Tracker G400™ and G500™ series
Tracker G400™ or Tracker G500™ is a GPS (Global Positioning System) device that positions itself with
the help of satellites and sends the information to a mobile phone that is running Tracker Hunter® or
Tracker for Android™ software.
When you start using Tracker G400™ or G500™, you should first charge the battery.
Charging
Place the charger connector in the socket. 3.1
The red light 1.2 is lit to show the device is charging. The charging may take up to seven hours if the battery
is empty at the beginning.
When the charging is complete, the green light 1.2 goes on.
NOTE!
Use only the original charger. A wrong charger may damage the device.
Charging is permitted in the temperature range of +10C - +30C.
Charge the battery fully before using device for the first time. This will help ensure the maximum capacity
and lifecycle of the battery.

2. Switch power ON.
3. The green light 1.2 will turn on for a few seconds.
4. When the green and red lights flash at three-second intervals, the device is searching for GPS satel-
lites.

Changing the reflex collar to G500
1. 2. 3.
1. Placing the collar
Place the collar on the device and slip the antenna wire without the cover tube through the collar’s
elongated hole. Lower edge of the hole should meet the slot on the device.
2. Placing the cover tube and attaching the collar holder
Place the cover tube over the antenna wire. Slip the antenna with its cover through the hole above the
elongated one on the collar. Please watch carefully the pictures 2 to 4.
Squeeze the lid and the device tightly together while carefully screwing in the four torx screws. Start
with your fingers and then tighten the screws with sufficient power (max moment 25 cNm).
Do not use the collar with the reflex collar or without the support for the antenna. The metal
ring of the tube may cause higher usage of the cover material and can make to a hole into the
cover. Inpropriate use like this is not covered by the warranty of the device!
NOTE! Do not screw too tight, because the screw inserts may come loose or damage the collar holder.
How to update the G500
If you have the latest app version or not older 1.14, you can update the firmware in the transmitter.
To check the version, go to the dog menu> configuration> check for updates. When you receive a notifica-
tion that updates are available, follow the exact instructions in the programme.
