USER MANUAL Microchip Pet Door Connect SureFlap

EN: User Manual 1-30 DE: Bedienungsanleitung 31-60 FR: Guide d’utilisation 61-90 NL: Handleiding 91-120 User Manual1 Congratulations on the purchase of your new Microchip Pet Door Connect! The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect is one component of the bigger Sure Petcare ‘Connect’ system. The system is made up of three elements: the Microchip Pet Door Connect, the Hub and the Sure Petcare App. All of these elements work together to help you feel more connected to your pets. The Pet Door is the main component of the system. It recognises the microchip already implanted in your pet or the Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag (one included), allowing your pets to access their home whilst keeping out intruder animals. The Hub (sold separately) is the connected element of the system. It connects to your home internet connection and can talk to both the Pet Door and your Sure Petcare app. By using the Sure Petcare app, you’ll be able to see when your pets come in and out of the house, even when you’re away from home. The app also allows you to change your Pet Door settings remotely so, for example, you can make sure your pet is indoors and ready for a cuddle when you get home from work.

pages 9-10 pages 24-307 Because your Microchip Pet Door connect system communicates wirelessly, where you choose to locate your Hub can aect its performance. Here are some tips to find the best place:

• We advise you locate your Hub within 10 metres of where you intend to put your Pet Door. This range could be larger or smaller depending on interference, so please also follow the tips below.
• Keep your Hub as far away as possible from any potential sources of interference, for example: digital cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless video senders etc.
• Where possible, position your Hub so that it is in line-of-sight of your Pet Door – this should improve performance. • Thick walls and a large distance between the Hub and your Pet Door can aect performance.
• Place the Hub so it is roughly 1 metre o the ground, or higher. Preferably on a table or shelf which is as clear of obstructions as possible. • Make sure the Hub isn’t positioned next to any large metal objects - eg. fridges.• Also, don’t position your Hub so that it is near or in line of sight of any large amounts of water such as fish tanks. Moving your Hub closer to your Pet Door: Occasionally your Hub may experience connection issues despite following the above tips, this is likely because there is too much interference. Please see the link below for further advice on how to move your Hub closer to your Pet Door whilst still being able to connect it to the internet.

Connecting your Hub to Sure Petcare The next stage of the set up process is to connect your Hub to your household; this way you will be able to communicate directly with your system. Please follow the steps below: Connect your device to WiFi so it’s using to the same internet network as your Hub. Open the app or go to SurePetcare.io and follow the instructions. When prompted to do so on the app or online, press the button on the base of your Hub. The ears will flash whilst it looks for your device. Wait for both of the ears on your Hub to remain solid green. When both are green, your Hub is successfully connected to your household.

If your Hub loses internet connection for any reason, your Pet Door will still function as normal and retain its settings. Once you’ve set up your Hub and connected it to your household, you will need to add a product. Continue to follow the instructions on the app or see the Pet Door section from page 11. Plug in and set up Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the base of your Hub and the other end into a spare Ethernet port on your router.Assemble the power supply and plug it into your power outlet. Plug the other end of the cable into the base of your Hub.Your Hub’s ‘ears’ will start alternating red and then green. When both ears remain solid green your Hub is ready.

The first stage of the set up process is to plug in and power up your Hub. You will need to be able to plug your Hub into your internet router and a power outlet using the cables provided. Please note: Your Hub may have recently received a soware update. If you see solid red lights during setup, don’t panic, your Hub is updating its soware. Once complete the Hub will reboot and you’ll see the light sequence detailed above. If you see any unspecified lights during set up, or you think something hasn’t worked correctly, please see the Help & support section on page 10.9 Your Hub indicates it’s current state using the lights in its ears, dierent coloured light sequences mean dierent things. For example: Setup lights: Every time the Hub powers up or is trying to connect to other elements of the system, you’ll see the setup lights. The ears will alternate red for a while, then green, once you see a flash of orange and the ears go solid green the Hub is connected. Green ears: Green ears mean the Hub is working correctly. See below for the details of what each light sequence means. Both ears are solid green = Your Hub is turned on, connected and working correctly. Both ears flash twice = A pet has gone through the Pet Door. Alternating green ears = Your Hub is re-connecting to our servers. Red ears: Red ears mean the Hub is having some connectivity issues. For more information on diagnosing these issues, see page 10. Both ears are solid red = Your Hub is doing a Firmware update. Be patient, your Hub will reboot and continue as normal shortly. Both ears flashing red = Your Hub has lost connection with your Pet Door and is trying to reconnect. Alternating red ears = Your Hub is having diiculty connecting to the internet and/or our servers. Connection issues

