Operating Instructions
1. Real-Time Tracking

2. Electronic Fence (Geo-Fence)

3. Equipment Alerts (Buzzer and Light)
In situations where your pet is nearby but out of sight, you can activate the tracker's built-in buzzer and light through the app. The device will emit a beeping sound and flash its lights, assisting you in quickly locating your pet, especially in low-light conditions.

Maintenance
1. Charging
Regularly charge your device to ensure continuous tracking. Battery life varies based on usage and tracking frequency. Use only the provided magnetic USB charging cable.
2. Waterproofing
The wanwaytech PET-4G GPS Tracker is IP65 waterproof, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion. However, avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water exposure to maintain its integrity.
3. Cleaning
Clean the tracker periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the device's casing or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power it on again.
- No GPS signal or inaccurate location: Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky. GPS signals can be obstructed by buildings, dense foliage, or indoors. Move to an open outdoor area. Check if the subscription is active.
- App not connecting to device: Verify that the device is powered on and within cellular network coverage. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version. Try restarting both the device and your smartphone.
- Geo-fence alerts are inaccurate or frequent false alarms: GPS accuracy can vary. Adjust the size of your geo-fence area to be larger to reduce false triggers, especially in areas with varying signal strength.
- QR code on device not working for "help me home" feature: This feature may require specific setup within the app or may not be fully functional. Refer to the app's help section or contact customer support for assistance with this specific function.
- Buzzer sound is too quiet: The buzzer is designed for close-range location assistance. Its volume cannot be adjusted. For longer distances, rely on GPS tracking and the flashing light.
