Setup Guide
Setting up your Fi Series 3+ Smart Dog Collar is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started:
- Download the Fi App: Search for "Fi Dog Collar" in your smartphone's app store and download the official Fi application.
- Create a Profile: Open the app and follow the on-screen prompts to create your account and your dog's profile. You will be asked for details such as your dog's name, breed, age, and weight.
- Connect Collar via Bluetooth: The app will guide you to connect your Fi collar to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
- Set Up Fi Base: The Fi Base is essential for charging your collar and ensuring proper signal coverage inside your home. Place it where your dog spends most of its time. For larger homes, you can extend coverage with multiple bases. Plug in the Fi Base to a secure power source and connect it to your Wi-Fi network as prompted by the app.
- Assemble Your Collar: The collar consists of the tracker module and the collar band. The tracker module easily clips into the collar band. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Activate Collar: Place the assembled Fi Collar onto the Fi Base. The collar should magnetically connect to the indented side of the Base. The app will confirm activation once connected.

Operating Your Fi Collar
The Fi Series 3+ Smart Dog Collar provides comprehensive monitoring and tracking capabilities through its intuitive mobile application.
- Live Location Tracking: The collar utilizes precision GPS to track your dog's live location nationwide, 24/7. Unlike some other trackers, there is no limited range, allowing you to locate your dog even if they are far away.
- Escape Alerts & Lost Dog Mode: If your dog ever leaves a designated "Safe Zone" (a custom geofenced area you set up in the app), the Fi app will immediately send an alert to your phone. It will then launch "Lost Dog Mode," showing you your dog's exact real-time location on a map, helping you quickly retrieve them.
- Activity & Health Monitoring: Beyond location, the Fi collar tracks your dog's daily steps, sleep patterns, and can even provide insights into their behavior. This data is accessible through the app, allowing you to monitor your dog's health and activity levels over time.
- Multi-User Access: You can add family members, friends, or even your professional dog walker to your Fi account. This ensures that everyone involved in your dog's care stays informed and can monitor their location and activity. Unlimited users are included with your Fi membership.
- LED Light: The collar features an integrated LED light that can be activated via the app, improving your dog's visibility during nighttime walks or in low-light conditions.

Maintenance
The Fi Series 3+ Smart Dog Collar is built to withstand the rigors of daily dog life. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance, consider the following:
- Charging: The collar charges wirelessly on its Fi Base. A single charge can last up to three months, depending on usage and signal strength. Place the collar on the base when not in use or when the battery level is low.
- Durability: The collar features stainless steel hardware and is designed to withstand up to 400 pounds of pull resistance, making it suitable for strong and active dogs.
- Waterproof: The Fi collar is waterproof, allowing your dog to swim, play in the rain, or get wet without damaging the device.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the collar band with mild soap and water. Ensure the tracker module is dry before placing it back on the charging base.
- Tracker Removal: The tracker module can be easily popped out of the collar band, allowing you to switch collar styles or clean the band separately.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Fi Series 3+ Smart Dog Collar, consider the following common solutions:
- No Location Data: Ensure the collar is charged and within range of a Wi-Fi network (when indoors) or has clear GPS signal (when outdoors). Check the Fi app for any connectivity alerts.
- Battery Draining Quickly: Frequent use of Lost Dog Mode or being in areas with poor cellular signal can increase battery consumption. Ensure the collar is charging correctly on the Fi Base.
- App Connectivity Issues: Try restarting the Fi app or your smartphone. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and the app has necessary permissions.
- Collar Not Activating: Double-check that the collar is correctly placed on the Fi Base and that the base is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi.
