IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols Used in this Guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided could result in harm to your pet.
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
• When children are present in the home, it is important to consider the pet door during child proofing activities. The pet door may be misused by a child resulting in the child accessing potential hazards that may be on the other side of the pet door. Purchasers/ Homeowners with swimming pools should ensure that the pet door is monitored at all times and that the swimming pool has adequate barriers to entry. If a new hazard is created inside or outside of your home, which may be accessed through the pet door, Radio Systems Corporation recommends that you properly guard access to the hazard or remove the pet door. The closing panel or lock, if applicable, is provided for aesthetic and energy efficiency purposes and is not intended as a security device. Radio Systems Corporation will not be liable for unintended use, and the purchaser of this product accepts full responsibility for oversight of the opening it creates.
• Power tools can cause severe injury. Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles and other proper safety equipment.
• Ensure the power adapter is used only on a standard 120 Volt AC circuit outlet.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the power adapter plug housing, not the cord.
• Inspect the power cord before and periodically during use. Discontinue use if damage or deterioration occur, such as blistering, cracking, chewing or deformation. Continued use may result in injury or property damage.
• To avoid tripping, always position the power cord out of the path of foot traffic.
• Before using charger or charging the battery, carefully read all instructions and cautionary markings in this guide, on the charger, battery and product using battery to reduce risk of injury or damage and misuse of products.
• Do not use charger, battery or power adapter outdoors, expose to wet or damp conditions or allow to get wet with water or any other type of liquid.
• Keep battery away from untrained individuals and children!
• Only use designated charger to charge battery. Do not attempt to charge the battery by any other means.
• Do not charge battery if cracked or damaged.
• Do not disassemble battery or throw into a fire. Recycle battery properly.
• Do not place the battery on or near fires, heaters, other high temperature locations, or apply heat to the battery. Never charge your lithium-ion battery near heat or flammable objects.
• Do not pierce the battery with any sharp objects, strike the battery with a hammer, tools, or heavy objects, step on the battery, subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks or otherwise damage the outer casing.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, and avoid storing spare batteries inside cars in extreme hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.

• If the product or battery becomes too hot to the touch during charging, disconnect the power adapter from the charger and unplug from the power outlet immediately.
• Do not charge battery if the battery has expanded or swollen in size, or if the battery has been punctured, even if this is the first time the battery is going to be charged.
• If an exposed lithium-ion battery does start a fire, it may burn even more violently if it comes into contact with water or even the moisture in the air. DO NOT THROW WATER ON A BURNING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY! A class C fire extinguisher must be used.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite. Any modification may damage the battery or cells and will invalidate any warranty claim.
• If you happen to get any electrolyte from the battery cells on your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If in your eyes, do not rub. Rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical assistance.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite.
• Storage: For long term storage, the battery should be stored at room temperature (around 68° F / 20° C), charged at about 30 to 50% of its capacity. We recommend that spare batteries are charged and used at least once per year to prevent over-discharge.
• Do not use the charger with other lithium batteries or with any other type of batteries– fire or explosion may occur.
• Never modify or repair the charger supplied.
• Never use a NiCd charger or any other charger to recharge the lithium-ion battery as this is very dangerous.
• Do not disassemble charger.
• Disconnect power adapter from charger and power adapter from outlet when not in use or when finished charging battery to reduce risk of electric shock.
• Only use designated power adapter with charger to charge battery.
• Do not operate charger with a damaged plug or use charger if damaged in any way.
• The user, prior to installation, must become familiar with all building codes that may affect the installation of the pet door and determine, along with a licensed contractor, its suitability in a given installation. This pet door is not a fire door. It is important for the owner and contractor to consider any risks that may be present inside or outside of the pet door, any risks that may be created by subsequent changes to your property and how they may relate to the existence and use, including misuse of the pet door.
• If cutting metal surface, be aware of sharp edges to prevent injury.
• During pet training while pet door is in Open Mode, make sure to GENTLY lower flap onto pet’s back. Also avoid possible injury by making sure your pet is entirely through the pet door opening, including paws and tail, before completely releasing flap.
• Do not allow your pet to chew on the power cord.
• Read this entire guide prior to cutting or modifying an opening in your door or wall. Do not proceed with cut-out or installation until your pet door is assembled, powered up, programmed for your pet and all steps under “Prepare, Setup and Test” have been completed.
• Keep these instructions with important papers; be sure to transfer these instructions to the new owner of the property.
• Unauthorized changes or modifications may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment, and void the warranty.
• We do not accept any responsibility for openings that are cut or modified in doors or walls or any damage caused to doors or walls in forming or modification of such openings, including any costs associated with the repair or replacement.
• The unit only operates properly while outside temperatures are greater than -5°F (-20.5° C) and less than 131° F (55° C). If operating from the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the battery and battery compartment cannot be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
• Do not install in a location where the pet door interior frame, including the LCD screen and battery compartment, and the power adapter are exposed to damp or wet conditions or to water or outside elements, such as rain or snow.
• Only use designated power adapter with the product.
4
• Do not use power adapter in temperatures below 32° F (0° C) or above 104° F (40° C). Power adapter for inside use only.
• If homeowner’s door or other application is not level, the pet door must be installed level to swing properly.
• When applying the cutting template, there should be a minimum of 3 inches between the bottom and sides of the door and the outer edge of the template to maintain the structural integrity of the door.
• Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where you will be drilling holes or cutting out the opening.
• Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or warp the pet door frame.

