FAQs

How does the Passport Key™ work?

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.

I have a discontinued or older model pet door and want to replace it with a different pet door.

It 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.

How do I replace the flap?

Because 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
Passport Key programming is unsuccessful.
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.

Install Clock Battery and Power Adapter

"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.
Close
Understanding the Motion Sensors

For 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™.
Close
Check for Radio-Frequency Interference

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.
Close
Select Installation Location
Important:
- The Passport™ must be installed in a location where the LCD screen, battery compartment, and power adapter are not exposed to outside elements such as rain or snow. The power adapter is for indoor use only.
- It is recommended to install the Passport™ in a location where prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is not a factor.
- Passport™ operating temperature range is: -5° F to 131° F (-20.5° C to 55° C).
Planning to Install the Door
- Go to where you plan to install the Passport™.
- Place the Passport™ directly in front of door or desired installation location in the upright position.
- Make sure the Passport™ is vertical and not leaning so flap will operate properly.
- If using supplied power adapter, find closest power outlet.
- Plug in adapter to power the pet door. The power adapter cord is 6 feet long. If power adapter cord will not reach closest outlet, you will need a power cord extension, or to use the optional Passport™ Rechargeable Battery (both sold separately) or find an alternative location to install the Passport™.
- Keep the Passport™ in front of the door or application in the upright, vertical position and proceed to “Initial User Setup”, “Program Pet” and “Test Passport Key™” steps to continue to check for radio-frequency interferences and check the motion sensors.

Close
Program Your Pet
A 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:
1. After pressing the enter key to accept date, you will have 30 seconds to program your pet’s Passport Key™ to the Passport™. The LCD screen will show a 30 second countdown.
2. Hold the Passport Key™ 5” to 6” from center of main flap and parallel to flap. Patiently hold key in this position and wait for it to program during the 30 second countdown. DO NOT HOLD KEY AGAINST FLAP. It is very important Passport Key™ is programmed at least 5” to 6” from flap so the Passport™ will consistently read the key when worn by your pet.
3. When your pet’s Passport Key™ is successfully programmed, you will hear three beeps and the rename pet text screen will appear. Pet n (with n being the next available number) will be listed at the bottom of the screen. You can leave the pet name as default Pet n or you can rename the pet.
4. To rename pet, use arrow keys on 5-Star Navigation to scroll through text entry screen to Clr. Press enter/select key on 5-Star Navigation to clear name. Use arrow keys to select letters on text screen to type pet’s name. Select the symbol on text screen to complete the new name.
5. A screen will display asking if you want to program additional pets. If you are programming an additional pet, ensure your pet’s Passport Key™ is close by since you only have 30 seconds to program the key. Repeat for all pets you want programmed to use the Passport™. If multiple pets have been programmed, you may want to keep a list of which pet is Pet 1, Pet 2, etc. if you did not rename pets.
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.
Close
Test & Attach Passport Key™
Once 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:
1. Place the Passport™ directly in front of interior side of door or installation application in the upright position. It is VERY IMPORTANT the Passport™ is vertical and not leaning so the flap system will operate properly and not jam.
2. Stand to side of Passport™ out of view of interior motion sensor. Do not stand in front of Passport™ or this could cause the motion sensor to not operate properly.
3. While standing to side, wave your hand back and forth in front of motion sensor to activate. Next, hold your pet’s programmed Passport Key™ 10” to 12” away from flap and parallel to flap. Slowly move toward flap until the Passport™ reads Passport Key™ and flap system unlocks. Push through flap with your hand to check Passport™ flap unlocked on interior side.
4. After testing from interior side, go to exterior side of your installation location. Turn Passport™ around where exterior frame is facing you.
5. Again, stand to side of Passport™. Repeat waving your hand back and forth in front of motion sensor to activate and test if the Passport™ is reading the Passport Key™. Make sure to push through flap with your hand to check flap unlocked on exterior side.
6. If you have multiple pets, repeat this test for each programmed Passport 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.

Can I install the Passport door in a wall?

