Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble the feeder. Typically, this involves attaching the food hopper to the base and securing any mounting brackets if needed. Ensure all parts are tightly fitted.
Connecting Power
Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet and connect it to the feeder. Turn on the device if it has a power button. Wait for the indicator lights to confirm the device is powered and ready.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
Download the companion app specified in the manual on your smartphone. Follow the app’s instructions to connect the feeder to your Wi-Fi network. Ensure your phone is connected to the same network during setup.

Open the app and create an account if required. Add your device by selecting the “Add Device” option and following the prompts. Name your feeder for easy identification, such as “Fido’s Feeder.”
Scheduling Feedings
Use the app to set feeding times and portion sizes. Confirm the schedule and test the device to ensure it dispenses food correctly at the designated times.
Testing the Setup
Press the manual feed button in the app to verify the feeder dispenses food properly. Check that the food container is filled and the food is accessible for your pet.
