FIRST THINGS FIRST
A lithium polymer battery powers your GoFindR®. The unit
comes partially charged. Charge the battery for at least 1
hour before initial use. Note: Detailed instructions with
photos of the App screen on the website at:
www.gofindinc/support
STEP 1: Charge your GoFindR®
!
1. Set the tracking unit on the charging base. Make sure
that the 4 point pins are aligned. The magnet will pull it
into place.
2. Plug the large end of the supplied USB charging cable
into the supplied USB wall charger or computer USB port.

3. Plug the small end of the supplied USB charging cable
into the charging base.
4. The charging indicator on the GoFindR® tracker will
glow amber indicating that charging is taking place.
5. When fully charged, the charging indicator will glow
green. It will go out when you remove it from the charger.
6. Remove GoFindR® unit from charging base & make
sure you have a clear line of sight to the sky, sometimes
outside is the best for the initial network connection, &
when you may be in a weak reception area. Press the
power button (lightly). Release the power button & after 3
seconds, the GoFindR will begin connecting to both GPS
satellites & the Cellular network. This could take 3-4
minutes.
The cellular indicator will be green while trying to connect
then turn to amber as it is acquiring the signal for both
Cellular & GPS. It will then go out. Next step is to
download the App.

STEP 2: Download & Configure your GoFindR APP
1. From your cell phone, go to your App store for your
smart phone & search for GoFindR Pet & download the
App.
2. If this is the first time you’ve used the App, do not enter
a username & password yet. Click the “Register” icon first;
you will see the GoFindR registration screen. Enter the
IMEI number found on the bottom of the GoFindR
charging base as shown on the diagram, letter J.
3. Give your GoFindR a name, usually the name of your
pet. Then click the “Send” button.
4. Enter a user name, a password & an email address
(user names can be the same & so can passwords) to
confirm, click “Done” & “Register”. You will be taken to a
screen to enter your default cell phone number (the main
number for alerts). Click “Send” & then you will be taken to
the “Map” screen.

5. Once logged in, you will be taken to the “Maps” page.
You will need to configure some information before you
receive valid data on the App.
6. Click on “Settings” & select your GoFindR by name on
the GoFindR drop down menu.
7. Click on “Telephones”. Enter all cell phone #’s that
should receive an SMS text alert from your tracker.
(Mobile 1 will be the same as your default number). **
8. Click on “Time zones”. Make sure your GoFindR is set
in your time zone.
9. Click on rectangular “geofence” This is where you
outline your “Safe Zone”. The rectangular geofence is the
default. Zoom in & use two fingers to position
your geofence & define the “Safe Zone”. You may also set
up the circular geofence, but usually you will use the
circular geofence when traveling and you can just insert
the address of your location.
10. If this is now your geofence, click the “Send
GeoFence” button & an SMS will be sent to the tracker
with the new geofence parameters. Do not change
anything in the SMS window before sending. After sending
this SMS, go back and click “Reset Default GeoFence”
and send that SMS. For more information on how to
change your geofence, visit: www.gofindinc.com/support

After sending the SMS click the “Back” button to go back
to the “Settings” screen & click on the “Map” tab in the
upper left corner. If the dot is green, you are now
connected but it will change from green to blue and back
as it updates positioning. However, if it is red, you are not
connected and need to re-connect. For more help visit:

STEP 3: Attach your collar clip
Attach the clip to the pet’s collar by threading the collar
through the clip.
STEP 4: Attach GoFindR into collar clip
Slide the GoFindR tracker into the clip until you hear a
click. Your GoFindR is now securely mounted to the collar
clip.
To remove the GoFindR from the collar for charging, push
the tracker in either direction & it will slide out of the clip. It
will disengage from the clip allowing you to place it on the
charger. Full re-charge will take at least 3 hours. Your
tracker is fully charged when the charging indicator light is
green.
** When setting phone numbers, keep in mind that you are
limited to 100 free SMS messages per month and each
phone number that receives a message counts as one.
