Note! VHF-receiver must be paired once to your mobile device. It must be re-paired if the mobile device changes or if the VHF-receiver is removed from the Bluetooth device
list of your mobile device.
5.5 Changing the Bluetooth mode of the VHF-receiver
If connecting to the mobile device is not successful with the default Bluetooth mode (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE), try to change the Bluetooth mode by holding down the
connection button of the VHF-receiver for 6 seconds. After the VHF-receiver blinks the green light, release the button, and wait for the VHF-receiver to change its
Bluetooth mode to the compatibility mode (Bluetooth Classic).
After the VHF-receiver has changed the Bluetooth mode, the blue light will blink twice per second until the connection to the phone is successful. When the connection has
been established to the mobile device, the blue light will blink once per three seconds.
If the Bluetooth mode is changed, you must restart the connection process from the beginning.
5.6 Attaching the collar on the dog
Always acquire at least one location from the device before releasing the dog so that you can verify that the batteries are sufficiently charged, and that the device is
operating normally.
When you have completed the setup of the device, you can attach the collar to the dog. Tighten the collar to a suitable tightness and fasten the buckle carefully. Place the
device on the dog's neck so that the battery casing remains underneath the dog's neck.
You can attach a walking leash to the attachment point on the device. The attachment point is intended for short-term use only
5.7 Turning the devices off
Turn off the collar by placing the magnet icon on the back of the VHF-receiver against the ON/OFF icon on the collar (figure 7). Hold the VHF-receiver against the collar until
the red light on the collar starts to blink.
The VHF-receiver can be turned off by holding down the power button for three seconds (figure 8). The light on the VHF-receiver will illuminate for three seconds, after
which the lights on the VHF-receiver will go out.
Note! If the battery level is between 25-75 %, instead of a green light an orange light will illuminate. If the battery level is under 25%, instead of green or orange light a red
light will illuminate. See more info on device function indication lights in chapter 6.5.
5.8 Turning the collar back on
The collar can be restarted by bringing the magnet icon of the VHF-receiver against the ON/OFF icon of the collar (figure 9).
