Always wait until you have one location before
EN
releasing the dog onto the terrain. This will enable
you to check the battery level and ensure that the
device is functioning flawlessly.
The signal quality between the collar and the host
device may be impacted by natural obstructions or
buildings. The signal will be best when there is an
unobstructed line of sight.
You can improve the signal by moving to a more
elevated area compared to the collar.
Do not bend the section between the electronic
casings beyond its natural curvature.
One Avius host device can connect up to 50 Avius
collars.
4. Starting up and using the device
4.1 Installing batteries
Charge the batteries before installing them into the
collar and host device.
Remove the covers of the battery compartments by
turning the covers counterclockwise. Insert a single
3.7 V 18650-sized Li-Ion battery into the battery
compartments of the collar and the host device. Take
note of the (+) and (-) symbols on the battery and the
battery compartments (Figure B and Figure C).
Close the covers to the battery compartments by
turning them clockwise. Do not overtighten the
covers!
4.2 Starting up the devices
Start up the host device by pressing the power
button on the host device (Figure D). A green LED
light on the host device will illuminate for three
seconds to indicate that the device is starting up.
If the host device's battery is low, a red LED light will
illuminate for three seconds instead of the green
LED light.
Start up the collar by placing the magnet icon on
the host device (Figure E) near the power icon on
the side of the collar's battery compartment (Figure
F). Hold the host device against the collar for a few
seconds and the green LED light on the collar's GPS
compartment will illuminate for three seconds to
indicate that the device is starting up.
The collar and host device will pair with each other
the first time they start up. In the future, the devices
will establish a connection automatically when they
start up.
Take the collar outdoors so it can connect to the
satellites. While the collar is searching for satellites,
the green LED light will blink once a second. When
the collar has discovered a sufficient number of
satellites to provide an accurate location, the green
LED light on the collar will blink once every three
seconds.
4.3 Tracker application
The Tracker application is required to use
the device. Open your mobile device's application
store (Android: Google Play, Apple iOS: Apple App
Store) and search the store using the keyword
"Tracker". Please note that the minimum
10
operating system of the mobile device must be at
least Android 6.0 or Apple iOS 11.0.
Download and install the Tracker application.
Start up the application and proceed with
registration. You can find the full application manual
from our website support.tracker.fi.
4.4 Attaching the collar to the dog
When the devices are ready for use, you can attach
the collar around the dog's neck. Tighten the collar
around the dog's neck to a suitable tightness and
close the buckle carefully. Put the collar around the
dog's neck in such a way that the collar's battery
compartment is below the dog's neck. The position
of the GPS compartment with the LED lights varies
depending on the circumference of the dog's neck.
It is a good idea to wait until the satellites have
been found before placing the collar around the
dog's neck. It is recommended that you wait until
you have one location before releasing the dog so
you can check that the battery has enough charge
and that the collar and host device are working
flawlessly.
4.5 Turning off the devices
Turn off the collar by placing the magnet icon on
the back of the host device (Figure E) against the
power icon on the collar (Figure F). Hold the host
device against the collar until the LED lights on the
collar go out.
The host device can be turned off by holding down
the power button on the host device (Figure D) for
three seconds. The LED light on the host device will
illuminate for three seconds, after which the LED
lights on the host device will go out.
