Get to know your new pet door
Although you will control most of the pet door functionality through the My PetSafe®app, there are a few buttons and indicator
lights on the pet door that are important to understand.

unlock the door manually.

regardless of whether they are paired with the pet door.

Indicator lights
Indicator lights on the interior side of the pet door provide information about the Wi-Fi and internet connection, battery life and
current operating mode of the door. To save battery power, the indicator lights illuminate only when the pet door motion sensor

Download the My PetSafe®app from your phone’s app store.
Open the app and follow the on-screen prompts to:
• Create an account and sign into the app. You will need a
valid email address.
• Add your SmartDoor™to the app. You will need your home
Wi-Fi password.
• Create a pet profile for each pet that will use the
SmartDoor™.
Continuing in the app, add each pet to the SmartDoor™by
scanning their Pet Door Key. During the pairing process, move
the Pet Door Key a little to activate the motion sensor.
If you have a cat and a medium SmartDoor™, you also have the
option of pairing the door to your cat’s implanted microchip.
If you choose this option, do a little additional testing after
pairing to make sure the pet door consistently senses your
cat as she passes near the pet door. The location of your
cat’s microchip can affect how well the pet door detects her
presence. If you find that the pet door is not reliably responding
to your cat’s microchip, you may need to pair her to the pet
door with a Pet Door Key instead.
Download and set up the app

Measure your pet’s shoulder height when standing. If you have
more than one pet, measure the tallest one. Make a note of
this measurement.
Make a mark at your pet’s shoulder height on the interior
side of the door. Using a level, extend the line several inches
in both directions. This will help you place the cutting
template correctly.
The pet door must be installed level to work properly.
Draw a vertical line where you want the center of the pet
door to be. If your door has inset panels, consider how best
to position the pet door to avoid gaps between the pet door
frames and the door.
Using a level, extend the line several inches in both directions.
