5. Fitting I.D. Disc(s) to your Cat(s)
5.1 If desired, record your cat's details on the I.D. label by writing on the label in pen
and sticking the clear waterproof cover over the writing.
5.2 IMPORTANT: Attach the I.D. Disc directly to the collar, NOT from a ring attached
to the collar) so that it is as high as possible and parallel to flap (as shown in
Fig. 14).
We recommend the use of a fabric collar without large metal attachments (other name
discs etc.).
6. Training Your Cat to Use the Cat Flap (or if Your Cat Has Lost its I.D. Disc)
It may take a little time for your cat to get used to its new cat flap. To help your cat get
used to entering and exiting the flap, the flap can be set to 'TRAINING MODE' by
pressing and holding the 'PROG' button and within 3 seconds briefly pressing the
'4 WAY' button.
After 5 seconds the lock will unlock and the 'PROG' button should then be released.
The 'IN & OUT' symbol will remain flashing.
Please be aware that in 'TRAINING MODE' your cat flap will allow access for other
animals.
To exit the 'TRAINING MODE', press and hold the 'PROG' button and within
3 seconds briefly press the '4 WAY' button. After 5 seconds the flap will re-lock and
the 'PROG' button should then be released.
For very hesitant cats, whilst in the 'TRAINING MODE', use food to encourage the cat
to enter and exit the flap.
NOTE: We do NOT recommend that cats, particularly kittens, are left alone to use
their cat flap until you are satisfied that they are completely familiar with its operation.
If your cat still has difficulty using the cat flap after successfully using training mode,
you may wish to disable high security mode temporarily or permanently to enable
easier entry/exit by your cat (See Section 13).
7. Viewing Your Cat's Location
The LCD shows at a glance, the location of up to three cats (1-3).
The cat last went through the
flap, coming into the house.
Please note this display is only a guide to your cats' location. The cat flap determines
the location of your cat by recording its last movement through the cat flap. The results
may be misleading if the cat has an alternative entrance/exit to the house or if the cat
has followed another cat through the cat flap; if it only puts its nose out of the
cat flap etc.
The cat last went through the
flap, going out of the house.
