10. Low Battery Indicator
Batteries last typically for at least 6 months with normal levels of use. When the batteries are
nearing the end of their life, the low battery indicator comes on. This is a slow red ash of the
indicator lamp, once every 5 seconds. The unit will continue to operate when the low battery
indicator is on, however the batteries should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
Note the slow ash of the lamp (every 5 seconds) for the low battery indicator is different from
the fast ashing (every second) in learn mode. Learn mode should not be used when the
batteries are low – replace the batteries before programming a new microchip or collar tag into
the memory.
11. Memory Wipe
It is very unlikely that you will need to wipe a cat’s microchip or collar tag code from the cat ap’s
memory. Up to 32 different codes can be stored in memory, and if more additional codes are
learnt these simply replace the earliest ones stored. You can also change a cat’s permissions
at any time, as described in section 5.3. However, in the unlikely circumstance that you need
to wipe the memory (e.g. you accidentally programme for next door’s cat!), follow the process
below.
1. Press and hold the memory button for at least 10 seconds.
2. The indicator lamp will stay on for the duration that the button is held down.
3. When the memory is wiped, the catch will open and close once.
4. At this point the memory is clear and the cat ap can re-learn your cat(s) microchip
numbers, as required.
12. Switching Off/Use As A Non-Selective Cat Flap
In the event that you want to turn off your DualScan cat ap and revert to using it as a standard
cat ap (so that any cat can exit or enter at any time), follow the four steps below:
1. Remove the battery cover and make sure batteries are installed.
2. Press the memory button once to put the cat ap into learn mode. The catch will open and
the indicator lamp will ash green.
3. Remove the batteries and replace the battery cover.
4. The catch will stay open and the DualScan cat ap can now be used as a standard cat ap.
This mode may be useful if you have purchased the DualScan cat ap before your cat has
been microchipped or while your cat is getting used to the presence of its new cat ap (see
troubleshooting guide). Alternatively, the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag is available if your cat is not
yet microchipped.
Note: Keep indoor-only cats out of the room with the cat ap in when operating as a non-
selective cat ap.
