ENGLISH
Please read this Operating Manual carefully before using the product.
Do not leave the neck collar transmitter on a dog for more than 12 hours a day.
Long-term effects caused by the collar and contact points on the dog's skin may
cause irritation. If this occurs, do not use DOG GPS until all traces of irritation
disappear.
Do not place the receiver or the transmitter near objects sensitive to magnetic
field, as this may cause permanent damage.
Do not place the receiver near any device, which is generating magnetic field as it
may affect the internal digital compass.
The receiver and the transmitter include a rechargeable Li-Pol battery. If the DOG
GPS is not used for long time, its batteries must be recharged every 12 months.
Do not charge the batteries at temperatures above 40 °C – explosion hazard.
Protect the Li-Pol battery from damage by sharp objects, high mechanical pressure
or high temperatures as it could cause the battery bursting into flames or explode.
Use only the original batteries; different batteries may damage the product or
cause the batteries to explode.
Use only the original power adapter with charging clip for charging the receiver
and transmitter batteries.
Dispose of used batteries in designated locations.
Person fitted with cardiac pacemaker (pacemaker, defibrillator) must take
appropriate precautions as the DOG GPS emits specific static magnetic field.
Some mobile phones have modified operating system Android and cannot be
paired with DOG GPS X30 devices. It is not a defect of the DOG GPS X30 product.
Try to pair it with a different mobile phone or tablet.
VNT electronics s.r.o., manufacturer of Dogtrace professional
training tools for dogs, is the proud and active member of the

4 INTRODUCTION
DOG GPS X30 is a device for tracking (locating) your dogs for up to 20 km. It consists
of the transmitter located on the dog’s collar and the receiver (handset) on which
the dog handler tracks the distance and direction towards the dog’s location. The
transmitter gets its position from the GPS satellites, which send the position data to
the dog handler’s receiver via the radio frequency (RF) signal. The transmitter may
include training module (X30T set), which enables the stimulation pulse to be sent
from the receiver for up to 20 km.
The receiver may be connected to a mobile phone or tablet (using the Android
operating system) via wireless communication and all paired devices may be viewed
using the Dogtrace GPS application on the map.
The DOG GPS X30 also has additional features – compass, FENCE – acoustic boundary,
which provides information that the dog moved beyond the set distance from the
receiver. It also has the BEEPER feature, which simply enables to determine whether
the dog is moving or standing still. The receiver facilitates saving its current position
and then navigating to that position (waypoint feature).
4.1 DOG GPS X30 features
Range between the transmitter and the receiver is up to 20 km in direct visibility
(depending on terrain, vegetation and other factors)
Tracking up to 13 dogs, hunters or waypoints
Highly sensitive GPS in the receiver and transmitter
Clearly legible receiver display – in direct sunlight and in the dark
Waterproof receiver and transmitter
Long battery life
2 acoustic signal modes – training / localization
15 stimulation pulse levels (GPS X30T only)
Light mode for identifying dog in the dark (GPS X30T only)
Switching channels for communication between the transmitter and receiver
Compass feature
FENCE – acoustic boundary to set the area for the dog
BEEPER – detection of dog in motion/standing still
Waypoint – option to store 13 GPS receiver coordinates – navigation to these
points
CAR mode – mode for using the receiver (handset) in the vehicle
The receiver is compatible with transmitters (collars) X20 / X20+ (some functions
are limited)
ECMA is convinced that electronic training collars, whilst responsibly used and in
combination with reward and praise, are eectual and humane training aids for
professional dog training, training of dogs with problematic behaviour, but also for
everyday home use.
