Worn on your pet’s collar, the Passport Key™ uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology by using a unique code to signal the Passport™ to operate as programmed for your pet. The Passport Key™ does not require a battery to operate. One Passport Key™ is included which is NOT pre-programmed to operate with your Passport™. The Passport Pet Access Smart System™ can be programmed for up to 20 pets. Additional Passport Key™ accessories are sold separately.
CloseYes, Passport™ Wall Entry Kits are available for wall installations or installation in thicker applications (3 - 12” thick). The Wall Entry Kit frames out the wall cut-out, giving your door installation a clean, smooth, finished look. You may purchase a Passport™ Wall Entry Kit; scroll down to Accessories to purchase the Wall Entry Kit for this door or call our Customer Care Center.
CloseIf a problem continues or if you still have issues after turning off your pet door, you may need to reset your door. The reset button “reboots” your door while keeping your programmed settings.

After your door reboots, the startup screen will appear and then return to Main Menu.
CloseIt can be difficult to find a pet door that will match your old one exactly. First, you'll need to measure the cutout hole in your door. Note that this is the cutout in the door, not the pet door frame. Next, pick a door that is closest in measurement. You can find the dimensions for our pet doors in this chart.
You might need to cut the hole in your door a little bigger to accommodate a slightly larger new door. To replace it with a slightly smaller door instead, add additional pieces of wood to the inside of the hole.
Contact our Customer Care Center for help with selecting and installing a new door.
CloseBecause of the way our cat doors, electronic doors, and screen door are designed, flaps aren't available separately and can't be replaced. If your flap breaks, you will need to purchase and install a new door. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Close"The Passport™ is shipped with the clock battery not installed. This is to prevent loss of battery life before purchase and use. The 3-volt lithium coin cell battery (size CR2032) will need to be installed before proceeding with setup, testing, and installation. The battery is required to keep the clock’s time during any power loss.
Battery Life
Typical battery life is about 1 year with normal use and operating power from power adapter or optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery (sold separately). With no operating power, the expected battery life is about 10 weeks. If you will not be using the Passport™ or have no operating power for an extended period of time, it is recommended to remove the clock battery to prevent loss of battery life. When clock battery needs to be replaced, if battery has not been installed, or was installed incorrectly, you will receive an alert on the LCD screen.
To install clock battery
Remove clock battery cover from back of interior frame. Battery slot is located on left side of circuit board. Insert battery with positive (+) side facing the right side of the battery slot. Make sure battery is fully inserted. Reinsert battery cover and push to snap into place.
To install power adapter
The Passport Pet Access Smart System™ is supplied with a low-voltage AC adapter for power. Insert power adapter into concealed power connection located underneath bottom of interior frame.
An optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery is available to use with the Passport™. If using the Passport™ Rechargeable Battery instead of adapter for power source, insert it into battery compartment on right side of interior frame.
Do not proceed with cut-out or installation until your Passport™ is assembled, powered up, programmed for your pet and installation steps 1 and 2 have been completed.
CloseFor testing purposes, the Passport™ motion sensor wire should have been connected from the interior frame to exterior frame at the factory. Before proceeding with the next steps, make sure the motion wire is connected or the Passport™ will not detect the Passport Key™ and open from the outside during testing.
It is important to understand how the Passport™ interior and exterior motion sensors work and keep this in mind when selecting your installation location. When the Passport™ motion sensors detect movement, they trigger the reader, which detects and reads the Passport Key,™ to turn on. The areas where the motion sensors can detect motion are called the Motion Sensing Zones.
Where your pet is detected within the Motion Sensing Zones can depend on your pet’s size and hair type, surrounding temperatures, and the location where the Passport™ is installed. For example, if your pet has longer hair, it may take longer for the motion sensors to detect your pet.
If your Passport™ is installed in a location with stairs on one side, the motion sensor will detect your pet differently on the side with the stairs than on the side without the stairs. Blind Zones are areas where the motion sensors cannot detect your pet and the Passport™ will not read your pet’s Passport Key™.
