Backup Battery Instructions
Installing the Backup Battery
The Backup Battery provides approximately 8-12 hours of operation
in power-saving mode if power is interrupted. When power is
interrupted, the unit will automatically switch to battery power and a
yellow light will illuminate the Power button on the Control Panel. The
Feeder-Robot will switch back to household power when it returns,
and the unit will begin recharging the battery.
Installation:
1. Press the Power button to turn the Feeder-Robot off, then un-
plug the unit.
2. Make sure there is no food in the Feeder-Robot before turning
the unit over to access the battery pocket.
3. Gently turn the unit over to access the battery pocket on the
underside of the Base.
4. Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the battery
pocket in place.
5. Remove the cover of the battery pocket.
6. Connect the battery leads as follows: RED lead to the RED
terminal; and BLACK lead to the BLACK terminal. Note: If you find
it difficult to access the wires, use pliers.
7. Insert the battery into the pocket so that the connected side
goes into the Base first.
8. Align the cover across the bottom of the battery and screw the
cover back into place using the original screws.
9. Plug in the Feeder-Robot and press the Power button to turn it
on.
10. Add food to the Hopper or Hopper Insert if using.
The Backup Battery can be ordered at www.feeder-robot.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much food does the Feeder-Robot dispense?
The Feeder-Robot dispenses up to 1 cup of food (or 2 cups if using
the app) in 1/4-cup increments, 1 to 8 times per day.
What type of food can the Feeder-Robot dispense?
You can use any dry or semi-moist kibble, 5/8 inch or smaller.
Should I schedule my pet’s meals or use Gravity Mode?
Deciding how to use the Feeder-Robot depends on your pet’s eating
habits. If your dog or cat has a habit of overeating or eating very
quickly, you may wish to schedule your pet’s meals. By scheduling
meals, your pet will be eating a measured amount, 1 to 8 times a
day. If your pet has no issue with overeating and tends to “graze”
throughout the day (this is more likely with cats than dogs), you may
wish to use Gravity Mode. In Gravity Mode, the Feeder-Robot Bowl
remains full based on a check every 60 minutes.
How do I clean the Feeder-Robot?
Hand-wash removable parts with mild soap; let completely air dry
before re-assembling the Feeder-Robot. The Bowl(s), Hopper Lid,
Hopper Insert, Hopper, and Rocker are removable. Wipe down
non-removable parts that touch pet food. Do NOT submerge the
Feeder-Robot Base or Control Panel in water.
When and how often should I clean the Feeder-Robot?
We recommend that you clean the Feeder-Robot before its first use,
and at least once a month after that. The best time to clean is when
the Hopper or Hopper Insert and Bowl are already empty.
Can I use the AutoPets Connect app with both iOS and Android?
The AutoPets Connect app is compatible with Apple mobile devices
with iOS 9.0 or greater and Android devices 6.0 or greater.
