Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

Ensure your router supports 2.4GHz and your phone is connected to it. Move feeder closer to router. Perform reset (press and hold reset button for 7 seconds). |
| Voice recording not playing. | No voice recorded; volume too low. | Record a voice message via the app. Check volume settings in the app. |
