2. How to check tracker status

Press and hold the power button. If the tracker is on, the light blinks twice to give connection info.

3. What the blinking lights mean

When you check the status, the tracker gives two blinks:

  • The first blink shows network status — a good network blink means your tracker can send information.
  • The second blink shows GPS status — a good GPS blink means your tracker can pick up location.

See the Light & Button Guide for the full list of light patterns.

4. How to put the tracker on your pet

5. How to charge your tracker

Attach the charger to the tracker. The light indicates charging, and shows when the device is fully charged. Charge the tracker fully before first use.

Next steps
