• 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.

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.

Rechargeable Battery LED Indicator and Specifications
Understanding Motion Sensors
Note: For testing purposes, the motion sensor wire should have been
connected from the interior frame to exterior frame at the factory. Before proceeding with the next steps, make sure the motion sensor wire is connected, or the SmartDoor™ Plus will not detect the SmartDoor Plus Key to open from the outside during testing. (See “Installation in a Non­Glass Door” Step 4F page 18 for connecting motion sensor wire).
Understanding how the interior and exterior motion sensors work is important when selecting your installation location. When the motion sensors detect movement, they trigger the reader to turn on which detects and reads the SmartDoor Plus Key. The areas where the motion sensors detect motion are called Motion Sensing Zones. Where your pet is detected within the Motion Sensing Zones can depend on your pet’s size and hair type, surrounding temperatures and the location where the pet door is installed. For example, if your pet has longer hair, it may take longer for the motion sensors to detect your pet. The motion sensors may also detect you pet differently in summer than winter. Also, if your pet door is installed in a location with stairs on one side, the motion sensor will detect your pet differently on the side with the stairs than the side without the stairs. Blind Zones are areas where the motion sensors cannot detect your pet and the pet door will not read your pet’s key.
Check for Radio-Frequency Interference
Prior to installation, it is recommended to setup, program and test the SmartDoor Plus pet door in the intended installation location to check for possible radio-frequency interferences. These interferences could negatively affect the pet door from working properly and receiving the signal of the SmartDoor Plus Key. Common household appliances and electronic products should be located at least two feet (61cm) away from the location where the pet door will be installed. Typical household products to consider are microwaves, televisions, wireless telephones, computers, garage door openers and handheld electronic devices such as remote controls or game stations.
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.

Once you successfully complete programming your pet’s key to the pet door, the Main Menu will display. You are now ready to proceed to “Test SmartDoor Plus Key”.
Example:
14
Test SmartDoor™ Plus Key
Once your pet’s SmartDoor Plus Key has been programmed, it is important to test to make sure it is working properly and can be read by the pet door in your planned installation location. Testing should be done on both the interior and exterior side of the location for each programmed key.
Understanding Read Range
Prior to testing the SmartDoor Plus Key, it is important to understand the Read Range of the pet door. Read Range is the distance between the SmartDoor Plus Key and the SmartDoor Plus pet door when it first detects the key and triggers the flap system to unlock or operate as programmed for your pet. The Read Range can be up to 10 inches or it may be less depending on the location and application in which the pet door is installed. The mechanism which detects and reads the key is located within the interior pet door frame. Due to this, you may see slight differences between the Read Range on the inside and outside of the pet door.
Note: To test the SmartDoor Plus Key, the Door Operational Mode must be set to Smart Mode (which is default factory setting). Check to make sure the pet door is in Smart Mode prior to testing (see “Door Operational Modes” page 21).
To Test Key:
1. Place the SmartDoor Plus pet door directly in front of interior side of installation location in the upright position. It is very important the pet door is vertical and not leaning so the flap system will operate properly and not jam.
2. Stand to side of pet door out of view of interior motion sensor. Do not stand in front of pet door or this could cause the motion sensor to not operate correctly.
3. While standing to side, wave your hand back and forth in front of motion sensor to activate. Next, hold your pet’s programmed SmartDoor Plus Key 8 to 10 inches away and parallel to flap. Slowly move the key toward the flap until the pet door reads the key and flap system unlocks. Push through flap with your hand to check pet door flap unlocked on interior side.
4. After testing from interior side, go to exterior side of your installation location. Turn the pet door around where exterior frame is facing you.
5. Again, stand to side of pet door. Repeat waving your hand back and forth to activate motion sensor and test if the pet door is reading the key. Make sure to push through flap with your hand to check flap unlocked on exterior side.
6. If you have multiple pets, repeat this test for each programmed SmartDoor Plus Key.
If the SmartDoor Plus pet door does not read your pet’s key after several testing attempts, you may need to reprogram the key (see “Relearn Pet” page 26). Make sure you reprogram the SmatDoor Plus Key at 5 to 6 inches away from the flap, then test the key again. If the pet door still does not read the key, select and move to a different installation location and follow key testing steps once more. If the “To Test Key” steps continue to be unsuccessful, contact our Customer Care Center for additional help. DO NOT PROCEED
WITH INSTALLATION.
If the SmartDoor Plus is reading your pet’s programmed SmartDoor Plus Key and ALL steps under “Prepare, Setup and Test” were successful, you can proceed with preparing your pet’s key and pet door installation.
If ANY STEPS UNDER “PREPARE, SETUP AND TEST” WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION. Contact our Customer Care Center for assistance at 1-800-732-2677.
Prepare SmartDoor Plus Key
Attach the SmartDoor Plus Key to your pet’s collar using the included split key rings. For best results, attach the key to the front of your pet’s collar. The key should hang under your pet’s neck and parallel to the flap so the pet door can properly read the key.