ClosePrior to installation, it is recommended to set-up, program and test the Passport Pet Access Smart System™ in the intended installation location or application to check for possible radio-frequency interferences. These interferences could negatively affect the Passport™ from working properly and receiving the signal of the Passport Key™.
Common household appliances and electronic products should be located at least two feet (61cm) away from the location where the Passport™ will be installed. Typical household products to consider are microwaves, televisions, wireless telephones, computers, garage door openers and hand-held electronic devices such as remote controls or game stations.
CloseImportant:
Planning to Install the Door
To use the Passport™ control panel to begin setup, press the enter key on 5-Star Navigation and follow steps below:
Select Language
The Passport™ is factory-set to the English language. To change language:
Select Time Format
The Passport™ clock can be set to 12-hour or 24-hour format. To select time format and set time:
Select Date Format
The date can be set to month/day or day/month format. To select date format and set date:
After setting last field, you are ready to program your pet’s Passport Key™ to the pet door. Ensure your pet’s Passport Key™ is nearby before pressing enter to accept date and start programming key. Programming the Passport Key™ to the Passport™ is time sensitive.
CloseA Passport Key™ is required for your pet to be programmed to and access the Passport Pet Access Smart System™. One Passport Key™ is included. Additional Passport Key™ accessories are available for multiple pet households. The Passport™ can be programmed for up to 20 Passport Key™ accessories or pets.
Have your pet’s Passport Key™ nearby before beginning the “Initial User Setup” steps. Programming is time sensitive with 30 seconds for the Passport™ to read and store the unique ID of your pet’s Passport Key™. If you are programming multiple pets, it is important to note which key belongs to which pet. The Initial User Set Up and Programming Pet steps quickly get your Passport™ ready for you and your pet to use. These steps can be completed using the Passport™ control panel or the Passport™ Computer Application. To use the Computer Application, see “Connect Passport™ to Computer.”
Only one pet/Passport Key™ at a time can be programmed. Any other Passport Key™ near the pet door will prevent proper programming. Also, do NOT hold the Passport Key™ in your hand against LCD screen when you press enter key to accept date and start programming pet. This could prevent the Passport Key™ from programming properly.
To program pet:
If your pet’s Passport Key™ is not successfully programmed, you will receive a failure message on the LCD screen. If the Passport™ does not program your pet’s Passport Key™ after a few tries, double check for household appliances, electronic devices , or any other Passport Key™ accessories in the area that may be interfering and remove them from the location. Then try to program your pet’s Passport Key™ again.
If you continue to have issues, move the Passport™ to another location and follow the “Program Pet” steps once more. If the attempt to program your pet’s Passport Key™ in the new location is unsuccessful, please contact our Customer Care Center for additional help. DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION.
Once you successfully complete programming of your pet’s Passport Key™ to the Passport™, the Pet Settings menu will display. All programmed pets will be listed at the bottom of the screen. You are now ready to test your Passport Key.
CloseOnce your pet’s Passport Key™ has been programmed, it is important to test to make sure it is working properly and can be read by the Passport™ in your planned installation location. Testing should be done on both the interior and exterior side of the location for each programmed Passport Key™.
Understanding Read Range
Prior to testing the Passport Key™, it is important to understand the Read Range of the Passport™. Read Range is the distance between the Passport Key™ and the Passport™ when it first detects the key and triggers the flap system to unlock or operate as programmed for your pet. The Read Range can be up to 10” or it may be less depending on the location and application in which the Passport™ is installed. The mechanism which detects and reads the Passport Key™ is located within the interior pet door frame. Due to this, you may see slight differences between the Read Range on the inside and outside of the Passport™. To test the Passport Key™, the Passport™ Door Operational Mode must be set to Smart Mode (which is default factory setting). Check to make sure the Passport™ is in Smart Mode prior to testing.
