NOTE: The SmartDoor
™
is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock ap when a
SmartKey
™
is detected. Do not allow your pet to run or charge through the SmartDoor
™
. Due to
variable radio-frequency interferences it could take several seconds for SmartKey
™
’s unique code
to read properly and SmartDoor
™
’s ap to unlock.
SET
A. Setting SmartDoor
™
’s Sensitivity Level
It is necessary to set your SmartDoor
™
’s sensitivity level so your pet’s SmartKey
™
works properly
due to location or application material, such as radio-frequency interferences, wood or metal
door installations.
To begin, it is recommended to use the split ring (included) to attach the SmartKey
™
to the D-ring
on your pet’s collar. Also do not use metal tags as the additional metal can cause radio-frequency
interference and hinder the detection of your pet’s SmartKey
™
. Now, continue with the following
“product in use” steps:
1. Put the dog’s collar on your leg just below your knee. Tape
may be used to secure the collar, if necessary. See A.
2.
Stand directly in front of the SmartDoor
™
so the SmartKey
™
is approximately 2.5 feet (76 cm) from the SmartDoor
™
.
3. Put the SmartDoor
™
in the UNLOCKED Mode. (See page 6
for operational instructions).
4. Put the SmartDoor
™
in the Sensitivity Test Mode by
holding down the MODE-RESET and LEARN buttons at the
same time until all three lights ash once.
5. Turn the Sensitivity Knob counter clockwise to the
minimum position, then turn the Sensitivity Knob
clockwise until all lights begin to ash again.
6. Slowly continue to adjust the Sensitivity Knob clockwise
until you see a minimum of six consecutive ashes and
stop adjusting. Do not adjust higher than necessary.
7. Put the SmartDoor
™
in AUTOMATIC Mode and step away
at least 10 feet (3 m), allowing the door to automatically
lock. This may take up to fteen seconds after the
SmartKey
™
no longer is detected.
8. Now conrm the sensitivity level by approaching the
SmartDoor
™
again. The door should unlock when you
step within approximately 2 feet (60 cm) in front of the
SmartDoor
™
.

B. Understanding Sensitivity and the
Active Area
The Active Area is the area where the SmartDoor
™
will
consistently open based on your adjustment of the
sensitivity level. In the Fringe Area the SmartDoor
™
may
open inconsistently due to variables of radio-frequency
interferences or reections. In the Inactive Area the door
will generally not unlock automatically. See B.
You may see slight differences between Outside and Inside
Active Areas due to radio-frequency interferences.

C. Programming a New SmartKey
™
To reduce error while programming, remove the RFA-67 battery from all programmed SmartKeys
™
except the one you are programming. Press and hold the LEARN button until the green light
illuminates and begins to ash, now release the button. Bring the SmartKey
™
directly below the
green light and the light will stop ashing and illuminate for two seconds. Now your new SmartKey
™
has been programmed and added to memory. Up to ve different SmartKeys
™
can be added, one at
a time.
D. Attach the SmartKey
™
to the Pet’s Collar
A split key ring has been provided to attach to your pet’s
collar and should hang under the pet’s neck.
The SmartDoor
™
includes (one) SmartKey
™
which comes
pre-programmed and ready to use.
