Troubleshooting

• No Power/Charging: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check the connection of the Type C power cable to the feeder. The included AAA battery should also be checked.

• Poor Video Quality: Check for obstructions on the camera lens. Ensure the lens is clean. Verify your internet connection speed.
• AI Identification Inaccuracy: While advanced, AI identification may occasionally misidentify species due to lighting conditions or partial views. Ensure clear, well-lit images for best results.
• Feeder Not Attracting Birds: Ensure the feeder is filled with fresh, appropriate birdseed. Placement in a quiet, safe location away from predators can also help.