To Test Key:
If the Passport™ does not read your pet’s programmed Passport Key™ after several testing attempts, you may need to relearn the key. Make sure you relearn the Passport Key™ at 5” to 6” from the flap then test the key again. If the Passport™ will still not read the key, move to another location and follow key testing steps once more.
If the “To Test Key” steps continue to be unsuccessful, contact our Customer Care Center for additional help. DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION. If the Passport™ is reading your pet’s programmed Passport Key™ and ALL setup steps were successful, you can proceed with preparing your pet’s Passport Key™ and installation. IF ANY STEPS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION. Contact our Customer Care Center for assistance.
Prepare Passport Key™
Attach the Passport Key™ to your pet’s collar using the included split key rings. For best results, attach the Passport Key™ to the front of your pet’s collar. The Passport Key™ should hang under your pet’s neck and parallel to the flap so the Passport™ can properly read the key.

CloseHelpful Tip: Clamp down or weight the door to prevent it from moving.
The Pet Door can be installed with the door hanging based on your skill level. When applying cutting template there should be a minimum of 3” between the bottom and sides of the door and the outer edge of the cutting template to maintain the structural integrity of the door.
Close
Helpful Tip: Use both hands to hold drill steady and straight at a 90° angle.
Helpful Tip: Before cutting pet door opening, apply painter’s or masking tape on jigsaw blade guide and along outer edges of drawn template to help protect door surface from marks and scratches during cutting.
Helpful Tip: Use proper saw blade length and type according to door thickness and material (for example a wood blade for a wood door and a metal blade for a metal door). Cut slowly using both hands to hold the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle. This will prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between interior and exterior sides of the door.
Helpful Tip: If cut piece does not fall out, check underside of door to make sure exterior side has been cut.
Before putting away your jigsaw, place interior frame (frame with flap) inside the cut-out and check the fit. Then place the exterior frame into the underside of the cut-out to check the fit. If the frames do not easily fit inside the opening, you may need to recut opening before proceeding with installation.
Measure the thickest part (T) of cut-out. Note this measurement. Before installing pet door, you need to determine which screw length is needed for your installation. Depending on your door thickness, the screws may need to be trimmed with a hacksaw or screw cutter. If the screws are too long, the finishing plugs will not fit. Use the Screw Selection Guide to select which screw to use and if it needs to be trimmed.
Helpful Tip: Remove pencil marks and make sure surface is free of debris and shavings before installing frames.

Timer Mode: Allows the other access modes (In/Out, In-Only, Out-Only) to be programmed at specific times of day for pet(s) wearing a programmed Passport Key™. Four programmable time slots available with a minimum of two programmed times required.
To Change Master Access Mode:
To change the Master Access Mode, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Master Access. Use right arrow key to select. Mode will be displayed at top of Master Access Menu. Use right arrow key to scroll through and select desired mode option (In/Out, In-Only, Out-Only or Timer). Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu. If Timer Mode is selected, Access Times must be set with a minimum of two programmed times required.
Timer Mode (Master Access)
Timer mode under Master Access Mode allows you to easily set the Passport™ to one of the other access options (In/Out, In-Only, or Out-Only) at specific times of day for all pets wearing a programmed Passport Key™. This is useful if you want your pets to have a certain access during a specific time period (for example at night). There are four programmable time slots available with a minimum of two programmed times required. The two times are required to prevent your pet from accidentally being locked out or in.
Setting Timer Mode:
Repeat steps 5 & 6 to select pet access mode and scheduled time for the access. Repeat steps for as many times as you want to schedule. Remember a minimum of 2 programmed times are required but up to 4 time slots are available. After you select and enter desired access options and scheduled times, review the Access Time menu screen to make sure what you entered is correct. If 2 time slots have NOT been programmed, you will receive an error screen. The Master Access Mode will then default back to In/Out Mode.
