Batteries And Low Battery Indicator - SURE petcare Microchip Pet Door Manual De Uso

8. Batteries and Low Battery Indicator

The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door requires four C type batteries. With normal usage, one
set of batteries will typically last for at least 6 months . There are battery compartments on
2
each side of the pet door, each hold two batteries. The batteries should be inserted with
the negative terminal at the top. To insert the batteries place the first battery in and push it
to the top of the compartment. Whilst holding this battery up place the other battery in and
push it down.
After inserting the batteries, leave the unit for about 10 seconds before allowing a pet into
the tunnel - this allows the electronic sensors to settle properly.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries with the SureFlap Microchip Pet
Door in order to give the longest lifetime. If using re-chargeable batteries please select
custom mode two (see section 14).
8.1 Low Battery Indicator
Batteries last typically for at least 6 months with normal levels of use. When the batteries
are nearing the end of their life, the low battery indicator activates. The battery level
indicator on the LCD screen will show as low and the indicator light will blink red. The unit
will continue to operate when the low battery indicator is on, however the batteries should
be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
2 Based on normal usage. Note that heavy usage by many cats may reduce battery lifetime.
