partment cover (5).
Note
When changing the battery, we suggest leaving the feeder main switch

Please note that batteries often are not fully charged when purchased.
We recommend checking and if necessary charging the battery before
starting operation. Use a customary charger.
SAFETY HINTS FOR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Only use high-quality batteries of popular brands. When inserting the bat-
tery please respect the correct polarity (+/-). Please remove battery when
device is not in use for a long period of time. Do not throw the batteries
into fire, do not short-circuit and do not disassemble them – risk of explo-
sion! Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Risk of battery
acid burn! Clean the contacts before inserting fresh batteries. In case of
contact with battery acid, rinse the affected area immediately with water
and contact a doctor. Batteries can be dangerous to life if swallowed. Keep
batteries away from small children and pets. Do not dispose of batteries in
household waste (see also capture "Disposal of Batteries/Accumulators").

(indicates the length of test feeding in seconds).

quantity of feed is spread for testing purposes.

start within 3 seconds.

Keep a distance of minimum 7m from the feeder
for both test and regular operation. Protect your eyes and