How the SmartDoor™ Plus Works
Using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the SmartDoor Plus pet door reads the SmartDoor Plus Key worn on your pet’s collar. When your pet approaches the SmartDoor Plus, the system reads the unique ID of your pet’s key unlocking the pet door and allowing your pet to enter or exit. If a pet or animal does not have a programmed key, the pet door will remain locked. This allows access only to pets with a key while helping keep out other pets, wild animals, pests and strays. The SmartDoor Plus offers advanced access options, such as in-only and out-only access, plus a timer feature that allows access for all pets wearing a programmed key at specific times of day. Programming is easy using the LCD screen and keypad. The SmartDoor Plus is programmable for up to 20 pets.
SmartDoor Plus Key
Worn on your pet’s collar, the SmartDoor Plus Key uses RFID technology by using a unique code to signal the SmartDoor Plus pet door to operate as programmed for your pet. The SmartDoor Plus Key does not require a battery to operate. One key is included but needs programed to operate with your SmartDoor Plus pet door. Follow all steps under “Prepare, Setup and Test”, including “Test SmartDoor Plus Key”, before starting installation. Up to 20 keys can be programmed to the SmartDoor Plus pet door. Additional SmartDoor Plus Keys are sold separately.

Prepare, Setup and Test
Install Clock Battery and Power Source
The SmartDoor Plus pet door is shipped with the clock battery not installed. This is to prevent loss of battery life before purchase and use. The 3-V Lithium coin cell battery (size CR2032) needs to be installed before proceeding with setup, testing and installation. The battery is required to keep the clock’s time during any power loss. Typical clock battery life is about 1 year with normal use and operating power from power adapter or rechargeable lithium-ion battery. With no operating power, expected clock battery life is about 10 weeks. If you will not be using the pet door or have no operating power for an extended period of time, it is recommended to remove the clock battery to prevent loss of battery life. When the clock battery needs replaced, if the battery has not been installed or it has been installed incorrectly, you will receive an alert on the LCD Screen.
Choose your power source for your SmartDoor Plus pet door to operate. A power adapter and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery are included. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery can be used for full operation of the pet door or as a battery back­up option for the power adapter in case of a power loss.
To Install Clock Battery: Remove clock battery cover from back of interior frame. Battery slot is located on left side of circuit board. Insert battery with positive (+) side facing the right side of the battery slot. Make sure battery is fully inserted. Reinsert battery cover and push to snap into place.
To Install Power Adapter: The SmartDoor Plus comes supplied with a low-voltage AC adapter for power. Insert power adapter into concealed power connection located underneath bottom of interior frame.
To Install Rechargeable Battery:
1. For safety reasons, the lithium-ion battery is shipped not fully charged. The battery will need to be fully charged before use. To charge battery connect supplied power adapter to charging station and plug adapter into a standard household 120 volt AC circuit outlet. Insert lithium-ion battery into charging station with battery contacts facing down. The charging station LED will remain illuminated with a red light until the battery is fully charged. After battery is fully charged, unplug power adapter and disconnect from charging station. Remove battery.
2. Open battery compartment cover. With battery contacts pointed up and arrow on battery pointed down, insert bottom of battery into battery compartment.
3. Using the battery grips, push battery down to compress spring inside bottom of battery compartment and insert top of battery.
4. Release grips until arrow on battery and arrow inside battery compartment are aligned. Close battery cover.
Read this entire guide prior to cutting or modifying an opening in your door or wall. Do not proceed with cut-out or installation until your SmartDoor™ Plus is assembled, powered up, programmed for your pet and all steps under “Prepare, Setup and Test” have been completed.
