4.2 Desiccant Bag Replacement

The feeder includes a desiccant bag to keep the dry food fresh. Replace the desiccant bag periodically (e.g., every 1-2 months) to maintain optimal food freshness. The desiccant bag is typically located in the lid or a dedicated compartment.

5. Troubleshooting

• Food Not Dispensing:
  • Check if the feeder is powered on and connected to AC power or has charged batteries.
  • Verify the food tank is not empty.

• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The feeder does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Move the feeder closer to your router if necessary.
  • Restart your router and the feeder, then attempt to reconnect via the app.
• App Not Responding:
  • Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection.
  • Close and reopen the app.
  • Check for app updates in your app store.
• Voice Recording Not Playing:
  • Ensure the voice recording feature is enabled in the app settings.
  • Verify the volume setting on the feeder (if adjustable) or within the app.