1. Receiving multiple notifications via the app.

If you are experiencing problems where your Hub or Pet Door keep dropping connection, please try the following:

• Try relocating your Hub. Follow the advice given on page 7 but if that doesn’t work, you will need to move your Hub closer to the Pet Door - read below. • In order to move your Hub closer you could firstly try connecting it to your router using a longer Ethernet cable. This way you will have more distance to play with.• If the above doesn’t work, we recommend purchasing an ‘Ethernet over power adapter’. This will plug into a normal power socket and allow you to connect your Hub to the internet closer to your Pet Door location.• For more detailed advice and instructions please visit: surepetcare.com/hub-connectivity Lights Help & support - the Hub ?10

Switch the power o at the socket, leave it for 30 seconds, and then turn it back on.
• Also try moving your Hub closer to the Pet Door. See point 1. of Connection issues for details. If your connection problems persist, please contact the Sure Petcare Customer Care team (see back cover for details). Slow notifications If you find some messages are slow to appear on your app, this is likely because your Hub is having to work hard to connect to your Pet Door. To improve the speed of messages, try moving your Hub to a better location. Go to surepetcare.com/hub-connectivity for more info. Alternating flashing ears If the ears on your Hub keep continuously alternating red or green, it means it is having problems connecting to the Sure Petcare servers. This could be because it doesn’t have a reliable internet connection.• Try power cycling your Hub by switching the power o at the socket, leaving it for 30 seconds, and then turning it back on. At this point you will see the setup light sequence (see page 9). If the ears remain solid green for a few minutes, the Hub has reconnected.• If the above doesn’t work, make sure your internet router is turned on and that your internet connection is working correctly with other devices.• If it isn’t working with other devices, try switching your router o, leaving it for 30 seconds, and then turning it back on. • If your internet router is working with other devices, try re-connecting the Ethernet cable into the router and the Hub. Make sure it is pushed in all the way, as it can easily appear connected when it isn’t. If the problem persists, contact the Sure Petcare Customer Care team (see back cover for details). Solid red ears If the ears on your Hub are solid red it means your Hub is undergoing a firmware update. • Be patient and wait for the Hub ears to turn green. This shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes.• Once the firmware update is complete the Hub will need to reboot. At this point you will see the setup light sequence (see page 9).• If the red lights persist, or the Hub keeps rebooting, please contact the Sure Petcare Customer Care team (see back cover for details). If you’re having issues with your Pet Door please see Help & support - Pet Door on page 28. If you’re having issues with your Sure Petcare app please visit: surepetcare.com/apphelp11 Pet Door Batteries Always use 4 good quality 1.5V alkaline C cell batteries to ensure the best performance. The battery indicator light (next to the LCD screen) will flash red when the batteries are running low. The Pet Door has 2 battery compartments, one on each side of the product. Remove the battery covers from both sides of the Pet Door.

Insert the first battery into the compartment with the negative end facing up. Push this battery upwards into the compartment and hold it there. Once both batteries are inserted they should fit snugly into the compartment. Now replace the battery cover and repeat the process on the opposite side. Whilst holding the first battery in place, slot the second battery in the space below, making sure the +/- symbols are at the correct orientation.

