Battery operation alone. For reliable and fast operation we recommend the use of the external power supply included with the
Petporte smart fl ap ® . However, an optional 9-volt PP3 battery may be plugged in so that during power cuts your cat will still be
able to use the cat fl ap. We recommend the use of a good quality non-rechargeable lithium battery in order to give the longest
battery life. Please note that there are certain options that are not available when the Petporte smart fl ap

purchasing additional Extension Tunnels. Extension Tunnels can be stacked together by glueing and pushing them together.
Is there a large step down from your door? The ideal height of the cat fl ap is such that the base of the unit is at the same height
as your cat's stomach. However, due to door construction, it may not always be possible to mount any cat fl ap this low and in

as it is not going to become a tripping hazard for people).

tall? If an existing opening in your door or wall is greater than these dimensions, then it is acceptable to fi t the Petporte smart fl ap

the Petporte smart fl ap ® may be fi tted by replacing the door panel or constructing panels to cover the existing opening so that a
smaller opening can be cut.

hole you will cut in your door and that the frame of the cat fl ap will be
slightly lower. If necessary, this line may have to be raised slightly to
account for this.
