Note:
The SmartDoor
™
Plus pet door is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock the flap system when a SmartDoor
Plus Key is detected. Do not allow your pet to run or charge through the pet door. Due to variable radio-frequency interferences and
the location where your pet door is installed, it could take several seconds for the unique code of the
SmartDoor Plus Key to be read and the flap system to unlock.
6A
To train your pet, set the pet door to
Open Mode
(see “Door Operational Modes” page 21).
Lift or tape main flap and interior U-flap open using string to help your pet become familiar with the
pet door opening.
MAKE SURE TAPED FLAP IS SECURE AND WILL NOT FALL DURING
TRAINING
. Try to encourage your pet to come through the door. DO NOT FORCE your pet through
the door or they may become frightened.
If your pet is timid, it might be helpful to lock the exterior U-flap so it does not move and scare your pet. To lock exterior U-flap,
make sure interior U-flap and main flap are securely taped open while in
Open Mode
. Next, change Door Operational Mode to
Locked Mode
(see “Door Operational Modes” page 21). This will lock the exterior U-flap. Please be aware you may receive the
“Flap Held Open” error message on the LCD screen. This message will go away once you lower the flaps after your pet is trained.
Encourage your pet to use the pet door. Food is usually a good motivator. First feed your pet close to the pet door on the inside. Once
your pet is comfortable approaching the pet door, move food to the outside to try to get your pet to go through the opening. After
your pet has used the pet door a few times, lower flaps and change door back to
Open Mode
. Hold flaps open and get your pet
to go through the door while gently lowering flaps so they can touch your pet’s back. This will help your pet become familiar with the
flaps. Encourage your pet to push through the flaps on their own.
