Setup

1. Power Supply

The main dispenser unit can be powered by either batteries or a USB cable. The remote button requires batteries.

• Main Unit: Install 4 x C-size alkaline batteries (not included) into the battery compartment located at the bottom of the dispenser. Alternatively, connect the dispenser using the provided micro USB cable to a USB power adapter (not included). Note: Do not use both USB and battery power simultaneously.
• Remote Button: Install 3 x AAA-size batteries (not included) into the remote button. Ensure the remote button is switched off when not in use to conserve battery life.

2. Filling the Dispenser

1. Grasp the top handle and rotate the lid counter-clockwise to open.
2. Pour your pet's favorite dry treats or kibble into the transparent hopper.
3. Replace the lid and rotate clockwise to secure it.

3. Adjusting Dispensing Speed

Inside the hopper, there is an adjustable window. You can slide this window to control the amount and flow rate of treats dispensed. Adjust it based on the size of your treats and your pet's training needs.

4. Remote Button Placement

The remote button can be placed in various locations:

• Standalone: Place the button on any flat surface. The rubber base helps prevent slipping.
• Suction Cup: Attach the suction cup to the bottom of the button for secure placement on smooth surfaces like glass doors or tiles.
• Ground Peg: Use the included ground peg to secure the button in soft ground for outdoor training.

Operating Instructions

1. Training Your Pet

The goal is to teach your pet to press the remote button to receive a treat from the dispenser.

1. Place the dispenser and the remote button in a suitable training area. Initially, keep them close together.
2. Encourage your pet to interact with the button. You can guide their paw to press it.
3. When the button is pressed, the dispenser will make a sound and release treats. Praise your pet immediately.
4. Repeat this process several times. As your pet understands the connection, gradually increase the distance between the button and the dispenser.
5. The remote control range is up to 50 meters without obstructions, allowing for varied training scenarios.

• Slide the switch to position '1' or '2' to select your preferred sound.
• Experiment to see which sound your pet responds to best.
