Pet Master contains essential information you need to fully enjoy the rewards of sharing life with a cat or dog. Pet Master contains two complete books, The Everything Dog Book and The Everything Cat Book from the very popular Everything! Series, with advice and tips ranging from selecting a pet to training, health, and nutrition concerns to simply how to have more fun with your pet. And you find what you’re looking for quickly, with a press of a button! Additionally, Pet Master is designed to make your role as responsible pet owner much easier. It keeps track of your important phone numbers, like your veterinarians’, groomers’, or favorite pet stores’. Pet Master even reminds you, for example, about veterinary or grooming appointments you’ve made, or when your pet’s next dose of medication is due. Pet Master even has an automatic shopping list of pet items to make shopping easier. And when you’re travelling with Cuddles, you’ll appreciate Pet Master’s list of hotels and motels across the US and Canada where pets are welcome. You’ll also love the extensive list of US and Canadian emergency veterinary facilities, should a need arise. And thanks to its compact design, Pet Master slips conveniently into your pocket, making it easy to take along when going shopping, to the vet’s, or on a trip. Excalibur's Pet Master is unique, and you'll enjoy showing it to your friends. But we know that, like proud parents, the first thing you'll be showing off is that favorite photo of you and your pet that you’re about to slip into Pet Master’s lid! The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword, Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished. Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur ’s court wizard, sometimes our patented technology may make it seem as if we could. Pet Master is another unmatched innovation of Excalibur Electronics. We make you think. 3 Activating or Installing the Battery Pet Master is equipped with an CR2032 battery. Simply pull the plastic tab at the battery compartment to activate. (Be sure to review “Battery Information” on page 20.) Then press the RESET button. Note: Pet Master warns you when the battery is low. When your battery needs to be replaced, we recommend that you press SAVE two seconds to turn Pet Master off, and then insert a new battery within one minute so that your saved data will be retained in Pet Master’s memory. (See page 19.) To install a new battery, carefully turn Pet Master over so that the top side is face-down on a soft surface, such as a towel or magazine. You’ll find the battery compartment on the unit’s back. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Lift off the battery compartment lid and install one CR2032 battery. Place the battery compartment lid’s tabs in their slots and snap the compartment door back on. Replace the screw and gently tighten it. After you install batteries, press the RESET button.