Installation in a Non-Glass Door
Determine Pet Door Location
Note: Disconnect power adapter from pet door (or remove rechargeable battery if using) and disconnect the motion sensor wire from exterior frame prior to installation.
1A Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the interior side of door. Draw a level line at your pet’s shoulder height.
1B Determine location for the pet door. Draw a vertical center line through the shoulder height line using a level.
Helpful Tip: Mark shoulder height and vertical center line lightly with a pencil or on a piece of tape so marks can easily be erased or removed.
Preparing Door
2A Remove door by removing door hinge pins.
2B Place on a raised level surface such as saw horses. Place interior side of door facing up.
Helpful Tip: Clamp down or weight the door to prevent it from moving. The Pet Door can be
installed with the door hanging based on your skill level.
2C Match the marked lines on the door with the shoulder and center lines on the template. Tape the
template in place and carefully trace template. Make sure to trace underneath tape and connect the corners. Remove the template and any excess tape from the door.

Cut Pet Door Opening
3A Drill ½ inch holes in inside corners and center of top angle of drawn template.
Helpful Tip: Before cutting pet door opening, apply painter’s or masking tape on jigsaw blade
guide and along outer edges of drawn template to help protect door surface from marks and scratches during cutting.
3B Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along the drawn template lines. After cutting out the opening, you may need to recut to square the opening for the pet door frame to fit correctly.
Helpful Tip: Use proper saw blade length and type according to door thickness and material (for
example a wood blade for a wood door and a metal blade for a metal door). Cut slowly using both hands to hold the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle. This will prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between interior and exterior sides of the door. If cut piece does not fall out, check underside of door to make sure exterior side has been cut.
Install Pet Door
Before putting away your jigsaw, place interior frame (frame with flap) inside the cut-out and check the fit. Then place the exterior frame into the underside of the cut-out to check the fit. If the frames do not easily fit inside the opening, you may need to recut opening before proceeding with installation.
4A Measure the thickest part (T) of cut-out. Note this measurement.
4B Before installing pet door, you need to determine which screw length is needed for your installation.
Depending on your door thickness, the screws may need to be trimmed with a hacksaw or screw cutter. If the screws are too long, the finishing plugs will not fit. Use the Screw Selection Guide (Chart 1) to select which screw to use and if it needs to be trimmed.

4C Apply duct tape along top interior and exterior edge of cut-out. Leave approximately 2 inches
uncovered on either side of tape and make sure no excess tape will show outside the frame. This is to cover raw edge of cut-out to keep it from pinching or cutting motion sensor wire.
4D Place exterior frame into cut-out from the underside of the door.
4E Align exterior frame flush with bottom of cut-out.
Helpful Tip: Use sawhorse or other flat surface to keep exterior frame in place while installing
interior frame.
4F Plug motion sensor wire from interior frame into connector on the exterior frame.
4G Without pinching the wire, guide excess wire into space between top edge of door cut-out and
tunnel on exterior frame. Align interior frame into cut-out. View both sides of door to ensure the exterior and interior telescoping tunnels are aligned.
Helpful Tip: You should be able to see clearly through all screw holes when your door is aligned properly.
Insert Screws And Plugs
5A Insert mounting screws through interior frame screw holes. Be sure to insert screws into screw holes inside battery compartment. Check to make sure pet door fit is correct and frame is aligned flush. Tighten screws.
Note: Small+ has 4 screw holes and Medium has 6 screw holes.

