require two radio licenses.
The owner of the device must check the radio
licensing requirements and, if necessary, acquire

authorities in the country of use.

use of the device. Further information about radio

3. Safety and maintenance instructions
3.1 Batteries and charger
Use only approved 3.7 V 18650 Li-Ion batteries and
chargers as recommended by the manufacturer. The
battery must be equipped with a protective circuit.
Batteries can be recommended by Ultracom Ltd.’s
authorized retailers or by the product manufacturer
itself.
Take note of the (+) and (-) symbols on the battery
when you are inserting it into the device or charger.
To ensure that you obtain the best possible life cycle
for the battery, only charge it when necessary. Do not
allow the batteries to remain unused for extended
periods. Always follow the recommendations of the
battery and charger manufacturer.
Before you begin using the device, charge the
batteries that will be used in the collar and host
device. The batteries do not need to be removed
from the device after every use. However, it is
recommended that the batteries be removed for
long periods of storage.
The capacity and operating duration of the
batteries will decrease when the batteries are used
a lot or if they are occasionally not used at all. It
is recommended that the batteries be replaced
annually to ensure that the device functions flawlessly
and has a long operating duration.
3.2 Changing and shortening the collar part
You can detach the collar part from the device as
follows. Hold the device in one hand with your other
hand on the device’s battery compartment. With
your other hand, pull the collar from the clasp away
from the collar device. The collar part will slide away
from the device with ease.
To install a new collar into the device, thread the
collar carefully into the device with the tip facing
forward, beginning at the battery compartment.
You can also shorten the collar by cutting it to the
desired length. Do not cut sections of the collar
between the casings!
The collar can be washed without chemical cleaning
agents.
3.3 Replacing the antenna
You can replace the antenna on the Avius host
device yourself. Turn the antenna counterclockwise
by hand. Fix the new antenna by rotating it into the
connector clockwise (Figure A). Do not overtighten
the antenna.
Note! The antenna on the collar cannot be replaced
by the user. The antenna must be replaced by an
official Ultracom service point.
3.4 Other matters of note
The accuracy provided by the GPS device may be
impacted by factors such as unfavorable satellite
locations, large buildings, natural obstructions and
the prevailing weather conditions.
GPS should never be used to identify locations
precisely and you should never rely solely on the
location data provided by GPS receivers. The maps
may contain errors and the location
reported by GPS may also be erroneous or
problematic to obtain.