Buttons & screen Buttons There are six buttons in total on the Pet Door, all of which are located under the button cover at the front of the product. Screen The Pet Door’s LCD screen features are detailed below, but see page 24 for more detailed information about some of the screen graphics in relation to locking modes.AM/PM indicatorBattery indicatorLocking mode directionsee page 25Connection between Pet Door & Hub2 arcs = connectedUnlock timeCurrent timeMicrochip reader enabledLocking mode direction see page 25Time display Settings button - used to connect your Hub and Pet Door (see page 14) and to operate custom settings.Set the time - used to set the current time on your Pet Door - see page 26.‘Add a pet’ button - used to add your pet’s microchip or collar tag ID to the Pet Door - see page 13.Lock mode button - used to manually control the current locking mode of your Pet Door - see page 24.Lock time button - used to manually set the desired locking time when setting up curfews - see page 26.Unlock time button - used when setting up curfews to manually set the desired unlocking time - see page 26.Lock time13 Program your pet into the Pet Door To program your pet’s microchip ID into the Pet Door, you’ll need to get them to put their head inside the Pet Door tunnel so their chip can be read. If you’re adding multiple pets, avoid mixing up microchip IDs by adding each one separately (and making a note of the order you added them). We strongly advise programming all of your pets into the Pet Door before fitting it. We advise that you encourage your pet to put its head back into the tunnel once it’s programmed in. This is to double check that they can open the door reliably. Repeat this process to add more pets. To perform the programming process with the RFID collar tag simply follow steps 1, 2 and 4 above and hold the collar tag inside the tunnel, making sure you touch the clear plastic door. Make sure you are not wearing any metal jewellery when programming a collar tag as this can cause interference. If you want to use the Pet Door for more than one pet, you can add more pets easily by repeating the process. You are able to store up to 32 pets in each Pet Door. If your Pet Door is already installed but you are looking to add an additional pet then press the ‘Add a pet’ button and wait for that pet to go through the door. When the Door is in ‘Add a pet’ mode, the catches at the front of the Pet Door will drop (you will hear a click) and the display on the LCD screen will start flashing.

Remove the button cover to reveal the six buttons on the front of the Pet Door. Press the ‘Add a pet’ button once to activate the ‘Add a pet’ mode.

The Pet Door is now waiting for your pet. Place some dry food or a treat inside the tunnel as close to the clear plastic door as possible. The aim is to encourage your pet to put its head inside the tunnel as if it were coming home.

When your pet enters the tunnel to eat the food, the sensors inside the product activate and the Pet Door saves the chip ID. Once the microchip has been successfully added, the screen display will show the number that has been assigned to the pet, e.g. 01 for the first pet you add and 02 for the second etc. When your pet removes its head from the tunnel the catches on the Door will move up again and the screen will go back to normal.

Connect your Pet Door to your Hub

In order to complete the setup of your Microchip Pet Door Connect system you will need to connect your Pet Door and Hub. This is so that your Pet Door can communicate with your Hub and be controlled remotely using the app. For this process you will need to be on the ‘add a product’ section of the app or Sure Petcare online and your Pet Door will need to be in its intended location (either placed or fitted). You will also need a pen or pencil handy. Open the app or go online, and select ‘Add a product’. This will put your Hub into connecting mode and its ears will start to flash green.When prompted to do so on the app or online, press the settings button on your Pet Door once. The green light will illuminate to show it’s in connecting mode.Once your Hub and Pet Door are connected, this symbol .will appear on the Pet Door’s screen and your Hub’s ears will return to solid green. Once your Hub and Pet Door are connected you can control your Pet Door’s features remotely on the app or Sure Petcare online. Give your Pet Door a name e.g. its location - “Back Door”, and feel free to purchase and add more Sure Petcare connected products to your network. Pet Profiles Now that your Pet Door and Hub are connected, any data stored in your Pet Door can be uploaded directly to your app. This includes any pet ID numbers you have programmed into the Door. Once the app detects these ID numbers you’ll be able to create profiles for your pets. Select your pet’s ID number to create their profile, then add their name etc. and upload a profile picture, or even take a new photo directly through the app. You are able to create profiles for multiple pets, all you need is for their microchip to be programmed into the Pet Door and you’re ready to go. Pet

