Pathfinder

by Dogtra

GPS Tracker for dog

Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the Dogtra Pathfinder.

Caution

1.The Dogtra Pathfinder is intended for the sole purpose of tracking and training dogs. The

Pathfinder is NOT intended for human use or use on other animals. Dogtra does not

assume any liability for the improper use of the Dogtra Pathfinder.

2. The Dogtra Pathfinder is meant for use in open outdoor areas. Operating the Pathfinder

near tall buildings and other steel structures will reduce the range of the GPS.

3.Pay close attention to the signal range when operating the Pathfinder across long

distances and low line-of-sight view.

2. Dogtra highly recommends consulting a dog training professional when using the

Pathfinder e-collar to correct dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs or people.

3. The Dogtra Pathfinder connects to your phone using Bluetooth. Dogtra’s industry leading

technology filtering system ensures minimal interference with other electronic devices. Out

digital microprocessor offers thousands of unique codes to eliminate frequency match-up

with other Dogtra e-collars. Dogtra recommends consulting your physician if you are

going to use the e-collar and you have any type of medical devices.

4. If the constant button is held down for 12 seconds or more, the unit will automatically

shut down. It reactivates when the button is released and depressed again.

5. A loose fit can allow the receiver/collar to move around on the dog’s neck. When this

happens, the contact points may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the unit is too loose,

the contact points will not make proper contact and your dog will not receive consistent

stimulation.

6. Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period

of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,

occasionally reposition the receiver/collar so that the contact points are moved to a

different location on the dog’s neck. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you

use the unit. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian.

7. Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation. Please look at your dog’s

reaction to find just the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may vary depending on

the situation and distractions. Normally a distracted dog (chasing another dog, squirrel, etc.) will

require a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no distraction.

8. E-collars can be used with many different methods. If you have any concerns in the training

methods provided by Dogtra, consult with a dog training professional.

Troubleshooting

1. First

1.1 Charging the Pathfinder

The Pathfinder uses Lithium Polymer batteries.

-Fully charge the Pathfinder’s GPS Connector and GPS Collar before the first

use.

- Only use official Dogtra chargers with the Pathfinder.

- Do not charge the Pathfinder in near flammable substances.

- Fully charge the Pathfinder if storing for 1 month or longer.

* When to recharge the Pathfinder

- When the LED is red on the GPS Connector or GPS Collar.

- When the app displays a low battery percentage.

- When the LED does not turn on.

How to charge the Pathfinder

1) Connect the charger to the GPS Connector and GPS Collar using the splitter

cable.

2) Plug the charger into a 120v (220v in Europe) outlet.

3) When fully charged, detach the cables and plug the rubber caps over the

charging ports on the GPS Connector/Collar.

4) The GPS Collar turns off while charging and cannot be used, while the GPS

Connector functions while charging.

- The LED will display red while charging and green when the unit is fully

charged. The GPS Connector LED will be green when turned on while charging.

- A depleted battery requires 3.5 hours to fully charge.
