Operating Instructions

1. Powering On the Base Unit

Press the power button on the base unit to turn it on. The indicator lights will briefly illuminate.

2. Selecting a Pet Tag

The base unit has four numbered buttons (1, 2, 3, 4). Each button corresponds to a specific pet tag. Press the button corresponding to the tag you wish to locate. If you have fewer than four tags, only use the buttons for the tags you have paired.

3. Locating Your Pet

Once a tag is selected, the base unit will display a series of LED lights and emit beeping sounds to indicate the direction and proximity of your pet. The more lights that illuminate and the faster the beeping, the closer you are to your pet.

• Directional Arrows: Follow the illuminated directional arrows on the base unit.
• Signal Strength Indicators: The vertical bar of LEDs indicates signal strength (proximity). More LEDs mean closer proximity.
• Audio Cues: The frequency of the beeping sound increases as you get closer to the tag.

Walk slowly and sweep the base unit in different directions to pinpoint your pet's location. The signal can penetrate walls and obstacles, but range may be reduced.
