A. Setting SmartDoor’s Sensitivity Level | Petsafe PPA11-10711, PPA11-10709

NOTE: The SmartDoor™ is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock ﬂap 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 ﬂap to unlock.

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. 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 ﬂash once.

5. Turn the Sensitivity Knob counter clockwise to the minimum position, then turn the Sensitivity Knob clockwise until all lights begin to ﬂash again.

6.Slowly continue to adjust the Sensitivity Knob clockwise

until you see a minimum of six consecutive ﬂashes 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 ﬁfteen seconds after the SmartKey™ no longer is detected.

8. Now conﬁrm 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 reﬂections. 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.

Depending on location and application

~2.5 feet (76 cm)

~6 feet (183 cm)
