on your footing when searching at night. To turn the beeping off, press the
Down button for 3 seconds.
If you and/or your pet are moving then the signal conditions are constantly
changing and the information on the tracking display may be rapidly changing
as well. For example, if your pet moves behind a large obstruction, such as a
large building or a hill, the signal strength may fall off quickly or become too
low to be received even though your pet has not moved very much further
away. Also, depending on obstructions and objects that might reflect or block
the signal coming from your pet’s tag, the locator may not be able to calculate
the direction to the pet. These conditions will be reflected on the tracking
display as shown in Figure 9.
No Signal - If a signal is not received back from the tag, the tag icon does not
flash and the No Signal message is displayed. This condition can occur from
time to time under normal conditions and is not a malfunction. The locator will
keep trying to communicate with the tag. If 10 attempts in a row to
communicate with the tag fail (about 50 seconds) the locator will automatically
restart the searching operation and the display will appear as in Figure 7. If the
searching operation is unsuccessful the locator will emit one long beep and
wait for you to press Select to resume searching for the tag again.

front of you, waist high, level to the ground – like you are carrying a
pan of water.
