• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the feeder's performance declines or the display indicates low power.
• Food Storage: Ensure fish food is dry before loading into the feeder to prevent clumping, especially with flake food. For flakes, it is recommended to cut them smaller for even distribution.
