Install Clock Battery and Power Source
The SmartDoor Plus pet door is shipped with the clock battery not installed. This is to prevent loss of
battery life before purchase and use. The 3-V Lithium coin cell battery (size CR2032) needs to be
installed before proceeding with setup, testing and installation. The battery is required to keep the
clock’s time during any power loss. Typical clock battery life is about 1 year with normal use and
operating power from power adapter or rechargeable lithium-ion battery. With no operating
power, expected clock battery life is about 10 weeks. If you will not be using the pet door or have
no operating power for an extended period of time, it is recommended to remove the clock battery
to prevent loss of battery life. When the clock battery needs replaced, if the battery has not been
installed or it has been installed incorrectly, you will receive an alert on the LCD Screen.
Choose your power source for your SmartDoor Plus pet door
to operate. A power adapter and a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery are included. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery can
be used for full operation of the pet door or as a battery back-
up option for the power adapter in case of a power loss.

To Install Power Adapter:
The SmartDoor Plus comes supplied with a low-voltage AC adapter
for power. Insert power adapter into concealed power connection located underneath bottom of

To Install Rechargeable Battery:
