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.

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

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. In keeping with accepted standards of parental
care, children should be supervised at all times.

• Power Tools. Risk of severe injury; follow all safety instructions for your power tools.

• Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.

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, and any risks that may be created
by subsequent changes to your property and how they may relate to the existence and use­including misuse-of the pet door.

• If cutting a metal surface, be aware of sharp edges to prevent injury.

• Working with glass is a skilled job and should be carried out by a professional glazier. It
is not possible to cut holes in toughened glass or double glazed units except at the time of
manufacture. Please consult a glazier.

• Keep these instructions with impor tant papers; be sure to transfer these instructions to the new
owner of the property.

• Please read these instructions fully prior to forming or modifying an opening in your selected
door or wall. We strongly recommend that your microchip cat flap be programmed for your
cat and a check made that it works with the microchip in your cat first.

• This unit operates properly only when the outside temperatures are greater than -25° C and
less than 55° C.

• PetSafe® pet doors are suitable for most doors, walls or partitions although additional
materials may be required. This product is designed for the convenience of you and your pet.

Getting Started

With its advanced selective entry technology, our PetSafe® Microchip Cat Flap has been designed
to allow your cat easy access to the outside world whilst keeping other troublesome cats and
animals out of your house. Using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the PetSafe®
Microchip Cat Flap works by reading your cat’s unique microchip ID without the need for a collar
or accessory. When your cat approaches the cat flap, the flap will respond by allowing only your
cat to enter. The cat flap will remain locked and deny access to cats that are not programmed, wild
animals, pests, and strays. The cat flap is also designed with a convenient Manual 4-Way lock that
allows you to control the access of your programmed cats.

This model of the PetSafe® Microchip Cat Flap (PPA19-16145) reads the most common type of
microchip implanted in cats – FDX-B (15-digit). If you are not sure what t ype of microchip your
cat has, please either ask your veterinarian or visit ww w.petsafe.com and navigate to our Chip
Checker, microchip compatibility checker, and enter your cat’s microchip ID to verify that your
microchip is compatible. Occasionally a microchip migrates to a position within the cat that the
scanner cannot read reliably.

Batteries

The PetSafe® Microchip Cat Flap requires four alkaline AA batteries (LR6) for operation. Bat teries
are not included with your cat flap. Please use new, non-rechargeable batteries for best results. To
install batteries, remove the battery cover from the top of the interior frame, set aside the hardware
pack, and place the batteries in the proper direction. Once installed, the green LED will quickly
flash 3 times indicating the cat flap is in Automatic Mode and is ready for programming.

Note: With basic operation the batteries will typically last 12 months. The cat flap is designed
with a low battery indicator, for more information, see the Basic Operation Guide section.
