Switching Between Modes
You can transition a pet’s tag directly from one mode to another by pressing its
pet button until the mode you want (Track, Monitor or Idle) is indicated and
then press select. You may cycle through the available modes as many times as
you want as long as you press the pet button at least once every 5 seconds and
don’t press Select. Note that only one pet may be tracked at one time so if you
move a pet’s tag from idle to track or from monitor to track, any other active
tags will disappear from the display so that you can concentrate on tracking the
selected pet.
Low Battery Alarm
Each time the locator communicates with a tag, the tag sends back its battery’s
charge status to the locator. If the tag’s battery is low then the “Low Batt”
message will appear on the display and there will be one short beep each time
the locator communicates with the tag. At the time that the low battery alarm is
displayed the tag still has enough battery capacity to stay in monitor mode or
idle mode for about one more week or track mode for about 8 hours. If you are
not using the locator to monitor your pet(s) then you should check the battery
status of each tag once a week by turning the tag off and back on and
observing the number of times the status light flashes when the tag starts up. A
1-1-1 flash means a low battery condition, 2-2-2 flashes is half charged and 3-
3-3 flashes indicates a fully charged battery. You can also check to make
certain the tag’s battery is not low by putting it into track mode from the
locator and checking to see if the Low Battery icon is shown on the locator’s
display.
