ongratulations on your purchase of Excalibur Electronics’ Pet

Master! 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

and tips ranging from selecting a pet to training, health, and nutrition con-

cerns 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 shop-

ping 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 show-

ing off is that favorite photo of you and your pet that you’re about to slip

into Pet Master’s lid!

Excalibur Electronics’ Pet Master gives

you the information

you need to make the best choices

for you and your pet!

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.

Pet Master’s buttons are easy to

use.

ON/ENTER Use this button to turn

Pet Master on or to select an item

on a menu. When reading detailed

information, press this button for

two seconds to return to

AUTO-

PAGE DOWN mode to let you re-

select the speed of auto-page down.

Note: Pet Master shuts off automat-

ically after five minutes of non-use.

When you turn Pet Master back on,

it will return to the point where you

last left off. If you wish to return to

the starting screen, simply hold

down the

BACK button for more

than a second.

DOWN ARROW Use this button to

scroll down a menu, list or index

one line at a time. Press

DOWN after

pressing the

ABC key to move down

to the next alphabetical first letter

in an index. And use the

DOWN

ARROW

to view the next four lines

of detailed text if auto-page mode is

turned off. Use

Activating or Installing the Battery

Pet Master is equipped with an

CR2032 battery. Simply pull the

plastic tab at the battery compart-

ment 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 bat-

tery needs to be replaced, we rec-

ommend 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 bat-

tery 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.

—FRAMING YOUR PET’S PHOTO

IN PET MASTER

’S LID—

What better place to keep your pet’s picture in view than on the lid of a

product designed to enhance that pet’s life!

Simply use your fingernail to pull at the top center of the protective

plastic and pull it out. Trim your photo to fit the space and then insert

the picture. Next replace the piece of clear plastic by fitting the small

tabs at the bottom into the slots at the bottom of the picture frame. Then

carefully push the tabs at the top of the plastic into the slots at the top of

the frame, pushing the plastic gently with your fingers.

—FINDING PET-

FRIENDLY HOTELS AND

MOTELS WHEN YOU

NEED ONE

!—

Many pet owners have awakened to

the fact that the more they involve a

pet in their lives, the greater the

rewards. Today it's not at all unusu-

al for a pet to be included in the

family's vacation plan, rather than

be left behind wearing a long face

in some kennel. With this in mind,

Pet Master provides you with:

1. Names, addresses and phone

numbers of pet motels across the

US and Canada, and

2. Names, addresses and phone

numbers of hotels in major metro-

politan centers where you and your

pet will be welcomed.

To find a pet-friendly hotel or motel

when you need one, scroll the main

menu with the

UP or DOWN but-

tons, then press

ON/ENTER to select

“

HOTELS & MOTELS.” Next

choose between hotels or motels,

and Canada or the United States.

Hotels are listed by city, motels by

province or state and then alphabet-

ically by town. Hotels are listed as

Deluxe, First Class, Moderate, and

Economy to indicate price cate-

gories.

—FINDING

EMERGENCY

VETERINARY HELP

WHEN YOU

’RE AWAY

FROM HOME

—

Again with pet travel in mind, Pet

Master also gives you addresses

and phone numbers for emergency

veterinary contacts across the

United States and Canada, in the

hope of assisting you should you

and your pet suddenly find your-

selves in need of medical help. The

old your pet is, of particular impor-

tance to your veterinarian. Please

be aware that when changing the

battery, you need to insert a fresh

battery within one minute so that

your data will not be lost

—SAVING ITEMS TO

PET MASTER

’S SHOP-

PING LIST—

Another of Pet Master’s terrific fea-

tures is its automatic shopping list.

With entire stores now dedicated to

pet care items, gone are the days

when you just had to remember to

pick up a bag of food. Pet Master's

shopping list helps you keep track

of what you need to buy next time

you're at the store, saving items of

your choice in a special list for easy

reference. Collars, tags, flea sprays,

upholstery cleaner, special senior

food, toothpaste! The list is long.

At the starting menu, scroll to

“SHOPPING LIST,” and press ON/

ENTER. Next press UP or DOWN,

followed by

ON/ENTER to choose

between the shopping list for dogs

and the shopping list for cats.

Scroll through a shopping list by

using the

UP and DOWN buttons.

