HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The SportDOG Brand™TEK SERIES GPS Tracking System has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for all dogs
over 3.6 kg. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to track your dog from up to 11 km. The Handheld
Device receives your location from its built-in GPS antenna and receives location updates from the antenna mounted on
the GPS Collar to track the location of your dog.
IMPORTANT: THE TEK SERIES GPS TRACKING SYSTEM HAS A RANGE OF UP
TO 11 KM. DEPENDING ON THE WAY YOU HOLD THE HANDHELD DEVICE,
THE MAXIMUM RANGE MAY VARY. FOR CONSISTENT RESULTS AT LONGER
RANGES, HOLD THE HANDHELD DEVICE IN A VERTICAL POSITION AWAY FROM
YOUR BODY AND ABOVE YOUR HEAD. TERRAIN, WEATHER, VEGETATION,
TRANSMISSIONS FROM OTHER RADIO DEVICES, AND OTHER FACTORS WILL
AFFECT THE MAXIMUM RANGE.
Note: Prior to first use, attach the included antenna to the Handheld Device.

TO CALIBRATE THE COMPASS
In order for the TEK SERIES Handheld Device to accurately display your location, you must first calibrate the electronic
compass. You should always calibrate the compass aer you arrive at a new starting location, aer periods of storage
or aer you install new batteries.
Note: Always calibrate the compass outdoors. Hold the compass level and away from objects that may generate magnetic
fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines.
1. From the main menu, select COMPASS > CALIBRATE. The COMPASS screen appears.
2. Rotate the Handheld Device 2-3 times in all three dimensions as shown below. Rotate until the black indicators are
as close as possible to the centre of the green zone. If successful, your Handheld Device will beep and vibrate as
well as display a message that says “CALIBRATION DATA HAS BEEN UPDATED SUCCESSFULLY”.
Note: If you are unable to get the compass to automatically update your calibration data, follow the remaining steps.
3. Rotate until the black indicators are as close as possible to the green zone and press the Menu Selection Pad
to continue.
4. At the prompt “DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE NEW CALIBRATION DATA?” press the arrow keys to select YES.
5. Press BACK to return to the main menu.
TO SET THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION ANGLE:
Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points) and
true north. The declination is positive when the magnetic north is east of true north and negative when the magnetic
north is west of true north.
To find your exact declination angle, you can use a web resource like www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp.
This is a United States government website available in English. Enter the web address into a web translator tool to
view the website in your language.
Note: Incorrect magnetic declination will result in inaccurate compass readings.
1. From the main menu, select SETTINGS > GENERAL > MAG DEC ANGLE.
2. Press the up or down arrows on the Menu Selection Pad to select the amount of declination. Magnetic declination
ranges from -70 to 70. The default is 0.
3. Press the right arrow when finished.
4. Press BACK to return to the main menu.

ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• The Handheld Device and GPS Collar contain Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform,
short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if
this warning is not followed.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of spent batteries according to the regulations
in your area.
• Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (38°C +/100°F +).
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before charging,
and cannot be over charged.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done once
every 3 to 4 months. Failure to do so will result in decreased battery life.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity
over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to
half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Centre.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, call our Customer Care
Centre. Please do not open the Handheld Device or GPS Collar.
• When storing the device for an extended time, store within the following temperature range: from 0° to 25°C (from
32°F to 77°F).
• Separate collection of spent batteries is required in many regions; check the regulations in your area before
discarding spent batteries.
