If the batteries run out & I don't realise for a while will I need to reprogramme my cats microchip when new batteries are inserted?

No, you do not need to reprogram the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap after replacing the batteries. The memory retains stored microchip codes even when the batteries are removed.

My SureFlap has stopped working. It is not reading my cats microchip. I have changed the batteries & done a reset as per instruction manual. The light flashes when it has been reset but goes out when cat enters but still doesn't work. It has been installed for aprox 7yrs. Can you help please?

The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap may not be reading your cat's microchip because the memory was accidentally reset when replacing the batteries. If the small button next to the battery compartment was pressed during battery replacement, the stored microchip data would be erased. In this case, you need to reprogram the cat flap to recognize your cat's microchip again.

I then reset the flap and the red light flashed, I then presented my cat again , the light stopped flashing but still did not operate. Is there anything else I can try?

The latch will stay open and SureFlap can now be used as a standard cat flap. This mode may be useful if you have purchased SureFlap before your cat has been microchipped or while your cat is getting used the presence of their new cat flap (see trouble shooting guide).
