Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Food Container

Open the lid of the food container and pour dry pet kibble into the reservoir. Ensure the lid is securely closed after filling to maintain food freshness and prevent spills.

  2. Select "Feeding Schedule" or a similar option.
  3. Add new feeding times, specifying the hour, minute, and days of the week.
  4. Adjust the portion size for each meal. The feeder allows for precise control over the amount of food dispensed per meal.
  5. Save your settings. The feeder will now automatically dispense food according to your programmed schedule.

3. Manual Feeding

To dispense food immediately, use the "Manual Feed" option in the app. You can also press the manual feed button on the feeder itself (if available) to dispense a single portion.

4. Voice Recording

The feeder supports personalized voice recordings. In the app, find the voice recording feature and record a short message (e.g., "Time to eat, [Pet's Name]!"). This message will play before each scheduled meal to alert your pet.

5. Monitoring Food Levels and Alerts

The app provides real-time updates on the food level in the container. When the food is running low, the feeder will send a notification to your phone, prompting you to refill it. Infrared sensors inside the feeder also help detect low food levels.
