PawTrax® TAGZ™ Userguide
Step 1 – Activate and top up sim
Following the attached guide, activate and top up the sim. Unless you have chosen to supply
your own sim, the sim card will be pre-installed in your TAGZ. The mobile number allocated to
the sim is the number of your TAGZ.
Step 2 – Charge TAGZ
Fully charge your TAGZ using the supplied charger and charger clip. The light on the charger
will change from red to green when fully charged. Once you have set up your admin number
(see step 3 below) you will also receive a “fully charged” sms from the TAGZ.
Step 3 – Set Up your TAGZ
Send the following three sms messages to the TAGZ. Wait for confirmation sms from each
before sending the next message. You can use the optional 3
rd
party Android/iOS app to send
the commands if preferred.
