Videos:

Hardware instructions

Use the provided compartments to determine how much to feed the fish in each serving. The smallest amount is one slot, but you can take out the compartments to go up to 6 slots (6x the amount) in one serving.

Software instructions

Basic operations: Press "Mode" to switch to different modes. Hold "Set" to edit, then use + / - to change the values, and press "Set" to confirm.

"Now" (时间) mode

The current time. If it's not correct, set it to the current time.

"Vol" (份量) mode

Sets how many servings to feed every tiem. The size of each serving is controlled by the physical dividers that were put inside the feeding compartment. The more dividers you put, the smaller each serving size is.

The default should be 1.

Timing (定时) mode

The time during each day to feed. You can set up to 6 separate time slots each day to feed, but each time of the day has to be later than the previous one (otherwise an "Error" will show).

You can press + and - together to reset a time to be empty. This clears this time slot.

After you have set the time, you can see the non-empty times showing up as numbered circles. For example, if you have just set time slot 1, then you will see 1 circle. If you only want to feed once a day, make sure you only see 1 circle. Seeing 0 circles mean it is not configured to feed.

If you just want to reset all the set times, just hold down "Set" and "-". You will see "AST" on the screen, and then it will reset it to the factory setting.

Int. (间隔) mode

How often feeding is done. "0" (default) means every day. "1" means every 2 days / 48 hours, "2" means every 3 days, and so on.

Manual control

Pause automatic feeding

Hold "Mode" and "-" to stop automatic feeding. You should now see "Stop" on the screen. The feeder will now stop feeding based on the timer.

Press "-" to resume automatic feeding.

Manual feeding

Hold down "+" to feed once. This basically opens the tray and then close it again.

Open / Close the tray

Hold down "-" to manually open the tray. You should now see "OPEN" on the screen.

Press "-" to close it again. Make sure to do this or the tray will remain opened
