6. Learn Mode
To start operation, the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door needs to learn the unique ID code
of your pet's microchip. This process is only required once for each pet, as the code is
permanently stored, even if the batteries are removed. Follow the simple step-by-step guide
below to carry out this process:
1.
Remove the button cover. Press the learn button (
release. See Figure 1.
2.
The locks will open, allowing a pet to pass through in either direction. A further
indication that the unit is in learn mode is the flashing of the icons on the LCD screen.
3.
The next pet to pass through the flap from either direction, or to put its head into the
tunnel with its nose up to the door, will have its microchip number stored in the memory.
4.
Once a pet's microchip number has been successfully learnt, the pet door reverts to
normal operation and the LCD screen will stop flashing. Once your pet moves away
from the pet door the locks will close.
For multiple pets, repeat the process until all pets' microchip numbers have been learnt.
The microchip numbers of up to 32 different pets can be stored in memory. Replace the
button cover when the learn process has been completed for each pet.
This method of learning is particularly convenient for uncooperative pets! Rather than
having to find your pet and pass it through the flap, you can simply set it to learn mode and
leave until it next decides to go through or put its head up to the door of its own free will.
To cancel learn mode (e.g. after pressing the learn button accidentally) simply press the
learn button (
) again for around 1 second and the unit will revert to normal operation.
In order to learn a pet's microchip number, a sensor located in the tunnel must
detect a pet's presence to trigger the microchip reader. Therefore it is important to
ensure that your pet either puts its head into the tunnel or passes through the flap.
No amount of waving your pet in front of the door will have an effect.
To learn the Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag carry out steps one to three above. Hold the
collar tag in your hand and then place your hand inside the tunnel of the SureFlap Microchip
Pet Door making sure that you touch the door. The unique code of the collar tag will be
stored in the memory after a few seconds.
