STEALTH™ Radio Locator is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its

• The SportDOG

STEALTH™ Radio Locator is intended to be an aid for tracking your dog while hunting. Do not rely
solely on the device for locating your dog in any circumstances.
• Do not replace batteries or turn off the handheld receiver when the dog is in the field with the collar transmitter
as the pairing to the collar could be lost. If the collar transmitter is in use, you have one minute to change the
receiver’s battery without breaking the pairing to the handheld receiver.
• If you are using the STEALTH™ Radio Locator for the first time, it is recommended that you practice operating the
system without your dog.
• Always make sure that the collar transmitter is on and paired with the handheld receiver before you put the collar
on the dog.
• If you point the handheld receiver down even momentarily during tracking, the handheld receiver will go into
Standby Mode and the location will reset. The collar transmitter must be relocated when the handheld receiver is
no longer in Standby Mode.
• Erasing a collar transmitter erases the pairing information on the handheld receiver. The collar transmitter cannot
be tracked until it is paired again to a receiver. Be sure you know the location of your dog or remove the collar
transmitter from your dog before erasing it.
• Do not try to turn on the handheld receiver while it is wet.
• Use only batteries from manufacturers approved by SportDOG
®
. See www.sportdog.com for the latest
information.
• Always use new batteries and change them all at once. Do not mix new and used batteries.
• Use a coin or similar item to open the battery cover. Be careful with a screwdriver, as excessive force may
damage the threads.
• Switching off the collar transmitter does not undo the pairing. When turning the collar transmitter back on, the
channel associated with the collar transmitter must be selected on the handheld receiver.
• Do not use pressurized water, solvents, oils, or detergents to clean the collar transmitter and
handheld receiver.
• The handheld receiver tolerates rain but has no guarantee for water resistance.
• Battery should only be changed in a cool, dry location; condensed moisture inside the battery housing may
damage the devices.
• Do not open the devices in any other way than instructed in this manual.
• Use only accessories and add-on antennas that are approved by SportDOG
®
. Do not make your own
modifications to the devices.
• For long term storage use a dry, normal temperature storage room and remove the batteries from the devices.
