6. Learn Mode
To start operation, the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door needs to learn the unique ID code of your
pet’s microchip. This process is only required once for each pet, as the code is permanently
stored, even if the batteries are removed. Follow the simple step-by-step guide below to carry
out this process:
1. Remove the button cover. Press the learn button ( ) for around 1 second and release.
See Figure 1.
2. The locks will open, allowing a pet to pass through in either direction. A further indication that
the unit is in learn mode is the ashing of the icons on the LCD screen.
3. The next pet to pass through the ap from either direction, or to put its head into the tunnel
with its nose up to the door, will have its microchip number stored in the memory.
4. Once a pet’s microchip number has been successfully learnt, the pet door reverts to normal
operation and the LCD screen will stop ashing. Once your pet moves away from the pet
door the locks will close.
For multiple pets, repeat the process until all pets’ microchip numbers have been learnt. The
microchip numbers of up to 32 different pets can be stored in memory at once. Replace the
button cover when the learn process has been completed for each pet.
This method of learning is particularly convenient for uncooperative pets! Rather than having to
nd your pet and pass it through the ap, you can simply set it to learn mode and leave until it
next decides to go through or put its head up to the door of its own free will.
To cancel learn mode (e.g. after pressing the learn button accidentally) simply press the learn
button ( ) again for around 1 second and the unit will revert to normal operation.
In order to learn a pet’s microchip number, a sensor located in the tunnel must detect a
pet’s presence to trigger the microchip reader. Therefore it is important to ensure that
your pet either puts its head into the tunnel or passes through the ap. No amount of
waving your pet in front of the door will have an effect.
To learn the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag carry out steps one to three above. Hold the collar tag in
your hand and then place your hand inside the tunnel of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door making
sure that you touch the door. The unique code of the collar tag will be stored in the memory after
a few seconds.