ofiles15 Your Hub and Pet Door will need to be able to communicate successfully with one another on a daily basis and where you choose to locate your Hub could really eect this communication. Therefore, please read the advise given on page 7 and ensure your Microchip Pet Door Connect system works correctly, with the Pet Door in its intended location, before cutting a hole in your door/wall/window! Where to fit your Pet Door Inside the house It’s important to remember which side of your Pet Door is fitted to the inside of the house and which goes outside. The side of the Pet Door with the SureFlap logo and LCD screen, must be inside. Outside the house Conceal the Pet Door with potted plants as entering onto a large open space can be stressful for some pets.Use potted plants or garden furniture to try and reduce the risk of neighbourhood cats being able to ambush your pet from elevated places.Make sure your Pet Door is fitted at the right height for your pets so it’s easy for them to get in and out. Inside vs outside16

Remember that there are battery compartments on both sides of the Pet Door and that these will both need to be accessible once it’s fitted.Professional fitters are always an excellent choice if you’d rather not fit the Pet Door yourself. We strongly advise contacting a fitter if you wish to install into glass or a wall.If you are intending to fit your Pet Door in glass, a metal door or through a wall, you will require some SureFlap accessories for a successful installation.

Please see the specified pages for more information on the tools and supplies you’ll need and for step-by-step fitting instructions. Do not under any circumstances drill or cut the tunnel of the Pet Door. Fitting your Pet Door For details regarding the fitting dimensions, go to surepetcare.com/microchip-pet-door-connect17 Fitting your Pet Door in a wooden or plastic door Before you begin, have you programmed in all of your pets? If not, see page 13. Tools and supplies required Ruler Spirit level Blu tack Electric drill with a selection of drill bits Cross head screwdriver The screws and screw caps provided Step-by-step guide Attach a ball of Blu tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each rear corner of the external frame so that you can attach it to the door and use it as a template.Stick the frame to the door aligning the bottom edge of the hole with the mark you previously made. Use a spirit level to ensure the product is straight, then run a sharp pencil around the inside edge of the frame. When using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided with the product. Now that you have a clear outline drawn on the door, it’s time to prepare for cutting. We strongly advise that you drill pilot holes in the corners of the outline to make it easier to cut the hole with a jigsaw. Make sure these holes are touching the line and that they are big enough for the blade of the jigsaw to fit through.

Sharp pencil Electric jigsaw Protective eye-wear Please feel free to watch our online installation videos. surepetcare.com/support/microchip-pet-door-connect To ensure your pet has unhindered access through the Pet Door, measure the height of their tummy from the floor. This measurement is the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the hole you need to cut. So, mark this height on your door where you want to position your Pet Door.

Using a jigsaw, cut around the outer edge of the line you have marked. By doing this, the Pet Door should fit through the hole first time. However, if you cut on, or inside the line, the hole is likely to be too small. If this is the case, please take the time to carefully file the hole until the Pet Door fits through easily. Remove the Pet Door from the hole and drill the four screw holes using a 6mm drill bit ( inch). We now recommend you choose the correct length of screw out of those provided to attach the Pet Door to the door. Do this by measuring the length of the screw against the depth of your door. The screw must be roughly 15mm ( inch) longer than the depth of your door so it can hold the Pet Door in place. Now put the tunnel of the Pet Door through the hole. Remember the SureFlap logo and LCD display must be inside the house. We advise that you have two people for this, one inside the house and one outside to help hold the product firmly in place. On the outside of the house, make sure the tunnel of the Pet Door is securely pushed through the hole and then slide the external frame over it. When the external frame is in place, using a sharp pencil mark through the four holes. Put the Pet Door back through the hole, position it centrally and replace the external frame. Then, using a cross head screwdriver and the screws you selected, attach the external frame. Fasten the first screw until it is secure, but not too tight, then do the same with the remaining three. Once all four screws are secure, tighten them, but alternate between screws as you go to ensure the product is tightened evenly. Now, insert the four screw caps, noting that the groove needs to be facing away from the tunnel.

Once the main hole is cut, check whether there is any metal within your door. If you can see metal, go to page 21 and follow the instructions for fitting in a metal door.