Yes, 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.
Close
Installation Step 1: Determine Pet Door Location
If installing Passport in a door not made of glass:
1. Disconnect power adapter from Passport™ (or remove optional rechargeable battery if using).
2. Disconnect the motion sensor wire from exterior frame prior to installation.
3. Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the interior side of door.
4. Draw a level line at your pet’s shoulder height.
5. Determine location for the pet door.
6. Draw a vertical center line through the shoulder height line using a level.
Helpful Tip: Mark shoulder height and vertical center line lightly with a pencil or on a piece of tape so marks can easily be erased or removed.

Note: 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."
Close
Installation Step 2: Preparing Door
1. Remove door by removing door hinge pins.
2. Place on a raised level surface such as saw horses.
3. Place interior side of door facing up.
Helpful 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
Installation Step 3: Cut Pet Door Opening
1. Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where you will be drilling the holes or cutting the opening.
2. Drill ½” holes in inside corners and center of top angle of drawn template.
3. Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along the drawn template lines.
4. After cutting out the opening, you may need to recut to square the opening. This is necessary for the pet door frame to fit correctly.
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.
Close
Installation Step 4: Install Pet Door
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.
1. Apply duct tape along top interior and exterior edge of cut-out. Leave approximately 2” uncovered on either side of tape and make sure no excess tape will show outside the frame. This is to cover raw edge of cut-out to keep it from pinching or cutting motion sensor wire.
2. Place exterior frame into cut-out from the underside of the door.
3. Align exterior frame flush with bottom of cut-out. Use sawhorse or other flat surface to keep exterior frame in place while installing interior frame.
4. Plug motion sensor wire from interior frame into connector on the exterior frame.
5. Without pinching the wire, guide excess wire into space between top edge of door cut-out and tunnel on exterior frame. Align interior frame into cut-out. View both sides of door to ensure the exterior and interior telescoping tunnels are aligned. You should be able to see clearly through all screw holes when your door is aligned properly.
Close
Installation Step 5: Insert Screws and Plugs
1. Insert mounting screws through interior frame screw holes. Be sure to insert screws into screw holes inside battery compartment. Check to make sure pet door fit is correct and frame is aligned flush. Size Small + has 4 screw holes and Medium has 6 screw holes.
2. Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening can strip the screws or warp the pet door frame.
3. Insert finishing plugs into screw holes of interior and exterior frames. Align flat edge of plugs with outer edges of frame. Plugs will only fit into frame in one direction.
4. Optional: Caulk around exterior frame and in between tunnels, where tunnels meet, for improved weather resistance.
5. Plug power adapter into connector on underside of interior frame.
6. Route power adapter wire through wire guides in desired direction towards nearest power outlet. Rehang door.
CAUTION:
- To avoid tripping, always position the power cord out of the path of foot traffic.
- Do not allow your pet to chew on the power cord.
- Only use designated power adapter with the product. Do not use power adapter in temperatures below 32° F (0° C) or above 104° F (40° C). Power adapter for inside use only.

PET ACCESS (INDIVIDUAL PET)

Under each individual pet, the Pet Access menu allows the Access Mode, Re-latch Time, In-Tone and Out-Tone to be changed for that specific pet. To open the Pet Access menu, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or name of pet) > Pet Access. Press right arrow key to select. Under the Pet Access menu are the following options: Mode: Access mode set for the individual pet which overrides the Master Access Mode. There are five modes: Master (which is the default factory setting), In/Out, In-Only, Out-Only and Timer.

Re-latch Time: Default re-latch time is 2 seconds but can be changed from 1 second to 60 seconds for each pet and is useful if you have an older or slower pet. If Master Mode is selected as the individual pet access mode, then the individual re-latch time cannot be adjusted.

In-Tone: Default is off but 10 tone options available. If Master mode is selected as the individual pet access mode, then the individual in-tone cannot be adjusted.

Out-Tone: Default is off but 10 tone options available. If Master mode is selected as the individual pet access mode, then the individual out-tone cannot be adjusted.

PET ACCESS MODES (INDIVIDUAL PETS)

The Access Mode can be programmed for each individual pet wearing a programmed Passport Key™. This allows you to customize access based on each of your pet’s needs. The Access Mode options available are:

Master: Under each individual pet, when Master mode is selected, the pet will be programmed to all settings under Master Access including Access Mode, Re-latch Time, In-Tone and Out-Tone. Master is factory default individual Pet Access Mode.

