Using the Tracer

TM

 With Your System

1.  Make sure the receiver is charged and is switched on  

  using the receiver on/off button.  
2.  The Tracer is switched on or off with your transmitter  

  and is activated separately from the receiver. You must  

  remember to switch the Tracer

TM

 off when you are  

  through using it or it will drain the receiver battery.
3.  To use the Tracer

TM

 and your Classic 70, Trashbreaker,  

  Field 90, Flyway, PRO 100, 200, or 500: 

    a. Set the intensity dial to the “A” position.
    b. Hold the transmitter at least two feet away from     

      the receiver. The Tracer

TM

 can be activated at any  

      distance up to the range of your remote trainer.
    c. Press any stimulation button or the tone button if  

      your model has one. The Tracer

TM

 will light up in  

      the blinking mode.
    d. Press a button again and the Tracer

TM

 will change  

      to a steady light.
    e. Press a button again and the Tracer

TM

 will go off.

4.  To use the Tracer

TM

 and your Upland Special or Sport  

  Upland: 

    a. Set the intensity dial to any position other than “N.”
    b. Hold the transmitter at least two feet from the 

      receiver. The Tracer

TM

 can be activated at any

      distance up to the range of your remote trainer.
    c. Press the Beeper button. The Tracer

TM

 will light up

      in the blinking mode.

    d. Press the button again and the Tracer

TM

 will change  

      to a steady light.
    e. Press the button again and the Tracer

TM

 will go off.

Note:

 If a receiver containing a Tracer

TM

 is installed on a collar that also has 

a Beeper then the transmitter beeper button will simultaneously change the 

setting of both the Tracer

TM

 and the Beeper each time the beeper button is 

pressed.

5.  To use the Tracer

TM

 and your Sport Basic or Sport Combo:

Note:

 You can use a stimulation button or the Tone/Buzz button to turn the 

Tracer

TM

 on and off. We highly recommend that you make it a habit to use only 

the Tone/Buzz button to prevent accidentally stimulating a dog. Or you could 

set the Intensity Dial to its lowest level (1/2) when switching the Tracer

TM

 on 

and off and then move it back to your normal training level. However, if your 

dog is very sensitive, neither of the above methods is recommended when 

using the Sport Basic or Sport Combo.  Instead, you should turn your Tracer

TM

 

on and off only when the receiver is not being worn by the dog.
If using a Sport Combo set the Mode dial to the down position (“TCM”) so that 

your top button will be “tone.”

    a. Hold the transmitter within one inch of the front of  

      receiver.  This is the side that contains the green  

      receiver function light and is opposite the side that  

      contains the receiver charging contacts.  (The 

      Tracer

TM

 cannot be controlled from a distance with  

      the Sport Basic or Sport Combo.)   
    b. Press the top (Tone) button on the transmitter and the 

      Tracer

TM

 will light up in the blinking mode.

    c. Press the button again and the Tracer

TM

 will change  

      to a steady light.
    d. Press the button again and the Tracer

TM

 will go off.

  Return your Sport Combo to the mode you normally use  

  for training.

Troubleshooting
6.  If the Tracer

TM

 light does not light up when you switch 

  it on:

    a. Make sure your receiver and transmitter are fully  

      charged.
    b. Make sure your receiver and transmitter are married  

      together.
    c. Make sure your receiver is switched on.
    d. Make sure your transmitter is not set on “N.”
    e. Re-install the Tracer

TM

 following the instructions  

      above. 

Visibility, Timing, and Battery Details

7.  The Tracer

TM

 is visible at night up to 1/2 mile away.

8.  In blinking mode the lights make two rapid flashes

  approximately every 3 seconds.
9.  The Tracer

TM

 takes power from the rechargeable receiver  

  battery.  In blinking mode the battery life will be reduced  

  slightly (approximately 10%). The reduction is greater  

  in the steady mode (approximately 50%).  Tri-Tronics  

  recommends using the blinking mode whenever possible  

  to extend the receiver battery life.
