d) In feeding timer mode, three numbers will show up, the first number is the feeding
number (1,2,3,4,5 or 6) and last two digits indicate the feeding time in hours
e) When the feeding timer starts, the BELL icon will turn On. Under feeding-timer
display mode a solid BELL icon means the feeding time has already passed. A
flashing BELL icon means the feeding time has not been reached. This lets the
user know how many feedings are left for feeding
f) If the time for the next feeding is set earlier than the present feeding time, the
feeding will start the next day
g) If the Mode key is pressed and held for more than 2 seconds the number will
rapidly increase automatically until you release the key. When number reaches its
maximum, the number will fall back to the minimum value and start increasing
again
h) If the feeding timer has already begun, pressing the START key will reset the
timer and begin again from the 1st feeding-time set
i) If START TOMORROW key is pressed, both the BELL and Zz icon will be ON.
The Zz icon will turn OFF at 0:00 midnight to indicate the timer has started
j) START TOMORROW is used should you want to set your feeder up today and
have it start tomorrow. This is good for when you have programmed feeding times
that have yet to pass so you can prepare in advance for a possible trip or just
being away the next day and not wanting the feeder to run the day you
programmed it

the FEEDER BASE and push down. The LID pins only align one way on the
FEEDER BASE. Do not use excessive force when installing the LID. Check for
proper alignment if you have trouble getting the LID to lock down on the FEEDER
BASE
SLIDE COVER-(marked B on diagram) – For keeping your pet from eating until
the 1st programmed feeding starts.
FINGER TAB-(marked C on diagram) – For closing the SLIDE COVER which will
lock into the LID
FOOD BOWL-(marked D on diagram) – The FOOD BOWL will seat into the HUB
in the FEEDER BASE in only one position. Be sure the FOOD BOWL seats