In/Out: Allows a pet with a programmed Passport Key™ to enter and exit the Passport® Door as they please.

In Only: Allows a pet with a programmed Passport Key™ to enter but not exit the Passport® Door.

Out-Only: Allows a pet with a programmed Passport Key™ to exit but not enter the Passport® Door.

Timer: Allows the other pet access modes (In/Out, In-Only, Out-Only) to be programmed at specific times of day by pet if wearing a programmed Passport Key™. Four programmable time slots available with a minimum of two programmed times required.

To change Pet Access Mode, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or name of Pet) > Pet Access. Use right arrow to select. Use right arrow key to scroll through Pet Access Modes to select desired mode: Master, In/Out, In-Only,Out-Only or Timer. Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu.

If Master Mode is selected, all other setting options under the Pet’s menu will not show on the screen because they cannot be changed. These settings for the pet will default to the ones under Master Access. If Timer Mode is selected, Access Times must be set with a minimum of two programmed times required.

Timer Mode (Individual Pet)

Timer mode under each pet allows you to set the Passport® Door to one of the other access options (In/Out, In-Only, or Out-Only) for that specific pet

Setting Timer Mode:
From Main Menu select Setup > Per Settings > Pet n (or pet’s name) > Mode.
Press right arrow key to scroll to Timer option to select.
Once Timer Mode has been selected, Access Time will appear at the bottom of the Pet n Menu list. Use down arrow key to highlight Access Time then right arrow key to select.
The Access Time screen will list four available time slots. Press right arrow key to select first time slot.
The first line listed on Access Time menu is to select the pet access mode. Use right arrow key to scroll through and select desired pet access mode: In/Out, In-Only or Out-Only.
Use down arrow key to highlight Time. Press right arrow key to enter specific time for your pet to have type of access you just selected in Step 5. After you use arrow keys to enter desired time, press enter key to accept. Press left arrow/back key to return to Access Time menu screen.

Repeat Steps 5 & 6 to select pet access mode and schedule 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 Pet 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 to have full access during the daytime (for example, from 7 am in the morning until the late evening) but want your pet indoors at night (for example, starting at 7 pm), you would want to set that specific pet’s access mode to In/Out at 7 am and to In-Only access mode at 7 pm.

To Remove Timer Mode Access Time:
From Main Menu select > Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n > Pet Access > Mode.
Press right arrow key to scroll to Timer option to select.

Use down arrow key to highlight Remove and right arrow key to select. The time slot on the Access Time Menu should now be removed. Please remember you must have a minimum of two programmed Access Times entered for Timer Mode to work.

Timer Mode can be disabled by setting a different Pet Access Mode, while keeping the programmed Timer Mode settings. This might be useful if you want to use Timer Mode during the week for a specific pet and a different Pet Access Mode on the weekend.

Re-latch Time (Individual Pet)

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. The factory default Re-latch Time is set to 2 seconds but can be changed from 1 second to 60 seconds for each pet. This is especially useful if you have an older or slower pet who may need more time than other pets to go through the flap before it re-locks. The Re-latch Time can only be changed by pet if the individual pet access mode is NOT set to Master.

To change Re-latch Time, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or pet name). Use right arrow key to select. Press 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 (Individual Pet)

Optional audible alerts can also be set by pet to let you know when a pet enters or exits 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. This is helpful if you want to know when a specific pet comes in or goes out using the Passport® Door. In-Tone and Out-Tone can only be changed by pet if the individual pet access mode is NOT set to Master. 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 > Pet n (or pet name). 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.

Rename Pet

The default Pet n (where n is the next available number) name assigned by the Passport® Door can be changed to the actual pet’s name or the current name can be changed to a different name at any time.

To Rename Pet:
From Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or pet name) > Rename Pet. Press right arrow key to select.
The rename pet text screen will appear. Use arrow keys on 5-Star Navigation to scroll through the text entry screen to Clr.
Press enter key on 5-Star Navigation to clear name.
Use arrow keys to select letters on text screen to type pet’s name. Select the symbol on text screen to complete the new name.

