Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including tracking devices, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are

adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch

off your device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that

could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of 25

centimeters (10 inches) should be maintained between a tracking device and

an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter

deﬁbrillator, to avoid potential interference with the medical device.

Persons who have such devices should:

always keep the wireless device more than 25 centimeters (10 inches) from the •

medical device when the tracking device is turned on.

not carry the radio device in a breast pocket.•

hold the tracking device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize the • potential for interference.

turn the tracking device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that • interference is taking place.

read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted medical • device.

If you have any questions about using your tracking device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

Potentially explosive and ﬁre environments

Switch off and remove batteries from your tracking devices when in any area with

a potentially explosive or ﬁre atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.

Therefore do not release or keep your pets, dogs or domestic animals to areas

where is a risk for ﬁre or explosive accidents. Potentially explosive atmospheres

include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Even normal conditions after using of tracking device, remove batteries from the devices and storage batteries separately one by one without any risk of short circuits

of batteries. Handle always batteries one by one for risk of sparks or explosion of battery. Do not place batteries (even empty) in your pockets. Do not throw away batteries into open ﬁre. There is a danger of serious bodily injury or even death.

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or

even death. Switch off the tracking device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in

progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,

clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using

liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this device can

be safely used in their vicinity.

Quick Guide

1. Switch on the receiver by pressing the button continuously.

2. Calibrate the receiver’s internal compass by rotating the receiver in three directions until you hear a short double-beep.

3. Pair the transmitter with the receiver:

a. Press the button shortly to select a free channel for the transmitter.

b. Press the button continuously until you hear three rising beeps.

4. Put the transmitter collar on the dog.

5. Hold the receiver in horizontal position in front of you.

6. Press the button shortly until the number of the transmitter you want to locate is displayed.

7. Locate the bearing by turning around slowly but constantly.

→ The lights of the Tracking signal display light up in green one by one,

and the receiver beeps at one second interval.

→ When the receiver has tracked the transmitter, the regular beeping

goes off and one of the Tracking signal display lights turns red to indicate the direction of the dog.

8. Point the receiver to the direction of the dog, and keep the receiver in

continuous left - right sweeping motion (min. 180°) to maintain the

bearing fresh.
