Your cat’s litter box behavior can tell you a lot about their health. The Petivity™ Smart Litter Box Monitor tracks behavior and weight and alerts you when changes might require your attention or a visit to the veterinarian. This guide will provide you with information and tips for set-up, as well as important safety and warranty info.

(1) Petivity™ Smart Litter Box Monitor

(6) AA Batteries

(1) Power Cord

Note: Choose either the provided power cord or 6 AA batteries to power the monitor. Do not use both power sources simultaneously. If your cat is a cord-chewer, we recommend using batteries.

• 1 x Petivity™ Smart Litter Box Monitor
• 6 x AA Batteries 
• 1 x Power Cord  

Note: Choose either the provided power cord or 6 AA batteries to power the monitor. Do not use both power sources simultaneously. If your cat is a cord-chewer, we recommend using batteries. 

In addition to what’s included, you’ll need: 

• An iPhone or Android smartphone.
• A WiFi connection. If your WiFi is password protected, have your password handy. 

Warning: DO NOT STAND ON MONITOR. The smart monitor is specially calibrated for cats. Standing on your monitor or placing anything heavier than 60 pounds on top of it may damage it. 

1. Install the App 
Before powering on your monitor, download the Petivity mobile app, which will help guide you through the rest of the set-up process. 

2. Prepare for Set-Up 
Ensure that your phone is connected to your home WiFi network and Bluetooth is enabled. Have your home WiFi password handy. 

3. Choose a Power Source 
You have two options for powering your monitor. Use either the power cord or batteries provided, whichever is most convenient for the location of your monitor. Do not use both power sources simultaneously. (If your cat is a cord-chewer, we recommend using batteries.) 

If using power cord:
Find the USB port on the bottom of your monitor. Plug the power cord in and run the cord through one of the provided channels. 

If using batteries:
Find the battery cover on the bottom of your monitor. Remove cover and insert batteries, then replace cover. Note that using rechargeable batteries may cause the battery life indicator within the app to not display accurately. If you choose to use rechargeable batteries, use 1.2V or 1.5V AA.

4. Set Up Your Monitor and Cat Profile in the App 
Open the Petivity app and follow the set-up instructions to complete your monitor set-up and create a profile for your cat or cats. 

After your monitor connects to WiFi for the first time, it will automatically check for a software update. If there is an update available, your monitor will automatically download the update. This may take 2–3 minutes; please keep the monitor powered on during the update and do not press the status button. 

Once your monitor is successfully set up, place your litter box on top—the monitor will begin collecting data as soon as your cat uses the litter box.

Where to Place Your Monitor 

• The monitor works best in an indoor, climate-controlled environment. Do not use the monitor outdoors or in areas with high humidity, high heat, or direct sunlight. Where possible, avoid placing the unit on a surface that receives continuous sunlight. 
• When placing the monitor in your home, ensure it is at least 1 inch away from all walls or other obstacles. Failure to provide adequate clearance may cause interference with data or readings. 
• Avoid using litter boxes that are larger than 21 by 16 inches or that are not appropriately shaped to fit entirely on the monitor. Using these kinds of boxes may cause the box to slip off the monitor when the cat is on or near the edge of the box. 
• Avoid using litterboxes that are self-cleaning. 
• The monitor is designed to function best on a smooth, level, hard surface. If using a mat or placing the monitor on carpeting, extend the adjustable feet to the highest level to ensure the monitor is not touching the carpet, mat or other flooring surface. Uneven monitors may cause a disruption in data. 
• Do not remove the monitor feet (or disassemble any other parts of the monitor). Doing so increases the risk of losing or damaging parts and may create choking hazards for small children and pets.
  

Monitor Maintenance 

Once your monitor is set up, there’s some simple maintenance that can help it continue to accurately gather data and learn about your cat. Check for the following about every other week, or whenever you’re changing the litter: 

• If using the power cord, make sure there are no signs that it’s being chewed by your cat or other pets. If you find any evidence of chewing, switch to battery power. 
• Be sure your monitor and litter box have a 1-inch clearance on all sides and are not touching walls, baseboards, furniture or other objects.
• To clean your smart monitor, vacuum excess litter around the base and between the litter box and monitor. Wipe down with a moist cloth. If using any cleaning products, please spray the cloth rather than the monitor.
• Do not submerge the monitor in water or other liquids. 
• Do not hose down or spray liquid at the monitor as this may cause liquid to enter the monitor and damage the electronics.
• The materials in these monitors have not been thoroughly evaluated for chemical resistance across the full range of cleaning products and disinfection agents. Cosmetic damage may occur to the surfaces over time if monitor is repeatedly wiped down with cleaning or disinfecting products. 

If you have questions or need a hand with set-up, we’re here. Call 866-979-2477 or visit Petivity Support. 

• If you’re having trouble connecting to WiFi, ensure you are using the 2.4 GHz band on your router. (This is an option on most home networks.) 
• For best results and reliable data performance, make sure the monitor’s feet are flush with the floor and are adjusted to the highest level. Before placing the litter box on top of the monitor, gently push on one corner of the monitor to make sure it does not wobble and that the monitor is level. 
• Make sure your monitor and litter box have 1 inch of clearance on all sides and are not touching walls, furniture or other objects. 
• If you use a litter mat, make sure the mat is not in contact with the bottom of your monitor and that all four feet are on the mat. 

If at any time you encounter any malfunction, overheating or other issue with a monitor, please immediately cease using the monitor, turn it off (if safely able to do so) and contact our Consumer Support team by calling 866-979-2477 or visiting Petivity.com/Support.

• Instead of 6 AA batteries, the monitor can be powered with the enclosed power cord. Please note that any use of a power cord carries risks of cats or other animals chewing cables or equipment, electrical shock, and tripping hazards. If you’re using the power cord to power the monitor, check for any evidence that your cat or other pets have been chewing on the cord. If you see any evidence of chewing, switch to battery power.

• Do not attempt to weigh your cat by placing it directly on the monitor. Weight will be accurately calculated when monitor is correctly set up under the litter box.
• Not intended for use with kittens.
• Use a litter box that is no larger than 21 by 16 inches and that is appropriately shaped to fit entirely on the monitor. Using boxes that do not meet these criteria may negatively impact weight readings and could cause the box to slip off the monitor when the cat is on or near the edge of the box.
• Do not use with litter boxes that are self-cleaning.

• If the monitor is dropped or broken, please use caution as there could be potential sharp edges that could cause harm to animals or users. If small pieces break off, they can create a choking hazard or cause physical damage to animals or children. Dropping a monitor may cause a disruption in data.
