Powering up the RoamEO
Collar and Receiver
Registering the RoamEO
Collar to the Receiver
Locating your Dog with the Display
Turn on your Receiver
by pressing the Top
button on the left side.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE***
Procedure 2 and 3 are
performed at the factory
and is only necessary by
the user when registering
a new or additional collar.
Press and hold the
Middle Button until the
number 1 circle is
blinking on the display.
Press and hold the
Middle Button again
until both the number 1
Circle is blinking AND
the Paw outline is
blinking.
The RoamEO Collar
and hand-held Receiver
unit are powered by
rechargeable, remov-
able Lithium-Ion (li-ion)
batteries. After
purchase, please place
the Li-ion batteries in
the RoamEO Battery
Charger for two hours
to fully charge the
batteries. Align the
arrow on the Battery as
shown in the Battery
Charger cradle. When
fully charged, the
Battery Charger will
display a green LED
(red LED while charging).
The batteries are
interchangeable
between the RoamEO
Collar and the Receiver.
To insert a RoamEO
Battery into the
RoamEO Collar,
unlatch the Collar
battery compartment
and remove the
battery cover. Place
the battery with the
arrow on the battery
face as shown.
Now turn on the
RoamEO Collar by
clipping the collar
ends together; the
RoamEO Collar
and Receiver
will automatically
establish contact.
To register a
second collar, follow
the same procedure
until the number 2
circle is blinking on
the display, and clip
the second collar
ends together.
Once your RoamEO
Collars have estab-
lished contact, you
now should take your
RoamEO Collar and
Receiver outside to
obtain a GPS lock.
A series of dots
will strobe on the
Display S creen until
the Receiver obtains
a GPS lock.
The display screen
has 8 directional
segments to point like
a compass in the
direction of your dog.
To locate your dog using
the Receiver, look at the
Display Screen and see
which Directional Segment
is highlighted. Turn the
Receiver until the Directional
Segment on the top of the
Display Screen begins to
strobe; that is the bearing
and direction to your dog.
The Range Readout will
tell you the distance. Move
toward your dog, changing
directions if different
Directional Segments light
up. If you are closer than
the GPS accuracy of the
unit (within 20 feet, or that
day’s GPS accuracy of the
satellite constellation), all
of the Directional Segments
are highlighted. And the
word NEAR will appear.
THANK YOU for purchasing the RoamEOTM Pet Monitor System. The
RoamEOTM system consists of the hand-held receiver, the RoamEOTM
GPS/Radio collar, and a battery charger for use with both receiver and
collar. The RoamEOTM system works by having the RoamEOTM GPS
Collar obtain a fix from several GPS satellites in orbit, and transmitting
those coordinates via radio to the display unit, which will provide a
bearing/direction to your dog and a range/distance to your pet.

The Receiver normally uses it’s own unique input from GPS satellites to
compare the location of the RoamEO Collar on your dog, and its own
GPS location. However, if you want to have the Receiver remember a
location such as a house, vehicle, or campsite, use this procedure to
store that location and RoamEO will guide you to it.
