 control panel functions

The CLOCK function programs the real-time clock on the unit. Once the CLOCK 

has been set, the unit will retain the time if the unit is plugged in or powered 

by battery backup. The unit will retain CLOCK time even if it is turned off.

Power Failure: In the event of a complete loss of power (Wall Outlet & 

Backup Battery), the unit will lose all user defined program settings. This 

will be indicated by the CLOCK time flashing. Resetting CLOCK, MEAL TIME and 

MEAL SIZE programming will be necessary.

preset meals

The PRESET MEALS function is the quickest way of selecting a customized 

daily meal schedule. The NANO has (6) Preset Meal options to choose from. 

Once selected, it will override the DEFAULT MEAL SETTINGS. 

Note: If a Preset Meal option is selected, it will become your meal schedule.

It can then be further customized as desired in MEAL TIME AND MEAL SIZE 

programming. (page 3)

IMPORTANT: Pressing “PRESET MEALS” button in the middle of adjusting 

setting will exit PRESET MEALS programming, WITHOUT saving any changes. 

If no keys are pressed in 30 seconds, PRESET MEALS programming will end 

WITHOUT saving any changes.

The MEAL TIME function allows the user to program the exact time of day 

meals are dispensed. The NANO can program up to (6) Meal Times per day. 

If a Preset Meal option was previously selected, it will start as your MEAL 

TIME programming. It can be further customized as desired. Each day of the 

week will be programmed with the same MEAL TIME schedule. 

It is NOT possible to program different Meal Times based on the day of the 

week. For example, to alter Meal Times on the weekends.

Note: If a MEAL TIME is accidentally created, it can be erased by selecting 

the flashing MEAL TIME #, and holding ENTER for 2 seconds. Once a meal is 

erased - DASHES will replace the MEAL TIME. 

The MEAL SIZE function allows the user to adjust how much food is dispensed 

at programmed meal times.

Note: Each MEAL TIME will dispense the same MEAL SIZE. 

Tip: MEAL SIZE is dispensed in either Ounces or Grams. To convert to Cups refer 

to CALCULATING MEAL SIZE FROM OUNCES OR GRAMS TO CUPS. (page 5)

slow

The SLOW feed function reduces the speed at which food is dispensed, for

pets that have issues with eating too fast. 

Note: The full MEAL SIZE programmed will still be dispensed, only at

a slower speed.

1) Press “SLOW” to toggle the SLOW feed function ON/OFF.

Note: SLOW feed is ON if the Turtle icon             is illuminated on the LCD display.
