4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Manual Operation

To initiate a cleaning cycle manually, press the designated button on the front panel of the litter box. The unit will complete a full cleaning cycle, sifting waste into the sealed bin below.

4.2 Automatic Operation & App Control

The litter box can operate automatically or be controlled via the dedicated smartphone app. In automatic mode, the unit detects when your cat has used the litter box and initiates a cleaning cycle after a set delay.

• App Features: The app allows you to monitor your cat's usage habits, track their weight, view operation logs, and remotely control cleaning cycles (Empty, Clean, Reset).
• Cleaning Delay: Adjust the cleaning delay time via the app (up to 60 minutes) to ensure your cat has exited the box and the waste has clumped sufficiently before cleaning begins.
• Working Mode: Switch between Automatic and Manual working modes through the app interface.

4.3 Safety Features

The Thereye litter box is equipped with multiple safety mechanisms to protect your cat:

• Infrared Sensors: Three infrared sensors detect your cat's presence. If a cat approaches or enters during a cleaning cycle, the unit will automatically pause.
• Weight Sensors: Four weight sensors located in the feet of the unit detect when a cat is inside. The cleaning cycle will pause instantly if weight (over 2 lbs) is detected and resume 5 seconds after the cat exits.
• Motor Overload Protection: If the motor detects unusual resistance (over 800mA), it reverses automatically and alerts with a beep, then auto-resets.
• App Warnings: Receive exception alerts directly on your smartphone app for any detected safety issues.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Emptying the Waste Bin

The 10L large waste bin can hold waste for up to 2 weeks for a single cat, eliminating daily scooping. To empty, simply pull out the waste bin, tie off the liner bag, and dispose of the waste. Replace with a new liner and slide the bin back into place. The unit will pause operation if the waste bin is removed.
