2. Power Supply
The feeder supports dual power supply options:
- USB Adapter: Connect the provided USB cable to the feeder and the power adapter, then plug it into a wall outlet.
- D-Cell Batteries: For backup power during outages, insert 3 D-cell batteries (not included) into the battery compartment at the bottom of the feeder.
Using both power sources simultaneously ensures uninterrupted operation.
3. Fill Food Tank

Operating Instructions
1. Setting Feeding Schedule
The feeder allows you to customize your pet's feeding routine with up to 6 meals per day and up to 30 portions per meal (approximately 10g per portion).
- Use the control panel buttons to set the current time.
- Program each mealtime and the desired number of portions.
- Refer to the detailed instructions in the included user manual for specific button functions and programming steps.
2. Slow Feed Mode
To prevent fast eating, gulping, bloating, and digestive discomfort, activate the Slow Feed mode. This dispenses food gradually over a longer period. Consult the full user manual for instructions on enabling this feature.
3. Voice Recording Function
Record a 10-second voice message to call your pet at meal times. Your familiar voice can provide comfort and reduce separation anxiety.
- Press and hold the record button (usually indicated by a microphone icon) until you hear a beep.
- Speak your message clearly into the microphone.
- Release the button when finished. The recording will play during scheduled meal times.
Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and proper functioning of the feeder.
- Stainless Steel Bowl: The stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

2. Recommended Food Types
The feeder is suitable for dry kibble, freeze-dried food, and air-dried food. Ensure the pellet size is between 2mm and 15mm. Do not use pellets larger than 15mm, as they may cause clogging. Wet food is not compatible with this feeder.
