Upload the program to collar or pod
1. Keep the collar connected to your laptop or pc via the USB cable.
2. Open the file that you wish to upload to your collar.
3. From the collar menu click upload. A blue screen briefly appears on your
screen indicating that the file is being uploaded. This only takes about 1
second.
4. From the collar pull down menu click download. This sends the file back
from the collar onto your screen so that you can ensure that the uploaded
file is as you intended. What you see on the screen now is the file in your
collar.
Set Time
1. Navigate to the settings page. In the
collar options section click set. This
sets the time in your GPS data logger.
If your collar or pod has its magnet in
place the time will not saved and will not be there when you remove the
magnet to turn your collar or pod
on. Therefore it is important to
always do this step after removing
the magnet from the GPS data
logger. After you set the time you
will see the message “Time set ok.”
2. Unplug the USB cable from your collar.
3. Test your collar to be sure it is taking GPS fixes….do this for as many
days as you can. It will work but it is better to test it now.
4. Insert the blue rubber USB plug. Extra plugs have been provided.
5. Before deployment place a copious amount of RTV silicone over the USB
plug. This will keep water out of the USB port and GPS data logger.

expected to stop. If, after that date, the battery still has current the collar
will continue to operate according to your programming.
