  • Page 4: How The System Works

    HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS A miniature transmitter is attached to your pet's collar which emits a pulsed radio frequency signal. This signal is picked up by a directional antenna attached to a very sensitive handheld receiver. As the antenna is pointed towards the transmitter on your pet's collar, the signal becomes louder in the receiver.

  • Page 5: Miniature Transmitters

    MINIATURE TRANSMITTERS The transmitters are sold in several configurations to allow simple mounting. Regardless of mounting type, all are the same. Each weighs approximately 1/2 ounce including the battery, which allows it to be used on the smallest of pets. A channel number is marked on the side of each unit and also on the transmitter under the battery.

  • Page 6: Securing The Transmitter On Your Cat

    SECURING THE TRANSMITTER ON YOUR CAT The standard cat transmitter is mounted on a break-away collar which is available in 7 different colors. The collar should be snug but not too tight. The collar can be used on the smallest kitten, but be aware that the break-away collar may not work if the cat is not heavy enough to snap it apart if the collar gets caught on something.

  • Page 7: Battery

    TRANSMITTER BATTERY The battery must be installed in the transmitter before use. The battery will power the transmitter for approximately 30 days. The transmitter uses a CR2032 Lithium coin cell battery available from us in a 12 pack. Batteries can also be purchased at retail stores that sell photo or hearing aid batteries.

    switch positions to the second CCW position and see if it can still be heard. If it can not, go back to LONG, reduce the volume so the meter indicates around half scale and turn around in order to find the strongest signal strength.

    the drawer in your hand, pop up the battery and replace it with a new alkaline battery. Be sure to note the proper battery polarity when placing the battery back in the drawer. If you force the battery in with reversed polarity, the receiver will not work but will not be damaged.

  • Page 12: Antenna

    ANTENNA The PR-100A is supplied with a high gain, directional antenna that attaches directly to the receiver. In order to find your pet’s direction, the antenna elements must be fully extended as shown below. You may change the polarity by rotating the receiver with your hand. The below photos show both vertical and horizontal polarization.
  • Page 13 To collapse the antenna elements, slide the Figure B numbered buttons shown in Figure B. Start with position 1 as you gently fold in the elements. Repeat for positions 2 through 4. When opening the antenna it does not matter which order the elements are unfolded.

  • Page 14: Using The Locator System To Find Your Pet

    USING THE LOCATOR SYSTEM TO FIND YOUR PET 1. As soon as you put a transmitter on you pet, make sure it is operating properly by listening to it with your receiver set to the proper channel. This will insure that the battery was properly installed and that the transmitter is functioning.
  • Page 15 6. When you hear the transmitter, note its direction, and head towards it. As the signal gets stronger, turn the RANGE SWITCH counter clockwise to the 2nd and 3rd positions. Raise or lower the VOLUME CONTROL to keep the meter indication around mid scale. 7.
