INSTALLATION
Preparation
1. Make sure that your Receiver and Transmitter are fully
charged.
2. Make sure that the Receiver is married to the Transmitter
(follow instructions in the Tri-Tronics Owners Guide
and/or that come with the Receiver).
Remove Battery Pack from the Receiver
3. If there is a collar strap attached to the Receiver remove it.
4. Unscrew the two battery pack access screws as far as
you can.
5. Separate the Battery Pack from the Receiver.
6. The battery pack screws are intentionally “captured” in
the battery pack so that they don’t get lost in normal
battery replacement. You need to remove these screws
completely in order to install the Tracer
TM
using the longer
screws that come with the Tracer
TM
. To completely remove
the battery pack screws use the threaded end of the pro-
vided Tracer
TM
screw to apply firm pressure against the
threaded end of the battery pack screw. Maintain this
pressure and turn the battery pack screw counterclock-
wise until it passes the “capture” point and comes out.
Assemble the Tracer
TM
to the Receiver
7. Use the new longer receiver screws provided in the
Tracer
TM
package and screw them into the battery pack
in place of the screws that were removed. Apply moder-
ate pressure as you turn them clockwise and they will
pop through the capture point in the battery pack.
8. Place the Tracer
TM
on the battery pack first and push the
screws through the holes.
9. Then place the receiver onto Tracer
TM
with the contacts
inserted into the rectangular holes making sure that
the screws are aligned with the screw holes in the
Tracer
TM
and the receiver.
10. Align all three pieces and hold them together very firmly
to compress the sealing gaskets. Push the screws in
firmly while turning them in a clockwise direction to
tighten them. Alternate tightening each screw a few
turns at a time until the entire unit is tight with the
screws are firmly set.
11. When you have completed the Tracer
TM
assembly process
the receiver will automatically be switched
on. You can confirm this by observing
the receiver indicator light. It will
flash green twice per second every
four seconds when the receiver is
on and charged.
12. Your Tracer
TM
is now ready to use.
OVERVIEW:
The Tracer
TM
is a lightweight, very brilliant, LED light
device that lets you know where your dog is after dark. It is available in
several colors and has a choice of two light modes, blinking and steady.
By using differing combinations of light color and mode you can identify
multiple dogs. Also, you can leave it on for the whole hunt, or switch it
on only when needed.
The Tracer
TM
can be used with any Tri-Tronics receiver that has three
“belt loops” securing the collar strap and is compatible with any G3 or
G2 training system. Older Tri-Tronics models with only two “belt loops”
or with contact points that screw through the collar strap cannot use the
Tracer
TM
.
With most of our remote trainer models, you can turn your Tracer
TM
on
and off remotely at the full range of your unit (e.g., ½ mile,1 mile, or even
2 miles for the Trashbreaker). With our Sport Basic and Sport Combo
models, you can turn the Tracer
TM
on only from 2 inches away.
Your Tracer
TM
fits between your receiver and receiver battery pack and is
fully waterproof. It takes its power from the receiver battery. The effect
of Tracer
TM
operation on receiver battery life is covered at the end of this
manual.
The Tracer
TM
has its own operating system that is separate from the re-
ceiver operating system. Therefore, the Tracer
TM
and receiver can be
turned on and off without affecting the on/off status of each other. (Note,
however, that the receiver must be “on” if you wish to switch the Tracer
TM
on and off remotely.) Because the operating systems are separate, the
Tracer
TM
cannot affect the operation of your receiver.
