PREPARE THE GPS COLLAR
TO CHARGE THE GPS COLLAR :
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the GPS Charging Jack located on
the bottom of the GPS Collar next to the ON/OFF button.
2. Connect one of the charger connectors to the GPS
Charging Jack.
3. Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.
4. Charge the GPS Collar for 2 hours.
5. When charging is complete, indicated by the GPS Indicator Light
blinking green, replace the rubber cover.
Using Li-Ion technology, the GPS Collar only requires a 2
hour charge. It is not harmful to let the unit charge more
than 2 hours.
Note: Approximate battery life between charges is 20 hours, depending on the frequency of use.
TO TURN THE GPS COLLAR ON:
Press the ON/OFF button and release when the GPS Indicator Light comes on green. The GPS Collar will beep 1 to 5
times indicating which channel the collar is on, and the GPS Indicator Light will double blink every 3 seconds until GPS
lock has been achieved. Once the GPS Collar has a lock, the GPS Indicator Light will single blink every 3 seconds.
TO TURN THE GPS COLLAR OFF:
Press and hold the GPS ON/OFF button until the GPS Indicator Light comes on solid red and the GPS Collar beeps for 2
seconds. To extend the battery life between charging cycles, turn OFF the GPS Collar when it is not in use.

ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• The Handheld Device and GPS Collar contain Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform,
short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if
this warning is not followed.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of spent batteries according to the regulations
in your area.
• Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (38°C +/100°F +).
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before charging,
and cannot be over charged.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done once
every 3 to 4 months. Failure to do so will result in decreased battery life.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity
over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to
half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Centre.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, call our Customer Care
Centre. Please do not open the Handheld Device or GPS Collar.
• When storing the device for an extended time, store within the following temperature range: from 0° to 25°C (from
32°F to 77°F).
• Separate collection of spent batteries is required in many regions; check the regulations in your area before
discarding spent batteries.
