SmartDoor™ – The SmartDoor™ is an intelligent receiver using an internal antenna to pick up a unique SmartKey™ code for selective pet entry and exit.
SmartDoor™ Flap – The SmartDoor™ flap is a weather resistant, plastic flap with UV sun protection.
Antenna - The antenna is located inside the SmartDoor™ and receives radio signals from the SmartKey™. The SmartKey™ must be located within a certain proximity of the antenna in order for the unique code to be read.
Radio-frequency Interference – Radio-frequency interference is due to radio-frequency signals from other household appliances or common electronic products that negatively affect the ability of the SmartDoor™ to receive a signal from a SmartKey™. Radio-frequency interference or “noise” can come from a variety of sources. Interference can be minimal, constant or ever changing based on usage and closeness of other electronic household items during SmartDoor™’s operation. It is recommended that household appliances and common electronic products be placed at least two feet (60 cm) away from the SmartDoor™’s location.
Sensitivity Knob – Conveniently placed on the interior frame of the SmartDoor™ is the sensitivity knob. You can easily adjust the SmartDoor™’s sensitivity, taking into account common interferences and environmental factors to optimize SmartDoor™ operation.
Sensitivity Level – The level of sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the sensitivity knob from minimum to maximum, depending on radio-frequency interference and the SmartDoor™’s application and/or location. Pre-set from the factory, the sensitivity level should not be adjusted until after installation. For example, the sensitivity level may need to be increased if the SmartDoor™ is installed in a metal door. Reference page 10 for more information on how to adjust sensitivity.
MODE-RESET Button – Easily select an Operational Mode on your SmartDoor™ by holding the MODE-RESET button to cycle through selections of operation: LOCKED, UNLOCKED or AUTOMATIC.
LEARN Button – The LEARN button programs a SmartKey™’s unique code to be read by the SmartDoor™. (One) SmartKey™ comes programmed and ready to use. You may program up to five SmartKeys™ (each sold separately) to one SmartDoor™.

Battery Compartment – The battery compartment is located on the Interior Frame and requires (four) D-cell (LR20) batteries. Installation mounting screws, key ring, SmartKey™ and the (one) RFA-67 battery are all located inside the battery box during shipping for your convenience.
