INSTALLATION
Checklist Before Installation
Before installing the SmartDoor
™
Plus pet door, it is important to consider the following:
*
Clock battery is installed.
*
If using the power adapter, a power outlet has been located inside the home within reach of the installation location. If not, you
have a power cord extension to reach the outlet or are using the rechargeable lithium-ion battery as the power source.
*
Planned location has been checked for possible radio-frequency interference by ensuring all common household appliances
and electronic devices are at least 2 feet away (61 cm).
*
Power adapter and motion sensor wire have been disconnected or if using rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it has
been removed.
*
“Initial User Setup” steps to set the language, time and date have been completed.
*
Each pet to use the pet door has a SmartDoor Plus Key and is successfully programmed to the pet door.
*
Each programmed SmartDoor Plus Key has been tested in the installation location on both interior and exterior side with the pet
door reading each key.
*
If installing in a door, no components of the pet door be obstructed by the door opening and closing.
*
If installing in a wall, you have a SmartDoor Plus Wall Entry Kit. The pet door fits doors or applications 1 inch to 2 inches
thick. Wall installations and thicker applications 3 ½ inches up to 12 inches require the wall kit (sold separately, see “Replacement
Parts and Accessories”
page 28).
*
If installing in a wall, no objects (such as doors, shrubs, heat pump, etc.) could obstruct the pet door once installed.
*
If installing in a wall, you have checked for electrical and plumbing fixtures in the wall where you plan to install the pet door.