Relearn Pet

If for some reason a pet has to be re-programmed (for example, if replacing a pet’s Passport Key™), Relearn Pet allows the Passport® Door to relearn the pet while keeping the pet’s programmed settings. Before proceeding, make sure your pet’s Passport Key™ is nearby since relearning pet is time sensitive with 30 seconds for the pet to be relearned. Any other Passport Key™ accessories near the pet door will prevent proper programming. Also do NOT hold the Passport Key™ in your hand against LCD screen when you select Relearn Pet. This could prevent the Passport Key™ from programming properly.

To Relearn Pet:
From Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n (or pet name) > Relearn Pet.
Hold your pet’s Passport Key™ 5” to 6” away from center of main flap and parallel to flap. Patiently hold key in this position and wait for it to program during 30 second countdown. DO NOT HOLD KEY AGAINST FLAP. It is very important Passport Key™ is programmed at least 5” to 6” from flap so the Passport® Door will consistently read the key when worn by your pet.
When pet is successfully relearned, you will hear 3 beeps and LCD screen will return to Pet n menu.
Press left arrow/back key to return to Main Menu.

Remove Pet
Removing Pet allows a pet to be deleted from the Passport® Door with all programmed settings removed. Removing a pet cannot be undone. Please make sure you want to remove a pet before completing these steps. To Remove Pet, from Main Menu select Setup > Pet Settings > Pet n > Remove Pet. A confirmation screen will appear. Use up arrow key to highlight Yes and press right arrow key to remove pet.

Training

Training Your 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.
1. To train your pet, set the Passport™ to Open Mode.
2. Lift or tape main flap and interior U-flap open using string to help your pet become familiar with the pet door opening. MAKE SURE TAPED FLAP IS SECURE AND WILL NOT FALL DURING TRAINING.
3. Try to encourage your pet to come through the pet door. DO NOT FORCE your pet through the door or they may become frightened.
4. If your pet is timid, it might be helpful to lock the exterior U-flap so it does not move and scare your pet. To lock exterior U-flap, make sure interior U-flap and main flap are securely taped open while in Open Mode. Next, change Door Operational Mode to Locked Mode. This will lock the exterior U-flap in place. Please be aware you may receive the “Flap Held Open” message on the LCD screen. This message will go away once you lower the flaps after your pet is trained.
5. Give your pet motivation to use the Passport™, such as to reach food. First, feed your pet close to pet door on inside. Once your pet is comfortable approaching the door, move food to outside to try to get your pet to go through the pet door.
6. After your pet has used the pet door a few times, lower flaps and change door back to Open Mode.
7. Hold flaps open and try to get your pet to go through door while gently lowering flaps so they can touch your pet’s back. This will help your pet become familiar with the flaps.
8. Encourage your pet to push through the flaps on their own.
9. Once your pet is comfortable entering and exiting through the closed flaps in Open Mode, change the Passport™ Door Operational Mode to Smart Mode to operate with your pet’s Passport Key™.
10. Walk your pet to the Passport™ until the Passport Key™ is detected and the flap system unlocks. Encourage your pet to push through the flaps to the other side.
11. Repeat training your pet to walk to the Passport™ and push through to the other side until they do it on their own. It is recommended NOT to use any other pet access modes (In-Only, Out-Only or Timer) until your pet is completely comfortable using the Passport™ in In/Out Mode.

Check for Radio-Frequency Interference

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.

6. Make sure motion sensor wire is connected from the interior frame to the exterior frame.
7. Make sure nothing is obstructing motion sensors on interior and exterior frames.
8. Check to see how pet is approaching Passport. If approaching from side, the motion sensors cannot detect pet so Passport can read PassportKey. Retrain pet to approach from the front.
9. Check that there are no radio-frequency transmitting devices or electronic devices that may be interfering with the operation of the Passport.
10. If problem continues, relearn pet’s Passport Key. Make sure the Passport Key is 5-6 inches away from the Passport Flap when relearning.
11. If problem continues after relearning pet’s Passport Key, contact Customer Care Center