Fitting your Pet Door in glass Tools and supplies required Ruler Glazier SureFlap Pet Door mounting adaptor The screws and screw caps provided Cross head screwdriver Clear all-weather sealant Please contact a qualified glazier or Pet Door installer to discuss your specific glass fitting requirements. Fitting into double or triple glazing will require a new pre-cut pane to be purchased, cut and fitted following the steps below. Step-by-step guide for cutting the hole in glass To fit your Pet Door into glass, you will require a circular hole to be cut measuring 300 mm or 114/5 inches in diameter. This will need to be done by a professional glazier.To ensure your pets have unhindered access through the Pet Door, you will need to make sure that this circular hole is cut at the appropriate height. Do this by first measuring the height of your pet’s tummy from the floor. Take this height and add 120mm to it (4 inches), this will give you the total distance from the floor to the centre of the circle you need cutting. Make sure this point is at least 200mm or 8 inches from the bottom of the window frame to allow room for the mounting adaptor. Pet’s tummy height + 120mm = the centre of the circle.If you are fitting in a double or triple glazed unit, ensure the glazier uses a non-metallic spacer bar around the hole to seal the layers of glass. A metal spacer could compromise the Pet Door’s ability to read microchips. 300 mmHave you programmed all of your pets into the Pet Door? If not, we advise you do this prior to fitting. See page 13. Please feel free to watchour online installation videos. surepetcare.com/support/microchip-pet-door-connect accessory X20

We advise that there are two people present for the following steps; one person inside the house and one outside. Apply a line of clear all-weather sealant to the back of both mounting adaptors, about 15mm ( inch) from the edge. Make sure your Pet Door is nearby and ready to be fitted. Place one of the mounting adaptors (it doesn’t matter which) over the tunnel of the Pet Door so that the side with the sealant is facing outwards and is not touching any surfaces. From inside the house, put the tunnel through the hole in the glass making sure the Pet Door is positioned centrally within the hole. Press firmly on both the Pet Door and the mounting adaptor so that you compress the sealant against the glass.

From the outside of the house, take the second mounting adaptor and slide it over the tunnel with the sealant facing the window. You may need the person on the inside of the house to keep pressure on the Pet Door to make sure it stays in place. Next, slide the external frame over the tunnel. Using a cross head screwdriver and the appropriate length of screw out of those provided, secure the external frame in place.

Fasten the first screw until it is secure, but not too tight, then do the same with the remaining three. Once all four screws are secure, tighten them, but make sure to alternate between screws as you go to ensure the product is tightened evenly. Now, insert the four screw caps, noting that the groove needs to be facing away from the tunnel. Step-by-step guide for fitting

Firstly, choose the correct length of screw for your installation out of the ones provided. Measure the length of the screw against the thickness of the glass. The screw must be roughly 20mm ( inch) longer than the thickness of the glass.

20mm21 accessory Fitting your Pet Door in a metal door Tools and supplies required Ruler Spirit level Blu tack SureFlap Pet Door mounting adaptor Cross head screwdriver Electric drill with a selection of drill bits The screws and screw caps provided Sharp pencil Electric jigsaw Protective eye-wear Clear all-weather sealant Before you begin It’s important to check whether your door contains a metal plate or thin metal foil before fitting. This is because the presence of metal can eect the performance of the Pet Door.When fitting into a metal door you’ll need to cut a bigger hole for the Pet Door to slot through. Having a 20 - 30mm ( - 1”) gap between the tunnel of the Pet Door and the metal will lessen the impact on the product’s performance. The step-by-step guide will explain how to do this. Have you programmed all of your pets into the Pet Door? We advise you do this prior to fitting. See page 13. To ensure your pet has unhindered access through the Pet Door, measure the height of their tummy from the floor. Mark this height on your metal door at the horizontal centre of where you want to position your Pet Door.

Attach a ball of Blu tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each rear corner of the external frame so that you can attach it to the door and use it as a template. Step-by-step guide Stick the frame to the door and use the mark you made for the height of your pet’s stomach to align the bottom edge of the hole. Use a spirit level to ensure the product is level, then run a sharp pencil around the outside edge of the frame.

