2. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap. This cat
ap has been designed to recognise either the microchip already implanted in your cat or
the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (sold separately). The SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap
is suitable for multi-pet households to control the access of your pets both into and out of
the house. This allows you to restrict some pets to indoors-only, while others are allowed
outside and back in again. Any intruder animals attempting entry are kept outside. Entry/
exit permissions are easy to set up and change over time, depending on your pet’s individual
requirements.
Operation of the DualScan cat ap couldn’t be simpler. Once the batteries have been inserted,
the ap can be put into the standard learn mode, to learn the identities of cats that are allowed
access to the outdoors. The next cat to pass through the ap from either direction, or to put its
head into the tunnel with its nose up to the door, will have its microchip number or collar tag
code stored in the memory. Multiple cats are no problem. Up to 32 cats can be programmed into
the ap at the same time – more than enough for most people’s needs!
There is also a safety learn mode for indoor only cats, this is to ensure that they are able to
regain access through the cat ap, and won’t be locked out, for further information see section
5.2.
The DualScan cat ap has all the features you would expect from a high quality cat ap,
including:
• Compatibility with identication microchips or RFID collar tag
• Robust and elegant design
• Learn mode for programming multiple cats
• Safety learn mode
• Double antenna
• 4-way manual lock
• Low battery indicator
• Typical battery lifetime at least 6 months

We wish you years of trouble-free operation with your DualScan cat ap and hope you enjoy the
benets it brings to your home and cat.
