3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your NPET Automatic Pet Feeder:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
2. Assemble Food Hopper: Slide the transparent food hopper onto the main feeder body. Ensure it is firmly seated and aligned correctly.
3. Secure Lid: Place the lid on top of the food hopper. Twist the lid to the 'OFF' position to securely lock it. This prevents your pet from accessing the food reservoir and keeps food fresh.
4. Insert Batteries (Optional Backup Power): Open the battery compartment located at the bottom of the feeder. Insert 3 AA batteries (not included) for backup power in case of an electricity outage. Close the compartment securely.
5. Connect Power: Insert the anti-bite USB cable into the feeder's power port and connect the 5V AC adapter to a standard electrical outlet.
6. Install Food Tray: Place the stainless steel bowl into the plastic feeding tray. Then, align the tray with the feeder base and slide it into position until it clicks securely.
7. Add Dry Food: Fill the food hopper with your pet's preferred dry kibble. Ensure the kibble size is appropriate for the feeder's dispensing mechanism to prevent clogging.
