4. Operating Instructions
The Qinliy Q108 offers three distinct water dispensing modes. Select the mode that best suits your pet's needs and your household environment.
Image 4.1: Overview of the three water modes.
4.1 Mode Selection:
- Sensor Mode: The fountain dispenses water for 15 seconds when your pet approaches within approximately 59 inches (1.5 meters). This mode is recommended for power conservation.
- Timer Mode: Water flows for 15 seconds every 15 minutes, providing regular access to fresh water.
- Continuous Mode: Provides a continuous flow of water 24/7. This mode requires the fountain to be plugged into an external power source.
To switch between modes, press the mode selection button on the battery compartment unit. Refer to the indicator lights for the currently active mode.
5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and extending the life of your fountain.
5.1 Cleaning:
- Disassembly: Unplug the fountain if in continuous mode. Remove the pump unit, filter tray, stainless steel water tray, and water tank.
