- Litter Filling: Open the top cover or access panel as indicated in the quick start guide. Fill the drum with clumping cat litter. Do not exceed the maximum fill line to prevent operational issues. The unit is compatible with various types of clumping litter, including low-dust and lightweight varieties.

- Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the litter box and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- App Download and Pairing: Download the Pawduct Smart APP from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your litter box with your smartphone for remote control and monitoring.

- Automatic Cleaning Mode: After your cat exits the litter box, the unit will automatically initiate a cleaning cycle after a preset delay. The internal drum rotates to sift clean litter from waste, depositing the waste into the sealed container.
- Timed Cleaning Mode: Use the Pawduct Smart APP to schedule specific cleaning times throughout the day.
- Manual Cleaning Mode: Initiate a cleaning cycle at any time via the button on the unit or through the Pawduct Smart APP.
- One-Click Litter Emptying: When changing all the litter, use the APP's one-click emptying function to rotate the drum and deposit all litter into the waste container for easy disposal.
- Waste Container Full Reminder: The system will notify you via the APP when the waste container requires emptying.
Smart APP Control and Health Monitoring

The Pawduct Smart APP allows for comprehensive control and monitoring:
- Remote Control: Manage cleaning modes (manual, automatic, timed), purification, and other settings from your smartphone.
- Health Data Tracking: The APP tracks your cat's weight, frequency of use, and duration of visits, providing insights into their health patterns. This data can assist in early detection of potential health issues.
- Customized Cleaning Cycles: Adjust cleaning schedules and preferences through the APP.
- Support Sharing Function: Share access to the device control with other family members.
Safety Features
The Pawduct litter box incorporates multiple safety mechanisms to ensure your cat's well-being.

- Weight Sensors (x4): The unit stops operation immediately if a cat is detected inside the litter box during a cleaning cycle.
- Pyroelectric Sensor (x1): Detects the presence of a cat near the entrance of the drum, pausing operation to prevent injury.
- Overcurrent and Overload Protection: If the rotation of the drum is blocked, the system will reverse for 3 seconds and then attempt to move forward. If blockage persists after a second attempt, the operation will stop to prevent damage.
- Anti-Pinch Design: The waste container is located at the back with no internal openings in the drum, structurally designed to prevent pinching.
Odor Control
The Pawduct litter box is equipped with features to manage odors effectively.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your litter box.

- Waste Bag Replacement: When the APP indicates the waste container is full, remove the old waste bag, dispose of it, and install a new one.
- Litter Replacement: Periodically empty all old litter using the one-click emptying function and refill with fresh clumping litter. It is recommended to use low-dust, lightweight cat litter for best results and to prevent issues with drum rotation.
- Drum Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, the internal drum can be removed. Wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Fragrance Gel Replacement: Replace the fragrance gel cartridge approximately every 30 days or as needed to maintain odor control.
Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.
- App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is enabled and the litter box is within range. Restart the app and the litter box if connection problems persist. Check for app updates.
- Litter Spillage or Liner Issues: Ensure the internal liner is correctly secured and not dislodged. Overfilling the litter box can also cause spillage during cycles. Verify the type of litter used; some litters may adhere more, causing issues.
- Drum Rotation Problems: If the drum struggles to rotate, check for obstructions or excessive litter weight. Ensure the litter type is suitable (low-dust, lightweight clumping litter is recommended). If the problem persists, the overcurrent/overload protection may be activating; refer to the safety features section.
- Cat Not Using the Box: Cats may need time to adjust to a new litter box. Place the new unit next to the old one initially. Ensure the litter box is appropriately sized for your cat; larger cats may require more space to turn comfortably.
- Random Light Activation: If lights turn on randomly, check for environmental factors that might trigger sensors or consult the app for diagnostic information. Ensure the unit's firmware is up to date.
- Waste Container Not Alerting When Full: Ensure the waste bag is installed correctly and not obstructing the sensor. Clean any debris from the sensor area.
