Using the PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap is easy. First, make sure to install it correctly. It can be directly installed into wood, PVC, and uPVC. For metal, glass, brick, or wall installation, you'll need to buy additional accessories. Next, program your cat's microchip ID or use the collar keys if your cat doesn't have a microchip. The flap can store up to 40 pet identities. You can use the 4 - way manual lock to control your cat's access. Set it to 'In or Out' for normal use, 'In Only' if you want your cat to come back home only, 'Out Only' if you want it to go out freely and come back by other means, or 'Fully Locked' to prevent any entry or exit. When it comes to the batteries, the flap uses 4 AA non - rechargeable alkaline batteries. You can expect an estimated 12 - month battery life, but it may vary depending on usage. Keep an eye on the low - battery indicator light. When it flashes red, it's time to replace the batteries. Remember to confirm microchip compatibility through the PetSafe website. Also, if you have any questions about your pet's microchip number, don't hesitate to ask your veterinarian or local animal rescue.
