Simple Troubleshooting

Q: Cannot be configured

A: 1) Ensure the Wi-Fi name and password do not use Chinese characters and are no more than 12 digits. Use a combination of numbers and letters. Do not use 5G Wi-Fi signals; please use 2.4G Wi-Fi signals.

A: 2) Some software conflicts on the mobile phone can cause network connection failure. Please restart the mobile phone, close non-system software that automatically runs when the phone turns on, then turn on the mobile phone's Bluetooth and location services, and try reconnecting.

Q: The feeder is feeding inaccurately or cannot work

A: Please check if there is too much food on the food tray or if the food outlet is blocked. Clean the food outlet and food channel regularly. If using battery power, check if the batteries are depleted or leaking.

Q: The feeder displays offline

A: Check if the distance between the feeder and the router is more than 10 meters (effective distance is 10 meters). Keep the feeder and router without any obstructions. According to Wi-Fi characteristics, the Wi-Fi signal can drop sharply if there are obstructions, leading to unstable connections and offline status.

Q: No response when turning on the feeder

A: Please check that the feeder is plugged in and the switch is on. If both are confirmed, check whether the power adapter and power cord are damaged, and contact customer service for assistance.
