KEEP IN MIND
1.
The PeTrack can be worn by your pet at all times. That said, the PeTrack is waterproof
and dirt
proof however it should not be submerged for long periods of time. Remember
to close/seal
the charging port with its rubber door and use the mini screw plugs
provided.
2.
Charge the device as soon as you receive a low battery notification. Also please
remember to always power cycle (turn off then on) the PeTrack after disconnecting from
your
charger. If you do not intend to use it at the moment, power it off.
3.
The PeTrack must not be located or operating in conjunction with any other collar
antenna or transmitter. This will cause interference with the PeTrack. More than one
PeTrack
is fine.
4.
The PeTrack is designed for the outdoors, it cannot be used indoors or your GPS tracking
results
will be poor.

Important Note: Please see Page 5 for the correct GSM SIM Card size.
GETTING STARTED
LOCATE/BUY PREPAID GSM SIM CARD
1.
You will need a simple Prepaid GSM SIM Card (Standard Size, see Page 5 for correct
size. SIM
Cards by default come in multiple sizes, its important you use the largest size
card they offer.)
You can get a prepaid or pay-as-you-go SIM card from T-Mobile local stores and its resellers. You
can also go to the link below.
https://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/pay-as-you-go
To check for T-Mobile network coverage: http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage-map.html
You could also get prepaid SIM card from the following alternative providers:
USMobile

2.
The PeTrack is like a sophisticated cellular phone, you will now need a SIM card / cellular
provider
for this device in order for it to notify you of its whereabouts at any given time.
This allows your
PeTrack to send you text messages of its location.
3.
Fortunately the use of GPS satellites is free, but the use of GSM cellular phone towers
is not.
However the GSM cost is negligible considering the PeTrack only requires text
messages to
inform you of its location. (Only a Basic Talk and Text plan is required)
4.
If you’re not sure what provider to use or where to locate a Prepaid GSM SIM Card,
contact
the vendor you purchased your PeTrack from and they can quickly locate an
economical
GSM carrier for your area.
ACTIVATE AND LOAD YOUR SIM CARD WITH FUNDS
1.
Once you have a SIM Card handy, ensure you’ve activated it through the SIM Card’s
carrier’s
website. Alternatively you can call them to activate it. They may ask you if you
want to buy a
phone or what phone it is for, etc… You simply tell them you would like to activate and fund your
SIM card; you do not need any other hardware.
2.
Reload/Recharge/Fund/Put Money On to the SIM CARD. There are various names for
this;
however they all have the same meaning, after activation you will need to put
funds on
your new SIM card in order for it to work. Depending on the plan you selected,
the cost will vary
but most are very economical. Only select a plan according to what
you believe your needs
will be. We recommend a simple low cost Pay As You Go plan, so
this way you’re not paying for a
subscription.
INSTALLING SIM CARD
Please first make sure that the GSM SIM card you are using is already activated, has a phone
number
from the cellular carrier, and funding is loaded on the SIM card, so it’s ready to use.
This device only
works with a specific size SIM card. The correct size to use is a Full Size /
Standard SIM Card, not a
micro-SIM or nano-SIM size (see example on next page).

5
Steps to Install the SIM Card:
1.
Loosen 4 screws with the screw driver included.
2.
Remove the back cover and insert the SIM card into the slide slot with the gold-plated
contacts facing downwards.
3.
Put the cover back with the USB side and gently and evenly tighten 4 screws back in.
4.
Insert the 4 waterproof plugs over the screws.
CHARGING and CLIP ASSEMBLY
Charging
Connect the PeTrack to the AC Adapter via the USB
cable. For the first two charges, charge overnight
to
help condition the battery.
REMEMBER: Once the PeTrack is fully charged you will see the Red LED turn off. Once
disconnected from the charging cable, power cycle before using the PeTrack.
Clip Assembly
Put the collar included (or your own) through the
clip.
BUCKLE LOCKING CLIP
Assemble the PeTrack and the clip according to the arrow mark on both sides. Turn
counterclockwise to lock it (VERY IMPORTANT). Please refer to the images on the next page.

