4.1. Setting the Feeding Schedule

The feeder allows you to program up to 6 meals per day, with 1 to 16 portions per meal.

1. Unlock Control Panel: If the control panel is locked, press and hold the lock button (usually indicated by a padlock icon) for a few seconds until it unlocks.

3. Program Meal Times:
   • Press the "MEAL" or "PROGRAM" button to enter meal setting mode.
   • Select the meal number (e.g., M1, M2, etc.).
   • Set the desired feeding time for that meal.
   • Set the number of portions (1-16) for that meal. Each portion typically dispenses a small, consistent amount of food.
   • Repeat for up to 6 meals.
