SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Battery installation / bowl alignment
1.1 Remove feeder lid by pressing down lid and pushing in
the sprung clips on both sides (Fig. 3). Lift the food bowl
off the feeder base and remove the battery cover by
releasing the retaining clip (Fig. 4).
1.2 Insert 3 x AA batteries using the orientation symbols
marked on the inside of the compartment. Replace the
battery cover.
After a short period of self testing, the clock ( 3 , Fig. 2)
will show 12:00 AM outlined by a highlight frame with
four feeding time indicators ( 5 - 8 , Fig. 2), showing
– – : – – beneath.
Temporarily replace the food bowl and lid. If the lid and bowl
are not correctly aligned, remove lid then press ADJ/SET
and UP buttons together to 3 seconds to achieve alignment.
Good quality alkaline batteries should normally last
approximately 12 months (dependent on use). You may use
all popular batteries including rechargeable and 1.5v lithium
batteries but the low battery indicator will only work correctly
with standard alkaline batteries.
2. Setting the clock
NOTE: To change clock between 24 hour and 12 hour
(AM/PM) formats, press and hold the ADJ/SET button
together with the DOWN arrow button until the format
changes.
If at any point during setting a button is not pressed within
30 seconds, all digits will stop flashing and any adjustments
made will revert to default/previous settings.
2.1 If necessary, move the highlight frame to outline the
clock display using the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To
set the clock, press and hold the ADJ/SET button for 5
seconds until the hour figure starts to flash. Press the
UP or DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the clock to the
correct hour.
2.2 Press the ADJ/SET button and the minute figure will
flash. Adjust using the UP or DOWN arrow buttons.
Press ADJ/SET to save the setting.
3. Meal time setting
The C500 feeder will automatically serve meals at the same
time(s) every day once you have set the required meal
times. For example, if you require one meal a day you need
only set the time for MEAL 1 to allow feeding up to 4 days.
If you require 2 meals each day you will need to set the
times of MEAL 1 and MEAL 2 to allow feeding up to 2 days.
You may set up to 4 meals per day.
Set your pet's required daily meal times as follows:
NOTE: Meal times will automatically sort into chronological
order. The next meal will be served at the next set meal time,
e.g. in Fig. 5 the current time is 15:00, so the next meal will
be served at 17:00.
3.1 Press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to move the
highlight frame to MEAL 1. Press and hold the ADJ/SET
button for 3 seconds until the MEAL 1 hours starts to
flash. Set the hours for MEAL 1 using the UP or DOWN
arrow buttons. Press ADJ/SET to save setting.
3.2 The minute figure will flash. Adjust using the UP or
DOWN arrow buttons. Press ADJ/SET to save setting.
NOTE: Meal times can only be set in 10 minute
increments.
Repeat 3.1 and 3.2 for remaining daily meals if required.
3.3 To cancel a meal time setting use the UP or DOWN
arrow buttons to highlight frame the relevant meal time.
Press and hold the ADJ/SET button until meal time
flashes. Then press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons
together until the time disappears and display
shows – – : – – .
4. Testing your C500 feeder
Your C500 feeder is manufactured from top quality materials
and is assembled to comply with rigorous quality standards.
Consequently, it should give you many years dependable
use. However, we recommend you ensure its correct
operation with your cat(s) while you are in attendance by
completing set up as follows:
4.1 Fill the required number of bowls, starting clockwise
from '1' (only fill bowl '0' if an immediate meal is
required). Take care not to overfill the food bowls in
order that the rotating lid is not fouled.
4.2 Insert two pre-frozen ice packs and replace food bowl
aligning '0' on food bowl (B1, Fig. 1) with '0' on base unit
(D1, Fig. 1). (If the '0' on the food bowl does not align
with the '0' on the base unit, press the ADJ/SET and UP
arrow buttons together for 3 seconds to achieve
alignment.)
4.3 Finally, replace feeder lid ensuring the sprung clips on
each side click into position and place unit in required
position. The meal in the bowl numbered '1' will be
served at the next programmed meal time.
4.4 Always turn feeder off after use (see Section 9 below).
5. Especially for cats
When leaving your cat, do not forget to make adequate toilet
arrangements for it. Cats and particularly kittens, should not
be left alone for long periods without someone to check
periodically that all is well. We also recommend the use of
a CAT MATE fountain for supply of fresh water.
6. Especially for dogs
Most small dogs will readily adapt to an automatic feeder,
but you are recommended to supervise your dog's first few
encounters to ensure that it is unlikely to damage the unit
- which may be a problem with puppies.

When leaving your dog, do not forget to make adequate
toilet arrangements for it. Dogs, and particularly puppies,
should not be left alone for long periods without someone
to check periodically that all is well. We also recommend
the use of a DOG MATE fountain for supply of fresh water.
For extra stability the feeder may be attached to a wooden
baseplate as follows:
6.1 Remove the feeder lid and food bowl. Place feeder in
desired position on wooden board, locate the moulded-
in retaining clips (F, Fig. 1) and mark a screw hole
using a suitable screw down through the centre of each
hole. (Fig 6).
6.2 Break out the retaining clips by carefully cutting
retaining webs with a sharp knife (Fig. 7).
6.3 Replace clips in holes with the flat side of the clip
uppermost and screw to board at marked screw
positions using suitable screws (Fig. 8).
6.4 Turn clips to lock/unlock feeder to wooden base
(Fig. 9).
7. Hints on food storage
Your C500 feeder is designed for use with all pet foods.
The C500 should always be used with its ice packs unless
the surrounding temperature is less than 5°C. (40°F.). To
freeze the ice packs before use, place in a freezer for at
least 6 hours. Spare ice packs are available from your
dealer or directly from www.pet-mate.com.
When using your C500 feeder with wet food, ensure that
the food comes from a freshly opened can/pack. If the
weather is very warm, you are advised not to leave wet
food for long periods and may prefer to serve dry food,
which has better keeping qualities. If in doubt, please
consult the manufacturer of your cats' wet food.
8. Positioning of feeder
The C500 feeder should be used indoors or in a garage or
outbuilding and should be placed in a cool corner, shaded
from sunlight and away from moisture.
9. Turning the feeder off and on
To turn off the feeder and keep the programmed settings,
press and hold the UP and DOWN arrow buttons together
until 'OFF' is displayed on the LCD. Repeat the procedure
to turn the feeder back on.
10. Changing the batteries
When the low battery indicator ( 2 , Fig. 2.) flashes on the
LCD, alkaline batteries need replacing.
IMPORTANT:
• To keep the clock and all the meal settings, you must
remove and replace all of the batteries within 60 seconds!
• DO NOT press any buttons during the removal or
replacement of the batteries. Doing so will reset the unit
and you will need to re-programme your settings.
• It is recommended to remove the batteries when the
feeder is not to be used for prolonged periods.
11. Cleaning
The C500 feeder is very easy to clean. The lid and bowl
may be washed in a dishwasher. The base unit can be
wiped with a damp cloth. Under no circumstances should
the base unit be immersed in water.