1cm Now mark your cutting line 10mm ( inch) inside the line you just traced. Once complete, rub out the original traced line if you can so that you don’t get confused.

Using a jigsaw, cut around the inner edge of the line you marked. Once the hole is cut, we recommend you choose the correct length of screw to attach the Pet Door out of those provided. Do this by measuring the length of the screw against the depth of your door. The screw must be roughly 20mm ( inch) longer than the depth of your door to hold the Pet Door in place.

When using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided with the product.

We advise that there are two people present for this step; one person inside the house and one outside. From inside the house, put the tunnel through the hole in the door ensuring it is going through the centre of the hole and not touching any edges. Remember the SureFlap logo and LCD display must be inside the house.

From the outside of the house, check that the tunnel is in the centre of the hole and then take the second mounting adaptor and slide it over the tunnel with the sealant facing the door. You may need the person on the inside of the house to keep pressure on the Pet Door to make sure it stays in place.

Next, slide the external frame over the tunnel. Using a cross head screwdriver and the length of screw you’d chosen, secure the external frame in place. Fasten the first screw until it is secure, but not too tight, then do the same with the remaining three. Once all four screws are secure, tighten them, but make sure to alternate between screws as you go to ensure the product is tightened evenly.

Now, insert the four screw caps, noting that the groove needs to be facing away from the tunnel. Now it’s time to prepare for cutting. We strongly advise that you drill pilot holes in the corners of the outline to make it easier to cut the hole with a jigsaw. Make sure these holes are touching the line and that they are big enough for the blade of the jigsaw to fit through.

Apply a line of clear all-weather sealant to the back of both mounting adaptors, about 15mm ( inch) from the edge. Make sure your Pet Door is nearby and ready to be fitted. Place one of the mounting adaptors (it doesn’t matter which) over the tunnel of the Pet Door so that the patterned side with the ribs is facing outwards and is not touching any surfaces.

All the instructions you’ll need on how to fit your Pet Door in a wall can be found at: surepetcare.com/support/microchip-pet-door-connect Including a step by step guide, installation videos and links to even more helpful information. accessory Fitting your Pet Door in a wall Tools and supplies required SureFlap Pet Door Tunnel Extenders Electric drill & masonry bits Protective clothing & eye-wear Appropriate power tools for your wall All-weather tape Wall plugs & screws Cross head screwdriver Clear all-weather sealant Before you begin Please contact a qualified builder to discuss the best location to fit your Pet Door. Remember some walls can be structural or there may be electrical wires, gas or water pipes hidden within them which, if damaged, can cause serious problems. We recommend that you do not attempt the work yourself unless you have relevant experience. The job will be messy so protective clothing and eye-wear is a must and when using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided. Also, have you programmed all of your pets in to the Pet Door? If not, we advise you complete this process prior to fitting. For wall installations, tunnel extenders can be stacked together to create a longer tunnel for the Pet Door. The existing tunnel is 70mm (2 3/4”) long. Each tunnel extender adds 50mm (2”) to the length of the tunnel. You will need to purchase enough tunnel extenders to span the thickness of your wall + 10mm - the last extender needs to stick out by at least 10mm (”) for the external frame to rest on.

