The Tabacir Smart Litter Box features advanced safety sensors, remote app control, effective odor management, and a spacious design suitable for cats weighing between 2.5 and 35 pounds.

2. Safety Features
Your cat's safety is our top priority. The Tabacir Smart Litter Box is equipped with 10 safety sensor radars, significantly more than standard automatic litter boxes, to ensure maximum protection during operation.

These sensors intelligently detect the presence of your cat. If a cat approaches or enters the litter box during a cleaning cycle, the system will immediately halt the drum's rotation, preventing any potential harm. The Living-Being Radar specifically detects living objects, ensuring the system only operates when clear.

3. Setup Guide
3.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging: the main unit, exhaust duct, storage box, cat litter mat, and litter bags.
- Place the litter box on a flat, stable surface indoors, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for proper ventilation and access.
- Connect the power adapter to the unit and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
3.2 Initial Litter Fill
- Open the drum and fill it with clumping cat litter. The Tabacir Smart Litter Box is compatible with various litter types including Mineral, Tofu, Bentonite, and Mixed litters.
- Ensure the litter level is between the MIN and MAX lines indicated inside the drum. Do not overfill.
3.3 Installing the Cat Stairs and Mat
- Attach the cat stairs to the front of the litter box. These stairs are designed to assist kittens, older cats, sick cats, or short-legged cats in easily entering and exiting the unit.
- Ensure the stairs are pulled out approximately halfway to optimize their function and litter collection.
- Place the detachable cat litter mat (300D Oxford cloth) in front of the stairs to further collect scattered litter. This mat is anti-leakage, anti-stick bottom, anti-scratch, and easy to clean.

4.3 Automatic Cleaning Cycle
After your cat exits the litter box, the system will automatically initiate a cleaning cycle after a set delay (configurable via app). The drum rotates to sift out waste, which is then deposited into the sealed waste bin below.

4.4 Odor Control System
The semi-enclosed design and advanced deodorizing fragrance system, combined with a built-in ventilation fan, actively work to neutralize odors, keeping your home fresh. For optimal odor control, it is recommended to change the trash bag frequently.
4.5 Quiet Operation
The Tabacir Smart Litter Box operates at a whisper-quiet 32 dB, ensuring minimal disturbance to you and your cat, even during nighttime cleaning cycles.