RUBBER SUPPORT BANDS
If your pet is commonly active or just likes to scratch or rub his collar. We highly recommend
using
the support bands for as an extra precaution to prevent the PeTrack from
twisting/unlocking and
falling off.
TURN ON/OFF
On the back of the PeTrack are 3 LED’s you will not see them as they’re covered by the
waterproof casing. Pay close attention to the back of the unit to help identify their location and
the
PeTrack’s state. The Power button is located on the side of the unit, opposite to the
charging
port. Please remember to watch the YouTube video in the example below.
ON – Press and hold the power for 5 seconds. Three LED lights will all flash at the same time,
for a split
second. The PeTrack is now ON and will continue to blink slowly every 15-30 seconds.
OFF – Press and hold the power for 10 seconds. Three LED lights will blink in sequential order.
It is now
powered OFF.
Here is a YouTube example of this:

REMEMBER: Your PeTrack will fall asleep automatically after sitting still for more than 3
minutes,
if you’re trying to setup your APN, or call it, or text it, or just getting it to respond, you
need to either
physically shake the unit every minute while you’re outside or it needs to be attached to an active pet
which is outside. Otherwise you’ll have no response, as it’s completely
dependent on motion detection to
conserve its battery power.
LOW POWER SETTING
When the device is in low power, it will send an SMS alert to the notification phone number you
configure on the PeTrack (not the PeTrack’s / SIM Card number, but your personal mobile phone
number).
To set this alert, please follow the steps below.
Send the following Text message to your PeTrack:
515#0000#15554443333
In place of 1 put your country code if outside the United States, then the mobile phone
number
of the phone you want the alert sent to.
(Country Code + Area Code + 7 Digit Number)
REMEMBER: Your PeTrack will fall asleep automatically after sitting still for more than 3
minutes,
if you’re trying to setup your APN, or call it, or text it, or just getting it to respond, you
need to either
physically shake the unit every minute while you’re outside or it needs to be
attached to an active
pet which is outside. Otherwise you’ll have no response, as it’s completely
dependent on motion
detection to conserve its battery power.
ON-DEMAND TRACKING
The following is an explanation on how to use your PeTrack without having to download
anything, such as a mobile App. A major benefit to using this method of tracking alone (without
a mobile
app) is that the battery will last longer per charge. Also note this method of tracking
only requires

TALK\TEXT for your PeTrack’s SIM card.
1)
From your personal cellular phone, call your PeTrack (this number would be the new
number for your new SIM card) and allow it to ring until it hits either “The User’s
Voicemail is not yet setup” or your Voicemail, then hang up.
2)
You will receive a text message within a minute or two. You will get one of the two
responses:
Response 1: When GPS reception is good. This is an accurate update.

2.
I have tried tracking the PeTrack but I’m not getting any response from the
device. Why?
Make sure that the device is not standby mode when you are tracking it. If the device is
in standby
mode you won’t be able to track it. PeTrack automatically goes to standby
mode when it is kept
still for 3 minutes. If this happens, just slightly touch the device to
wake it up.
3.
Why did I not receive the low battery alert message when my PeTrack was
low in battery?
The low battery alert of PeTrack is not automatically activated when you use the device.
You will
need to activate it manually before using the device. After you have fully
charged the device
and have inserted the SIM card you can go ahead and activate this
alert. You may follow the steps
below:
Send the following Text message to your PeTrack:
515#0000#15554443333
In place of 1 put your country code if outside the United States, then the mobile phone
number of
the phone you want the alert sent to.
(Country Code + Area Code + 7 Digit Number)
4.
What to do if i-Server App won’t let me add a device?
Make sure that the APN (Access Point Name) has been configured on the SIM card
inserted in
PeTrack and double check with the SIM card provider for the correct APN if
you are not sure. Data
plan should also be activated.
You can refer to Page 11 for the steps on how to setup the APN (Access Point Name).
5.
What to do if i-Server App reads: “Failed to Create New Device, please check
IMEI is correct”?
If you have not setup the APN (Access Point Name) of the SIM card inserted in the
PeTrack
please refer to Page 11 for the steps. If you have already set it up and still
can’t add the IMEI of
PeTrack, double check with the SIM card provider for the correct
APN or alternative APN. And,
make sure also that data plan is activated for that SIM
card.
6.
Why the i-Server does not work?
The i-Server will not work if the APN of the inserted SIM card in PeTrack has not been
setup.
Make sure that you setup the APN (follow the steps on Page 11 ) before using i-
Server. If you

are not sure of the APN of the SIM card, consult the SIM card provider.
Also, double check if
data plan has been activated for the SIM card.
7.
My PeTrack’s GPS location seems off and hasn’t updated in a while but my pet
is moving
around often.
a.
Is the battery dead?
b.
Is there money on the SIM card?
c.
Is your pet outside? (if indoors GPS and GSM reception will be limited)
d.
Is it powered on? (you might think its ON, but it’s actually been OFF)
e.
If above points are covered, then try and Text command: 703#0000 to
refresh
your PeTracks GPS module, and help it locate a new array of satellites
in the area.
REMEMBER: Your PeTrack will fall asleep automatically after sitting still for more than 3
minutes,
if you’re trying to setup your APN, or call it, or text it, or just getting it to respond, you
need to either
physically shake the unit every minute while you’re outside or it needs to be
attached to an active
pet which is outside. Otherwise you’ll have no response, as it’s completely
dependent on motion
detection to conserve its battery power.
