Operating Instructions
The PetSafe Electronic Smart Pet Door features programmable modes and uses an Electronic Pet Door Key to grant access.
Electronic Pet Door Key:
One Electronic Pet Door Key is included. This key attaches to your pet's collar and is detected by the pet door, allowing it to unlock. The door permits only those pets wearing the key to enter or exit.

Programmable Modes:
The pet door offers three programmable modes to control access:
- Locked: The door remains locked and will not open for any pet, regardless of the key.
- Unlocked: The door remains unlocked and can be used by any pet or person.
- Automatic: The door will only unlock when it detects a programmed Electronic Pet Door Key. It automatically locks after the pet passes through.
