 1.5V batteries. With normal usage, one set of
batteries will typically last for at least 6 months
batteries have run out and is described in section 10.
After inserting the batteries, leave the unit for about 10 seconds before allowing a cat into
the tunnel - this allows the electronic sensors to settle properly.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries with the DualScan cat flap in
order to give the longest lifetime. We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries
because they generally produce a lower voltage which may cause the low battery indicator
light to flash, even when the batteries do not need recharging.
