The collar holder is designed to be used with collars ranging in size from 3/8”
(9mm) wide and 3/32” (2mm) thick to 1.5” (38mm) wide and 1/4” (6mm)
thick. The collar length must be 6.5” (16.5cm) or greater. Note that thicker
collars can be accommodated if they are not also the maximum width, such as
a 1/2” (12mm) diameter round collar for example. If you are choosing a new
collar for your pet then select the widest and thickest collar that will fit them
comfortably as this will provide the most secure attachment for the tag.
A note about safety: There has been much discussion in the news about the
safety of radio frequency devices, such as mobile phones, and you may be
concerned about the safety of attaching a device that transmits radio
frequencies to your pet. Rest assured that the Marco Polo tag outputs
extremely small amounts of radio frequency energy - amounts so low that they
are considerably under the threshold that would require any safety review. This
is also why the Marco Polo tag can run for many weeks on a single charge of
its small battery.
Note: To avoid possible injury, the American Kennel Club (AKC)
recommends that ALL collars and tags of any kind be removed from pets
prior to crating.
Powering On the Locator and Tag
To power on the locator: Press and hold the Power button (see the User
Controls and Displays section for the location of the power button) until all of
the display segments flash and the locator beeps twice.
To power on the tag: Press and hold the power button until the red light
flashes. The number of flashes indicates the tag’s battery charge status. Three
sets of 3 flashes (3-3-3) means fully charged, 3 sets of two flashes (2-2-2) is
partially charged and 3 flashes (1-1-1) indicates the tag requires charging
before further use. Note that if the Marco Polo Locator is monitoring or
tracking the tag and the battery level drops to the 1-1-1 level you will see a
“Low Batt” indication on the locator’s display. After the battery status flashes
are finished the red light will flash briefly once every 10 seconds.
To Turn the tag Off: Press and hold the power button until you see the red
light come on. If the tag’s status light shows one long flash it is turning off, if it
shows 3 or more flashes it is going on as described above. If the tag is “busy”
