Operating Instructions
Real-Time Tracking
Once activated and connected, the Tracki app displays your pet's location in real-time. The tracker utilizes GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi technologies for accurate positioning. For rapid updates, activate "Chase Mode" which provides location data every 5 seconds.

Geo-Fence Zones and Smart Alerts
Set up virtual boundaries, known as Geo-Fence Zones, within the Tracki app. You will receive instant notifications via push alert, email, or SMS if your pet enters or exits these predefined safe areas. The system also provides alerts for movement, speed, and low battery status.
