Sure Flap MICROCHIP CAT FLAP Manual De Uso página 19

Symptom: Short battery lifetime
- Ensure the tunnel and sensor lenses are clean (see section 12).
- Check that there are no obvious sources of electrical noise in the area e.g. faulty
flickering lights, etc (see section 4).
Symptom: Catch takes about 10 seconds to close
- Occasionally the sensor that detects the presence of the cat in the tunnel needs to
reset itself, which takes approximately 10 seconds to register. This is quite normal,
however if this starts to happen often then check that the lenses and tunnel are clean
(see section 12).
Symptom: Cat is put off by the noise of the catch
- Your cat will learn to love their SureFlap
off by the noise of the catch opening, particularly if they are not used to using a
selective entry flap. If they do not adjust immediately to the use of SureFlap
the following process to coax them into using it. With a bit of persistence all cats will
learn to use the flap.
- First follow the instructions in section 11 and leave SureFlap
them to start using it without any noise from the catch.
- Once your cats are used to SureFlap
unwilling to use it then prop the flap open with the door facing inside the house. A
simple method here is to use tape between the bottom of the flap and the top of the
main assembly. This will allow then to get used to the opening click while also having
an inviting open hole to go through.
-
Finally let the door swing shut and allow them to start using the flap. Strategic
positioning of food inside/outside the house can also help encourage the initial use of
the flap.
Symptom: Flap does not lock quickly enough
- A very persistent and intelligent intruder can occasionally learn to follow your cat
inside before the lock has a chance to close. In order to help avoid this happening
there is a built in mode with a faster closing lock. Details are given below.
- Remove the batteries and leave the unit for 2 minutes to power down. Before re-
installing the batteries, press and hold the memory button. Next install the batteries
while holding down the memory button. Finally release the memory button and the unit
will be in the mode with a faster closing lock. Note that you will need to carry out this
process every time the batteries are replaced.
