Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HoneyGuaridan SL900, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not powering on. | Power adapter not connected, power outlet issue, or battery (if installed) is depleted. | Ensure power adapter is securely plugged in. Test the outlet with another device. If using battery, check charge level or connect to main power. |
| Cleaning cycle not starting automatically. | Motion sensor obstructed, cat still inside, or unit in Kitten Mode. | Check for obstructions around the sensor. Ensure no cat is inside. Verify operating mode in the app. |
| Waste not being properly scooped. | Litter level too low/high, incorrect litter type, or mechanism obstruction. | Adjust litter level. Ensure you are using clumping litter. Check for large clumps or foreign objects obstructing the scooping mechanism. |
| App not connecting to the device. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password, 5GHz Wi-Fi network, or device too far from router. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network (the device only supports 2.4GHz). Move the litter box closer to the Wi-Fi router. |
| Excessive litter tracking. | Cat exiting quickly, or litter mat not positioned correctly. | Ensure the included litter mat is placed directly in front of the entrance. Consider a different litter type if tracking persists. |