You can control all of your Pet Door’s locking modes and settings from the app or Sure Petcare online, so you can switch between locking modes easily, even when you’re away from home. The Sure Petcare app gives you more flexibility, as it makes setting locking and curfew times a lot simpler. Locking modes: PART 1 Standard locking mode In its standard locking mode, the Pet Door remains locked from the outside and is only unlocked when it detects an authorised pet’s microchip or collar tag. Once your pet has completely passed through the Pet Door tunnel, the locks will close and intruder animals are unable to follow, keeping your pets safe and secure. However, any pet can exit the house using the Pet Door, so make sure all of your relevant pets are programmed in - see page 13. Additional locking modes There are several dierent locking modes to choose from, so you can customise your Pet Door by selecting the mode that best fits your needs. The dierent modes can be activated either by using the Sure Petcare app/Sure Petcare online or by pressing the Lock mode button until the image on the LCD screen matches that of your desired mode - see page 25. However, please be aware that physically changing the locking mode by pressing the Lock mode button on the door will override any curfew times present on your app.25 Which locking mode to choose? There are five dierent locking modes to choose from on your Pet Door, each with dierent functions. For most cases, the standard locking mode is suicient (see Mode 1), however, if you’re looking for slightly more specific locking settings, your needs can most likely be met in one of the other four modes. It is important to note that all pets are capable of exiting through the Pet Door irrespective of their microchip ID unless the door is locked for exit. The way to distinguish between locking modes - so that you know which one is currently selected - is by the pictures displayed on the LCD screen. Each locking mode has a slightly dierent display. These are shown in the diagrams below. Mode 2 - Keep inside: This mode allows the authorised pets to enter the house but then they are prevented from exiting. Mode 3 - Keep out: Keep out mode means all pets are allowed to exit the house and once outside, they are prevented from re-entering. Mode 1 - Standard mode: This is the current mode activated on your Pet Door aer purchase. It allows only your authorised pets to enter and all pets to exit. Mode 5 - Curfew mode: By setting up and activating curfew mode authorised pets are only allowed to leave the house during certain times of day (see page 24). Mode 4 - Lock both ways: All pets are prevented from entering or exiting the house meaning they can be kept in their current location.

Curfew mode Curfew mode allows you to set a lock and unlock time for your Microchip Pet Door Connect, giving your pet access to the outside for a set period of the day (for example, unlocking in the morning and locking at night). Once you’ve set a curfew time, your Pet Door will lock and unlock at these times everyday until you change or disable it. Please be aware that at the lock time the Pet Door will be set to the ‘Keep inside’ locking mode, so your pet will still be able to enter the house, but won’t be able to leave. The easiest way to set your curfew times is by using the app or Sure Petcare online, however in order to physically set your curfew times on the Pet Door, please follow the steps below: If you’re struggling to get the clock to stop at your desired time when physically pressing the button, here is a tip which might help: When you are getting near to your desired time, don’t press and hold the button, press it repeatedly so that the time moves at slower increments, making you less likely to miss it.Or, you can use the app or Sure Petcare online to easily set your curfew times remotely. Tips and tricks Set the current time: In order to use the curfew mode you must first set the current time. To do this, press and hold the Current time button for around three seconds and the time on the LCD screen will flash.

To change the time, press the button repeatedly, or press and hold it for longer increments (see tips and tricks at the bottom of the page). Once you have reached the correct time, release the button and the time will be saved and the screen will stop flashing.

Set the lock time: Repeat the process in steps 1 and 2, but this time pressing the Lock time button to set your desired locking time. Set the unlock time: Repeat the same procedure again but using the Unlock time button.

Activate curfew mode: To activate the curfew mode, press the locking mode button until you have selected locking mode 5 (the time should be displayed on the screen). To deactivate the curfew mode, press the lock mode button again and select your desired locking mode.

e27 Product care It is important you keep your Pet Door clean to ensure it continues to function reliably. We recommend you give clean it with a damp cloth every couple of months to avoid the build up of mud, dirt, or pet hair. This way you can avoid any reliability issues caused by dirt build up. Areas to keep clean The pet detecting sensors The draught excluders The floor of the tunnel When cleaning your Microchip Pet Door Connect, also make sure to remove any build up of pet hair from the draught excluders surrounding the clear plastic door, as this can sometimes block the sensors. Operation of the sensors also relies on the reflectivity of the tunnel floor. This therefore should also be kept reasonably clean. If you have a brown Pet Door, please ensure the reflective silver sticker is kept free from dirt. If you notice at any point that this sticker is missing, please contact Customer Care. We advise you clean the tunnel every 2 - 3 months or if you notice dirt build up. The sensors that are used to detect your pet are located on the ceiling the tunnel. If they become obscured by dirt or pet hair, then there is a risk that your Microchip Pet Door Connect will not work correctly. Obscured sensors may result in abnormal locking functions, could cause unreliable Sure Petcare notifications and can lead to battery drainage. You should clean the sensors every

2 - 3 months or if you notice dirt build up.
