Charging Your Tracking Unit
Packaging Contents
CHARGING
Each LED light on the Base
Station represents approximately
25% battery charged on the
Tracking Unit.
We recommend charging for at least
30 minutes before your first use, as it
arrives with less than a full charge.
The charging pins on the
Tracking Unit should align to
the pins on the Base Station.

Each Tracking Unit will require its own
LINK AKC service plan. For multiple
Tracking Units, you will receive a 30%
discount on the service plan.
The Service Plan enables data to be
transmitted from your dog’s Tracking
Unit to a cellular network. This allows
you to know your dog’s location,
activity levels, and so much more, all
through your LINK AKC app.
