Cleaning The Cat Fl Ap - Petsafe Staywell 500 Serie Guia Del Usuario

The latch will remain inside the cat fl ap until the key is moved away from
the cat fl ap where it will return to the locked position. (Please note that the
Infra-red collar key is required only to enter the cat fl ap.)
Only when the cat is comfortable going in and out of the cat fl ap whilst the
fl ap has been propped open, (in line with the general training tips in the
previous section) should you fi t the collar key onto your cat's collar. When
fi xing the collar to your cat, ensure that the clear base of the key (through
which you should see the green PCB) is pointing forwards and away from
the cat. This is to ensure that the Infra-red beam can reach the sensor on
the cat fl ap.
Due to the generous range of the Infra-red collar key, most cats will have
no problem learning how the cat fl ap is activated and how to gain entry.
There are some cats however, who can take a little longer to become more
confi dent and familiar with the Infra-red functions. Use a favourite treat to
coax your cat towards and through the cat fl ap and reward them when
they get it right.
If your cat has only just become familiar with the using a cat fl ap, it may
take some patience to teach your cat how it the Infra-red function works.
When your cat makes progress, give them a lot of praise. Keep repeating
the exercise until your cat can come through the cat fl ap comfortably.

Cleaning the cat fl ap
Your cat fl ap is constructed in the highest quality material with a
toughened fl ap and has been designed to last for many years.
To maintain its appearance, occasional wiping with a damp cloth is
all that is necessary.
Cleaning the Infra-red lens
For best performance wipe the lens clean every
4 weeks with a soft cloth (Fig. 22). FIG. 22
