before cleaning the cage door, replacing the battery and to access the Fahrenheit/Celsius
switch located on the back.

Always remove the meter and bracket before cleaning the cage door, avoid using
chemicals around meter.
Adjustable Vents
Vents located on the face of the cage door can be
rotated to increase or decrease the openings, adjusting
the airflow into and out of the cage.
A patient occupied cage, a heating pad, humidified
oxygen and ambient room conditions are all variables
that can effect the temperature and humidity levels
inside the cage. Adjust the vents as required to reduce
condensation within the cage.
Keep hands, fingers and patients limbs clear of
possible pinch areas when adjusting the vents,
which if not avoided, could result in MINOR to
MODERATE INJURY.
Reversing Cage Door Swing
The standard door swing is a right-hand pull, with hinges located on the left and a latch on
the right. Cage doors can be flipped to swing with a left-hand pull by relocating the hinges,
latch assembly and rotating the door. (Single door cages only)
