3. Program Feeding Times:
   • Press the "FEED" button or navigate through the menu using the "Time Setting Button" to access feeding schedule settings.
   • You can program up to 4 feeding times per day. For each feeding time, set the desired hour and minute.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the food container and dispensing mechanism to prevent food buildup and ensure smooth operation. Use a damp cloth; do not submerge the electronic components in water.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD screen, or if the feeder's performance declines. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new alkaline Type C batteries.
• Food Inspection: Regularly check the stored food for moisture, mold, or pests. Discard any compromised food and clean the container thoroughly before refilling.
• Environmental Check: Ensure the feeder remains securely mounted and that its dispensing path is clear of obstructions.