Timer Mode Example: It might be helpful to think of Timer Mode in the form of a 24 hour or clock timeline. If you want your pet(s) to have full access during the daytime (for example, from 7 am in the morning until the late evening) but want your pet(s) to be indoors at night (for example, starting at 7 pm), you would want to set the access mode to In/Out at 7 am and then the access mode to In-Only at 7 pm.
To Remove Timer Mode Access Time:
Timer Mode can be disabled by setting a different Master Access Mode, while keeping the programmed Timer Mode Settings. This might be useful if you want to use Timer Mode during the week and a different Master Access Mode on the weekend.
Re-latch Time (Master Access)
The Re-latch Time is the amount of time it takes the pet door flap to re-lock after the Passport Key™ is no longer detected. Under Master Access the same Re-latch Time is easily set for all pets. The factory default Re-latch Time is set to 2 seconds but can be changed from 1 second to 60 seconds. A longer Re-latch Time may be needed if you have older or slower pets.
To change Re-latch Time, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Master Access. Use right arrow key to select. Use down arrow key to highlight Relatch Time then use right arrow key to scroll through to find desired Re-latch Time. Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu.
In-Tone & Out-Tone (Master Access)
Optional audible alerts can easily be set for all pets wearing a programmed Passport Key™ to let you know when they enter or exit with the In-Tone and Out-Tone settings. The default factory setting for both In-Tone and Out-Tone is off, but these can easily be changed to one of 10 audible tones. Note: Door Operational Mode must be set to Smart Mode for In-Tone and Out-Tone to work.
To change In-Tone Or Out-Tone, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Master Access. Use right arrow key to select. Use down arrow key to highlight In-Tone or Out-Tone (whichever one you want to change). Use right arrow key to scroll through the ten options to select desired audible tone (each tone will play when selected) or to turn tone off. Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu.
ADD PET
The Passport Pet Access Smart System™ allows up to 20 pets to be programmed or added with the purchase of additional Passport Key™ accessories (see “Replacement Parts and Accessories” page 29. Adding a pet’s Passport Key™ is time sensitive. You will have 30 seconds to add a pet to the system so make sure pet’s Passport Key™ is nearby before adding pet. Only one pet/Passport Key™ at a time can be programmed. Any other Passport Key™ accessories near the pet door will prevent proper programming. Also, do NOT hold the Passport Key™ in your hand against the LCD screen when you select Add Pet. This could prevent the Passport Key™ from programming properly.
To Add Pet:
Most pets will learn to use the Passport with a few short training sessions. However, some pets can take a little longer to become comfortable and more confident with the Passport™. The most important rule is to be patient with your pet. Let your pet work out for itself that it can go through the pet door. With a little patience and training, you and your pet will soon enjoy the freedom your new pet door provides.
Helpful Tip: Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to go through the pet door and become comfortable using it.
Important: During pet training while pet door is in Open Mode, make sure to GENTLY lower flap onto pet’s back. Also avoid possible injury by making sure your pet is entirely through the pet door opening, including paws and tail, before completely releasing flap.
Note: The Passport™ is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock the flap system when a Passport Key™ is detected. Do not allow your pet to run or charge through the Passport™. Due to variable radio-frequency interferences and the location where your Passport™ is installed, it could take several seconds for the unique code of the Passport Key™ to be read and the flap system to unlock.
If you don't hear 3 beeps after trying to program your Passport Key or the door gives you a message that says programming was unsuccessful, try the following troubleshooting steps.
Prior to installation, it is recommended to set-up, program and test the Passport Pet Access Smart System™ in the intended installation location or application to check for possible radio-frequency interferences. These interferences could negatively affect the Passport™ from working properly and receiving the signal of the Passport Key™.
Common household appliances and electronic products should be located at least two feet (61cm) away from the location where the Passport™ will be installed. Typical household products to consider are microwaves, televisions, wireless telephones, computers, garage door openers and hand-held electronic devices such as remote controls or game stations.
