Maintenance - SURE petcare Microchip Pet Door Manual De Uso

15. Maintenance

The sensor that detects the presence of a pet in the tunnel is optical and is situated on
the inside roof of the tunnel, close to the flap. If these lenses become obscured by dirt,
unreliable operation and/or shortened battery lifetime may result. Wipe these lenses with a
damp cloth every couple of months.
Operation of the sensor relies on a reflection from the base of the tunnel, which should also
be kept reasonably clean. If you have a brown SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, please ensure
the silver reflective sticker is kept free from dirt. If you notice that the sticker is missing
please contact Sure Petcare customer service or replace with the spare sticker provided.
When cleaning your SureFlap Microchip Pet Door– please ensure to remove all hair from
the top draught excluder on the door. A build-up of pet hair on this area of the door can
obstruct the lenses of the pet door, causing the unit to be permanently scanning, and
therefore drain the batteries.
After cleaning, leave the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door for approximately 10 seconds for the
unit to settle before normal operation returns.
