Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your eMACROS Dog GPS Tracker, consider the following common solutions:
- No Signal/Poor Tracking: Ensure both devices are fully charged. Move to an open area away from dense foliage, large buildings, or significant terrain obstructions that can interfere with RF and GPS signals.
- Device Not Powering On: Verify that the devices are fully charged. If they still do not power on, contact customer support.
- Virtual Fence Alerts Not Triggering: Check that the virtual fence is correctly set and activated on the handheld controller. Ensure the dog is actually moving beyond the set boundary.
- Short Battery Life: Battery life can vary based on usage patterns and tracking mode (live tracking consumes more power). Ensure regular charging.
