Getting Started
With its advanced selective entry technology, our PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap has been designed
to allow your cat easy access to the outside world whilst keeping other troublesome cats and
animals out of your house. Using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap works by reading your cat’s unique microchip ID without the need for a collar
or accessory. When your cat approaches the cat flap, the flap will respond by allowing only your
cat to enter. The cat flap will remain locked and deny access to cats that are not programmed, wild
animals, pests, and strays. The cat flap is also designed with a convenient Manual 4-Way lock that
allows you to control the access of your programmed cats.
This model of the PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap (PPA19-16145) reads the most common type of
microchip implanted in cats – FDX-B (15-digit). If you are not sure what type of microchip your
cat has, please either ask your veterinarian or visit www.petsafe.com and navigate to our Chip
Checker, microchip compatibility checker, and enter your cat’s microchip ID to verify that your
microchip is compatible. Occasionally a microchip migrates to a position within the cat that the
scanner cannot read reliably.
Batteries
The PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap requires four alkaline AA batteries (LR6) for operation. Batteries
are not included with your cat flap. Please use new, non-rechargeable batteries for best results. To
install batteries, remove the battery cover from the top of the interior frame, set aside the hardware
pack, and place the batteries in the proper direction. Once installed, the green LED will quickly
flash 3 times indicating the cat flap is in Automatic Mode and is ready for programming.
Note: With basic operation the batteries will typically last 12 months. The cat flap is designed
with a low battery indicator, for more information, see the Basic Operation Guide section.
