The cat flap operates using your cat's unique microchip or a Pet Mate I.D. Disc (sold separately). It can store up to 30 unique microchip IDs.
- To program a microchip, ensure the cat flap is powered on (batteries installed, not included).
- Press and hold the programming button (refer to manual for exact location, usually near the microchip reader).
- Gently guide your cat's head through the flap opening so its microchip passes the reader. A confirmation sound or light will indicate successful programming.
- Répétez l'opération pour tous les chats auxquels vous souhaitez donner accès.
