Operating Instructions
The PEKTACO Cat Water Fountain offers three intelligent operating modes:
- Motion Detection Mode: The fountain activates when your pet approaches within 1.5 meters, dispensing water for a short period. This conserves battery life and encourages drinking.
- Timed Mode: The fountain dispenses water for 15 seconds every 15 minutes. This provides regular access to fresh water while still being energy efficient.
- Continuous Mode: The fountain provides a continuous flow of water. This mode is ideal if the fountain is connected to a power source via the USB cable.
To switch between modes, press the mode selection button on the main control module. The indicator light will change to reflect the selected mode.
Charging the Battery
When the battery is low, the indicator light will signal. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the main control module and to a suitable USB power adapter (not included). A full charge can last up to 50 days, depending on the operating mode and frequency of use.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for your pet's health and the longevity of the fountain.
