3. Instruções de operação

3.1 Microchip Identification

The SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Door uses your cat's unique implanted microchip to control access. When an authorized cat approaches the door, the scanner reads their microchip, and if recognized, the locking mechanism disengages, allowing the cat to pass through. This prevents stray animals or wildlife from entering your home.

3.2 DualScan Technology and Exit Permissions

The DualScan feature allows you to set individual permissions for each cat, controlling both entry and exit. This is particularly useful if you need to keep certain cats indoors while allowing others to go outside. The two-sided scanner ensures precise control over which cats can exit and which must remain inside.

3.3 Manual Locking Options

The cat door features a manual 4-way lock, allowing you to control access regardless of microchip settings:

• In Only: Allows cats to enter but not exit.
• Out Only: Allows cats to exit but not enter.
• Bloqueado: Prevents both entry and exit.
• Desbloqueado: Allows free movement in both directions (subject to microchip permissions).

4. Manutenção

4.1 Substituição da bateria

The cat door is designed for long battery life, typically up to one year with normal use. A low battery power display will illuminate when the batteries need replacing. Replace all 4 AA batteries simultaneously to ensure optimal performance.

4.2 Limpeza

Regular cleaning of the cat door, especially the transparent flap and the microchip reading area, will ensure smooth operation and longevity. Use a soft, damp Pano e detergente neutro. Evite produtos de limpeza abrasivos ou solventes.

5. Solução De Problemas

• Cat not using the door: Some cats may require training to get accustomed to using the microchip cat door. Start by propping the flap open and enticing your cat with treats. Gradually lower the flap as they become more comfortable. The slight clicking sound when the microchip is read can also be a training aid.
• Unwanted animals entering: Ensure the microchip programming is correct and the door is not set to "Unlocked" or "In Only" if you wish to restrict access. Verify that the door is installed correctly and securely, especially if using tunnel extenders, to prevent gaps. While designed to deter, highly persistent or intelligent wildlife (like raccoons) may attempt to manipulate the flap.
• Door not recognizing microchip: Check battery levels. Ensure the cat is passing close enough to the scanner. In some rare cases, environmental interference might occur; try repositioning the door if possible, or contact support for advanced troubleshooting.
• Drafts or poor seal: Ensure the installation is flush and sealed properly. While the door provides a good seal, extreme weather conditions or improper installation can lead to minor drafts. Consider additional weather stripping if necessary.