5D Route power adapter wire through wire guides in desired direction towards nearest
power outlet. Rehang door.
Train Pet
Note: The SmartDoor™ Plus pet door is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock the flap system when a SmartDoor
Plus Key is detected. Do not allow your pet to run or charge through the pet door. Due to variable radio-frequency interferences and
the location where your pet door is installed, it could take several seconds for the unique code of the SmartDoor Plus Key to be read and the flap system to unlock.
6A To train your pet, set the pet door to Open Mode (see “Door Operational Modes” page 21). Lift or tape main flap and interior U-flap open using string to help your pet become familiar with the pet door opening. MAKE SURE TAPED FLAP IS SECURE AND WILL NOT FALL DURING TRAINING. Try to encourage your pet to come through the door. DO NOT FORCE your pet through the door or they may become frightened.
If your pet is timid, it might be helpful to lock the exterior U-flap so it does not move and scare your pet. To lock exterior U-flap, make sure interior U-flap and main flap are securely taped open while in Open Mode. Next, change Door Operational Mode to Locked Mode (see “Door Operational Modes” page 21). This will lock the exterior U-flap. Please be aware you may receive the “Flap Held Open” error message on the LCD screen. This message will go away once you lower the flaps after your pet is trained. Encourage your pet to use the pet door. Food is usually a good motivator. First feed your pet close to the pet door on the inside. Once your pet is comfortable approaching the pet door, move food to the outside to try to get your pet to go through the opening. After your pet has used the pet door a few times, lower flaps and change door back to Open Mode. Hold flaps open and get your pet to go through the door while gently lowering flaps so they can touch your pet’s back. This will help your pet become familiar with the flaps. Encourage your pet to push through the flaps on their own.
Optional

Step 6
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.
20
Once your pet is comfortable entering and exiting through the closed flaps in Open Mode, change the Door Operational Mode to Smart Mode to operate with your pet’s programmed SmartDoor™ Plus Key. Walk your pet to the pet door until the key is detected and the flap system unlocks. Encourage your pet to push through to the other side until they do it on their own. It is recommended NOT to use any other Access Modes (In-Only, Out-Only or Timer) until your pet is comfortable using the pet door in In/Out Mode (see “Access Modes” page 23).
Most pets will learn to use the SmartDoor Plus pet door in a few short training sessions. However, some pets can take a little longer to become comfortable and confident using the pet door. The most important rule is to be patient with your pet. Let your pet work out for himself he can go through the pet door. With a little patience and training, you and your pet will soon enjoy the freedom your new pet door provides.
Helpful Tip: Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to go through the pet door.
Installation In a Wall

Relearn Pet
If you need to reprogram your pet to the pet door or replace your pet’s SmartDoor™ Plus Key, you can relearn your pet without losing your pet’s saved name. Reprogramming or adding a key is time-sensitive with only 30 seconds to relearn pet. Ensure your pet’s SmartDoor Plus Key is nearby.
Note: Any other SmartDoor Plus Keys near the pet door will prevent proper programming. Do NOT hold the SmartDoor Plus Key in your hand against the LCD screen when you select Relearn Pet. This could also prevent the SmartDoor Plus Key from programming properly.
To Relearn Pet:
1. Go to Main Menu > Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or pet name) > Relearn Pet. Press right arrow key to select.
2. Hold the SmartDoor Plus key 5 to 6 inches away from center of main flap. Hold key in this position and wait for it to program during the 30 second countdown. DO NOT HOLD KEY AGAINST FLAP. The SmartDoor Plus Key must be programmed 5 to 6 inches away so the pet door will consistently read key when worn by your pet.
3. When your pet’s SmartDoor Plus Key is successfully relearned, you will hear three beeps and the LCD screen will return to “Pet n” menu screen. Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu.
Remove Pet
Removing Pet allows a pet to be deleted from the SmartDoor Plus with all programmed settings removed. Removing a pet cannot be undone. Please make sure you want to remove a pet before completing these steps.
To Remove Pet:
1. From Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or pet name) > Remove Pet.
2. A confirmation screen will appear. Use up arrow key to highlight Yes and press right arrow key to remove pet.
