HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT

A
Carefully unpack your Feed and Go device from its packaging.
INITIAL SETUP
the power plug into a wall socket. The Network LED (J) and Cloud LED (K) will flash
a few times and then turn off. When the power is connected, you will see the power LED glowing.
3. a)
If you have Wi-Fi and your Internet router has a WPS function (look for the letters
WPS anywhere on your router) then go ahead to page 8 and follow the instructions
under A. Set up using WPS.
7
b)
If you have Wi-Fi but your router is not compatible with WPS then follow the Access
Point set up guide on page 10.
c)
If you will be using an Ethernet cable to connect to the Internet, plug one end of the
Ethernet cable into Ethernet Jack (C) and the other end into an Ethernet port on your
router. Now go ahead and follow the Final Setup instructions on page 12.
NOTE:
ONLY PLUG IN AN ETHERNET CABLE TO THE FEEDER IF YOU WANT TO
CONNECT WITH THIS OPTION. OTHERWISE, LEAVE THE ETHERNET JACK
UNPLUGGED WHEN USING Wi-Fi.
IF FEED AND GO WILL BE CONNECTED TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK, ENSURE
THAT IT IS IN RANGE OF YOUR INTERNET ROUTER AT ALL TIMES.
A. Quick Setup using WPS:
If you're unfamiliar with the term WPS, don't worry. What you need to know is that if your
Internet router has WPS capability then this is the option you choose. To find out if your router has WPS capability, look for the letters WPS anywhere on your router. It may be a WPS logo or just the letters. Over 90% of current routers have WPS capability and if yours does then this will be really easy.
DID YOU KNOW?
WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. WPS is a standard method to allow you to connect electronic devices with your wireless router. So long as both your router and the device you want to connect to it support WPS then setting up via this method is simple and very quick.

1.
Press and hold the WPS button on your internet router for a few seconds. It may start
flashing to let you know it's searching for new devices.
2.
Press and hold the WPS button (E) on your feeder. The Network LED (J) and Cloud
LED (K) will flash quickly and then the Network LED (J) will flash slowly for a few seconds
before it starts flashing quicker.
3.
When the Network LED (J) starts flashing quicker then let go of the WPS button.
4.
Within 1-2 minutes the Network LED (J) and the Cloud LED (K) will be solid blue.
5.
Your Feed and Go device should now be connected to your wireless internet router.
You can go ahead now to the Final Setup section on page 12.
If this method didn't work for you then try the following:
1.
Remove the power cable from the back of your feeder for two minutes before reconnecting.
2.
Insert a pin into the Reset hole (D) and hold it down for a few seconds until the Feed LED
(M) and the Schedule LED (N) flash quickly. This will reset your feeder to factory settings.
Now the Network LED (J) should be flashing slowly.
3.
Now follow steps 2, 3 and 4 above.
If there is still a problem setting up this way then please go ahead to page 10 and follow the instructions for Wi-Fi setup via Access Point.

B. Wi-Fi set up via Access Point
This sounds more complicated, but don't worry, it's been tested on Marissa, our CEO, and she managed to set up this way.

Remove the power cable from the back of your feeder for two minutes before
reconnecting.
2.
Insert a pin into the Reset hole (D) and hold it down for a few seconds until the Feed
LED (M) and the Schedule LED (N) (on top of the feeder) flash quickly.
3.
The Network LED
(J) should be blinking slowly. This indicates you are ready to set up.
10
4.
Using your computer/laptop/tablet/smartphone, search in your available Wi-Fi points for
a name called 'Feed and Go (followed by a number)'. The number is the last 3 digits of
your Feed and Go device so for example 'Feed and Go-230'.
5.
Connect to this Wi-Fi point. If you are using Microsoft Windows 7 then a message
may appear prompting you to select the network type. If so, then select ‘Home network’.
6.
Now you’re connected to Feed and Go. On your computer/laptop/tablet/smartphone,
open a web browser (IE, Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox) and type in: http://192.168.4.1
NOTES:
CERTAIN DEVICES MAY AUTOMATICALLY SHOW YOU A LIST OF YOUR
AVAILABLE WI-FI CONNECTIONS AT THIS POINT. IF SO, JUST SELECT YOUR
USUAL WI-FI ACCESS POINT, FOR EXAMPLE 'MARISSA HOME.'
7.
Click on your preferred access point, for example 'Marissa Home'. If for some reason
your usual access point is not available then click the button for ‘Manual Wi-Fi Setup'
on the web page and enter the details of the Wi-Fi access point you wish to use.
8.
You should now see a message asking you to enter your passphrase for your chosen
Wi-Fi network. This is your usual passphrase. Go ahead and enter it and then click ok.
9.
You should now see a message saying 'Connection in progress. Your device is now
connecting to (for example) Marissa home. This process will take up to a minute. You
may close this window.' You should close the window by either pressing close or cancel.
10.
The device will reboot itself and after 1-2 minutes the Network LED
(J) and the
Cloud LED (K) will be solid blue.
11.
You should now be connected to your usual Wi-Fi network, but if not, simply connect to
your Wi-Fi network as you usually would do. Now go ahead to the Final Setup section
on page 12 to complete the set up.

DID YOU KNOW?
Access Point basically turns your Feed and Go device into a 'middleman' for you to connect it to your wireless network router.
STEP 2
FINAL SET UP
UNLOCKING AND LOCKING YOUR FEED AND GO
We've designed Feed and Go so that smart pets can't cunningly press the buttons on top of the feeder to help themselves to more food, turn their feeding schedule off or even turn off the feeding message that you've lovingly recorded. We've created an unlock/lock mechanism to fool even the smartest of pets. Here's how you unlock/lock your Feed and Go device:
1.
If you haven't already, plug the unit into a power outlet near the location where you
wish to feed your pet. And don't worry, as long as the feeder is within your Wi-Fi range,
you will not need to repeat any of the previous steps. If your feeder is connected to your
router via Ethernet cable rather than by Wi-Fi, then it must stay connected at all times.
2.
When the feeder powers up, it is initially unlocked.
3.
After the Feed (F), Schedule (G) and Audio (H) buttons have been inactive for 20
seconds, the feeder becomes locked.
4.
While locked, the feeder will ignore all button presses from the 3 top buttons. The
Volume Wheel (B), Reset button (D) and WPS button (E) at the back of the feeder will
still work though so you can set up your feeder.
5.
To unlock the feeder, the Feed (F) and Audio (H) buttons on top of the feeder must be
pressed and held for 2 seconds.
6.
The Blue LED (N) on the Schedule button (G), the middle button on top, will blink 3
times to let you know that it's unlocked. You can then use the buttons for their their
normal functions.
7.
The feeder will automatically re-lock once there has been 20 seconds of non-activity
of the Feed (F), Schedule (G) and Audio (H) buttons.
12
RECORDING A PERSONAL GREETING
Your Feed and Go lets you record a personal greeting that will be played every time your pet gets fed. The same greeting will be played if you just want to call your pet over without feeding him.
HOW TO RECORD A PERSONAL GREETING
1.
Make sure your Feed and Go device is plugged in.
2.
Make sure that your feeder is unlocked by following the instructions on page 12.
3.
Press and hold the Audio button (H).
4.
Speak clearly into the Microphone (S). Your personal greeting can be up to 6 seconds
in length.
5.
Release the Audio button (H) once you are done.
6.
You can test your message by pressing the Audio button (H).
7.
If you want to change your message at any time then just repeat steps 1-6 above.
Congratulations, you're now ready to use Feed and Go!
