Instructions

Change Location - If the locator does receive a signal back from the tag but

cannot calculate a direction to the tag the Change Location message will be

displayed to remind you to move the locator to a better location (see the

Tracking Tips section for more information.) The Change Location display

will only appear when the locator is unable to calculate a direction after four

consecutive attempts. As long as a response is received from your pet’s tag the

signal strength information will be updated, even if a direction can not be

determined.

As you move along in your search for your pet it is normal to see No Signal or

Change Location pop up occasionally - the system is designed to accommodate

these situations. Continue along the path of the last displayed direction or the

path that gives an increasing signal level if no direction is displayed.

Exiting Searching/Track Mode

To exit searching mode, press the Pet button three times to enter idle mode

(both Track and Monitor are off.) To exit track press the Pet button twice to

enter idle mode. Alternatively, if you are finished using the locator you can

simply turn it off to exit either mode, it is never necessary to change anything

on your pet’s tag; it stays on all the time and changes modes automatically.

Tracking Tips

If you are out in an open area with few houses or hills and your pet is within

range of the locator then tracking is easy – just start the tracking mode and

follow the arrow directly to your pet. If you are not careful you will run into

them or step on them! However, if you are in a crowded residential area and/or

an area with many hills, the radio signals lose their power much more quickly

and are blocked by some objects while being reflected off others. In these

circumstances you will need to master some techniques. Here are some tips on

tracking that will help you find your pet quickly:

1. When searching by car, drive slowly with the locator in Searching

mode and listen for the beeps to begin. If possible, make a loop around

the neighborhood. If you do not get any response from your pet’s tag

then make larger loops or crisscross the area to widen the search. Keep

pressing Select to restart the search when you hear the long beep

indicating the locator has timed out (about once every 2 minutes.)

2. When searching on foot, if the pet is not within range at first, follow

the direction you usually go when you walk your pet. Restart the
