Setup Guide

1. Unboxing and Initial Assembly

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. The main unit, perching trays, solar panel, mounting bracket, and necessary screws should be present. The perching trays are designed for easy attachment and removal. The camera unit is integrated into the main feeder body.

2. Powering On and Charging

Locate the power port and the ON/OFF switch on the underside of the main feeder unit. Connect the solar panel cable to the designated port. For initial use, ensure the internal 8000mAh battery is fully charged by exposing the solar panel to direct sunlight for several hours or by using a compatible DC 5V power adapter (not included) if available. Insert an SD card (not included) into the designated slot for local storage, if desired.

The feeder supports both local storage via an SD card (not included) and cloud storage (subscription may be required). This provides flexible options for saving and reviewing captured footage.

Maintenance

1. Refilling Food and Water

The dual food chambers are easily accessible for refilling. The bird bath features a silicone cover that can be removed for quick water refills without disassembling the entire unit. The bottom of the feeder tray includes drainage holes to prevent food from becoming soggy and to ensure proper water flow in the bath area.

2. Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the food chambers and bird bath is recommended to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases among birds. The removable silicone cover on the bird bath facilitates easy cleaning. The IP66 weatherproof rating means the unit can withstand rain and dust, but gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is advised for the camera lenses and solar panel to ensure optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

• No Power/Not Charging: Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check the connection between the solar panel and the feeder. Verify the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure the feeder is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart the feeder and your router if connection drops persist. Follow the app's troubleshooting steps for re-pairing.
• Inaccurate AI Identification: While advanced, AI identification may occasionally misidentify species, especially with partial views or unusual lighting. Cross-reference with field guides if unsure.
• False Alerts: Motion detection can sometimes be triggered by squirrels, large insects, or strong winds. Adjust motion sensitivity settings in the app if available.
• Poor Video Quality: Ensure camera lenses are clean and free from debris. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength for optimal streaming.
