Battery Care and Run Times
 The XTN tracking nock is always powered on - it is
not possible, or necessary, to ever turn it off.
 When removed from the charger the XTN
automatically enters low-power standby mode.
 In standby mode, the XTN is ready to sense being
fired and start transmitting digital packets to the
Tracker.
 The XTN can stay in standby mode for up to 1 year
on a fully charged battery, although it is a good idea
to check the battery’s charge status before each use.
 To check the battery status of the XTN, plug it into
the charging adapter and pull it out. The number of
LED flashes indicates the charge level of the battery:
4 Flashes - 74% or higher
3 Flashes - 50% to 73%
2 Flashes - 19% to 49%
1 Flash - 18% or Lower

Fitting the XTN Tracking Nocks to Your Arrows / Bolts
 Install proper bushing(s) onto XTN shaft to snuggly fit into arrow/bolt.
 CAUTION: See manual & seek expert advice for proper setup
before using; arrow rest, bow riser, and cables clearance is required!
 The batteries in the Bloodhound
Tracker and XTN Tracking Nock may
be recharged, or “topped off”, whenever
desired without damaging the batteries.
 Charging may be done using the
supplied AC adapter or with a USB
outlet in a vehicle, a USB battery pack
or any other USB source with 1 amp or
more capacity.
 The XTN will stay in standby for a year
or can be tracked for 18 hours.
 The Tracker can scan or track
continuously for 24 hours on a charge.
 If the Tracker is left on for an extended
period of time it will turn off to protect
the battery and must be connected to the
charger to be switched on again.
 If the XTN is left in transmit mode for
an extended time it will switch off
transmit mode and revert to storage
mode until placed into the charging
adapter. When in storage mode it cannot

 Always hold the Tracker in front of you, waist high
and level to the ground (display facing upwards).
 Begin the search using the techniques that you normally
use (i.e. observing the direction of the game, following the
blood trail, etc.)
 Use the signal strength indication (higher numbers =
closer) and directional arrow to lead you to the XTN.
 If no directional arrow is shown then use the following
techniques:
 If possible, move to a clear, unobstructed area away from
buildings, automobiles, hills, etc., higher ground is better.
 Turn to face different directions with the handle of the
tracker held close to your body.
 Once an arrow is shown, always point the Tracker in the
direction of the XTN while moving, not away from it.
 If the arrow is lost or jumps in direction continue on in the
last known direction.
 If no arrow is displayed, use the signal strength indication
in a “warmer/colder” fashion until the direction is shown.
 The cursor will move to
each XTN type 1-6 and start
back at number 1 again.
 As the scan progresses, each
XTN number found will be
shown on the display.
 If more than one XTN is
found to be within range
then an will be shown
next to the one with the
highest signal level.
