ROJECO Automatic Pet Feeder (Model WSQ-001) User Manual

Introduction

The ROJECO Automatic Pet Feeder offers advanced remote control capabilities through its user-friendly mobile application, allowing pet owners to manage feeding schedules from any location. This feeder supports up to 12 scheduled meals per day, with customizable times and portion sizes. For instance, a cat can be scheduled for breakfast at 7 AM, lunch at 12 PM, and dinner at 7 PM, each with a 30g portion. The app also includes a manual feeding option for dispensing extra portions as needed, whether for rewards, snacks, or missed meals. Real-time notifications keep owners informed about meal dispensing, low food levels (around 10% capacity), low battery status, and any operational errors like a jammed auger or Wi-Fi disconnection. These alerts ensure continuous monitoring of the pet's feeding status and the feeder's performance, providing peace of mind.
