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.

regardless of whether they are paired with the pet door.

Indicator lights

current operating mode of the door. To save battery power, the indicator lights illuminate only when the pet door motion sensor

is activated or when you change a setting.

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

• Flat blade (slotted) screwdriver (optional)

• A raised, level surface, such as two sawhorses (optional)

• Scissors

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.
