Setup Instructions

1. Unpack and Assemble:

   Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the main feeder unit, two stainless steel bowls, and the power adapter. Insert the stainless steel bowls into their designated slots on the feeder base.

2. Power Supply:

   Connect the DC power adapter to the power port on the back of the feeder and plug it into a wall outlet. For backup power during outages, install 4*AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included) into the battery compartment at the bottom of the unit. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Download the APP:

   Scan the QR code provided in the quick start guide (or search for the specified app name, e.g., "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" if not specified, I'll use a generic instruction) on your smartphone to download the companion mobile application. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.

4. Connect to Wi-Fi:
   • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The feeder does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
   • Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device.
   • Press and hold the Wi-Fi reset button on the feeder (refer to the feeder's control panel for exact button location) until the indicator light flashes rapidly, indicating it's in pairing mode.
   • Enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password in the app.
   • Once connected, the indicator light will become solid, and the app will confirm successful pairing.
5. Fill Food Bins:

   Open the lid and fill the food bins with dry pet food. You can use the removable partition to separate two different types of food. Ensure the kibble size is between 2mm and 19mm for optimal dispensing. Do not use coarse grains larger than 22mm or wet grains to prevent clogging.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting Feeding Schedules (via APP):
   • Open the Pettliant app and select your feeder device.
   • Navigate to the "Schedule" or "Feeding Plan" section.
   • Add new feeding times. For each entry, you can specify:
     • Time: The exact time of day for the meal.
     • Container: Select "Container 1" or "Container 2" if using two food types.
     • Portion Size: Adjust the number of portions (typically 1-20 servings) to dispense.
     • Frequency: Set the number of meals per day (1-10 meals).
   • Save your settings. The feeder will automatically dispense food according to your programmed schedule.

2. Manual Feeding:

   To dispense food instantly, press the manual feed button on the feeder's control panel or use the "Feed Now" option within the app. This will dispense one portion from the selected container (if applicable) or default container.
3. Voice Recording:

   Use the app to record a personalized 30-second voice message. This message will play automatically at each scheduled feeding time to call your pet to eat.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures hygiene for your pets and extends the life of your feeder. The detachable design makes cleaning easy.

1. Disassembly:

   Unplug the feeder from the power outlet and remove any batteries. Detach the food bins and stainless steel bowls from the main unit.

2. Cleaning Bowls and Bins:

   Wash the stainless steel bowls and the transparent food bins with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling. Ensure no water enters the main feeder unit.

3. Cleaning Main Unit:

   Wipe the exterior of the main feeder unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or expose it to excessive moisture. Use a dry brush or cloth to clean any food residue from the dispensing mechanism.
4. Desiccant Bag:

   Check the desiccant bag located in the lid. Replace it periodically (e.g., every 1-2 months) to maintain food freshness, especially in humid environments.

5. Reassembly:

   Once all parts are dry, reassemble the feeder. Ensure the food bins are securely clipped into place and the bowls are properly seated.
