NOTE : If no communication can be established between the GSM network and the
collar or the GSM ground station, the GSM provider will retry to send the data. Data in
the provider's memory are subject to a validity period. If no contact has been
established within this period (usually 2-3 days, but depending on the provider's
conditions), the data stored by the provider will be deleted without delivery. For this
reason make sure that your ground station is switched on at all times to allow the data to
reach you within the validity period. If a newly send GPS schedule is not delivered within
the validity period, resend the schedule to make sure that the collar has received the
new schedule from the GSM network. If you have questions please do not hesitate to
ask our customer service.
