Setup
Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the deodorizer. Connect the provided USB cable to the device's charging port and plug the other end into a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The device typically charges fully in approximately 6 hours. A red light indicates low power and the need for charging.

Mounting the Deodorizer
The deodorizer can be mounted using the included adhesive stickers. Choose a clean, dry, and smooth surface near the litter box.
- Clean the desired mounting surface thoroughly.
- Peel off the protective film from one side of an adhesive sticker and firmly press it onto the back of the deodorizer's mounting plate.
- Peel off the protective film from the other side of the adhesive sticker.
- Press the deodorizer firmly onto the cleaned surface. Hold for at least 30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
- Allow the adhesive to set for at least one hour before placing the deodorizer unit onto the mounting bracket.
The anti-scratch design allows the main unit to be easily removed from the mounting plate for charging without detaching the adhesive from the wall.

Operating Instructions
Automatic Operation
The DownyPaws Cat Litter Deodorizer features a smart biosensing system for automatic operation:
- When a cat approaches within approximately 3 meters, the deodorizer will automatically enter standby mode (blue light breathing) and pause deodorization to avoid disturbing the cat.
- After the cat leaves the detection range for 1 minute, the deodorizer will automatically resume its deodorization cycle (blue light on).

Indicator Lights
- Blue Light On: Device is in active deodorization mode.
- Blue Light Breathing: Device is in monitoring status (standby mode), typically when a cat is detected nearby.
- Red Light On: Battery is low and requires charging.
Optimal Placement
For best results, place the deodorizer in or as close to the litter box as possible. The deodorizing effect may vary depending on the number of cats and the size of the litter box area.

Usage Tips
- Allow at least 2-3 days for the device to reach optimal performance and for a significant difference in odor reduction to be noticeable.
- Avoid frequently moving within the sensor's range (approximately 3 meters) to prevent the device from entering standby mode too often, which can reduce continuous deodorization.
- For multi-cat households, it is recommended to use multiple deodorizers for best effectiveness, placed 20-40cm from each litter box.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, periodically wipe the exterior of the deodorizer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any charging source before cleaning.
Charging Schedule
The device's 4000mAh battery provides up to 14 days of operation on a single charge. When the red indicator light appears, recharge the device promptly. It is recommended to charge the device every 2 weeks, or as needed, especially when cleaning the litter box.
No Consumables
The DownyPaws Cat Litter Deodorizer does not require any filters or other consumables, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not turning on or operating. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the device fully using the provided USB cable. |
| Deodorizing effect is not noticeable. | Insufficient time for effect; improper placement; large area/multiple cats. | Allow 2-3 days for optimal performance. Ensure proper placement near the litter box. Consider using multiple units for larger areas or multiple cats. |
| Adhesive sticker detaches from surface. | Surface not clean or dry; insufficient pressure during application; adhesive not allowed to set. | Clean and dry the surface thoroughly before application. Apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds. Allow adhesive to set for at least one hour before attaching the deodorizer unit. Use the spare adhesive sticker if needed. |
| Blue light is breathing but device is not actively deodorizing. | Cat is within the sensor's detection range. | This is normal operation. The device will resume deodorization 1 minute after the cat leaves the range. Avoid frequent movement near the sensor. |
| Red light is on. | Battery is low. | Recharge the device immediately. |