When you come to an item you’d

like to save to your list, simply

press

SAVE. The screen will display

“SAVED!” for two seconds.

The number of items you’ve saved

from both the cat shopping list and

the dog shopping list will appear in

brackets next to

“SAVED” when you

select

“SHOPPING LIST” from the

starting menu. To view the items

saved to your list, select

‘SHOP-

PING LIST,”

and then “SAVED [02]”

(for example). If you intend to get

your cat and dog each a fancy collar

and have saved those items from

the corresponding lists, you’ll see

that they now appear on your list,

indicated separately for cat and

dog.

If you try to save the same item a

second time to your list, the screen

will display:

SAVED

ALREADY!

If no items have been saved to your

shopping list, the screen will dis-

play

“SAVED [NONE]” after you

select

“SHOPPING LIST” from the

starting menu. If you then press

ON/ENTER, the screen will display

“NO DATA” for two seconds, and

then return to the previous screen

automatically.

Pet Master can store up to 25 items

for you If you have already saved

25 items to your list and want to

choosing the correct number, sim-

ply press

SAVE rather than

ON/ENTER. The screen will indicate

your number has been saved by dis-

playing “

SAVED!”

REVISING NAMES

PHONE NUMBERS

If you’ve made a mistake or need to

change a name or telephone num-

ber, revise your entry as follows.

Go to the listing that you want to

revise by scrolling and pushing

ON/ENTER. Then press and hold

ON/ENTER for two seconds. You’ll

see that

“NAME:” is flashing. If you

want to change the name or its

spelling, press

ON/ENTER again.

Use the arrow keys and

ON/ENTER

as you did before to spell the name.

Then push

SAVE. Your screen will

now show the first digit of the

phone number flashing. If you don’t

need to change the phone number,

simply press

SAVE again. Other-

wise enter a new number in the

usual manner as described above.

If you don’t need to change the

name, but instead wish to go

straight to the number to change it,

press

PREV or NEXT. Perhaps only

one digit is incorrect? In that case,

move to that digit by pressing

or NEXT until you reach the digit

that needs to be changed. That digit

will then flash. Use

UP or DOWN

until the correct digit appears, then

press

SAVE.

DELETING NAMES

AND

PHONE NUMBERS

If you want to delete a name and

number which you already have

saved, first go to the listing you

want to delete, and press

SAVE. The

screen will display:

DELETE?

DOWN (NO)

OR UP (YES)

Press DOWN to keep the listing as

is. Or press

UP to delete it, and the

screen will display

“DELETED!” for

two seconds. Then Pet Master

returns to the previous screen auto-

matically. If you like, you can then

store a new name and number at the

place where you just deleted the

information.

Storing, revising and deleting infor-

mation under

“BIRTHDAYS,”

“BOARDING,” “GROOMERS,”

“PET STORES,” “SHELTERS,”

“SITTERS,”

and “TRAINERS” is

done in the same manner described

above for

“VETS.”

Note: Entering a birthdate is a con-

venient way to keep track of how

to update the date, and press

ON/ENTER. Continue in this way to

update year, hour and minute.

When you’ve updated the minute,

press

ON/ENTER to save the infor-

mation.

Once you have set the date correct-

ly, you can also enter appointment

times so that Pet Master’s alarm

will remind you when you need to

take care of something for your pet.

For example, suppose you want to

be reminded of a veterinary

appointment. After selecting

“REMINDERS” from the starting

menu, scroll to

“VET APPT.” and

press

ON/ENTER. The next screen

will let you choose between

“ALARM ON” and “ALARM OFF.”

Using the arrow keys and then

pressing

ON/ENTER, select “ALARM

ON.”

Now the screen will display the cur-

rent date and time.

To set the alarm time, press and

hold

ON/ENTER for two seconds,

using the same method to set the

time and date as you did above

when you set the current time and

date.

When you have entered the alarm

time,

“SAVED!” will appear on-

screen. When your appointment

date and time arrive, Pet Master’s

alarm will ring, and the screen will

display:

VET APPT.

ALARM!

When the alarm is ringing, press

any button to turn it off, and the

LCD will then display the previous

screen. If no button is pressed when

the alarm sounds, it’ll ring for a
