Battery Life
Mode Battery Life
Standby Up to 120 hours or 5 days

Battery life depends on several factors including temperature,
network, signal strength and Locator service features used.
Location requests include the following Zoombak Locator
service features: “Find Now,” “Safety Zones” mode and
“Continuous Tracking” mode. When your Zoombak Locator indicates
low battery (blinking amber LED), recharge your battery as dened in
the section of this User Guide titled “Charging the Battery.”

may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is

Powering the Dog Locator ON/OFF
In order to power the Zoombak Dog Locator on or off, follow these
simple instructions:
1. Power ON—Press and hold the Power Button until the Locator
Status LED Indicator begins to glow (approximately two
seconds). Blinking green indicates operation OK.
2. Power OFF—Press and hold the Power Button until the
Locator Status LED Indicator begins to ash quickly
(approximately two seconds). Locator Status LED Indicator
will shut OFF when the Locator has properly shut down. A key
feature of your Zoombak Dog Locator during the power off
process is that the Locator will determine its current location
and send a power off notication via email and/or mobile text
message with its current location and time/date information
(see the Zoombak Dog Locator Quick Start Guide for details on
setting up your alerts). The Locator Status LED Indicator will
continue to blink during the power off process, which may take up
to 2 minutes to complete this important notication feature.
Monitoring the Dog Locator Status
Refer to the following list in order to determine the status of your
Zoombak Dog Locator LED Indicator at any time.
BLINKING GREEN Indicates Power ON
BLINKING AMBER (YELLOW-ORANGE) Indicates Low Battery
GREEN Indicates Fully Charged (When Charging)
AMBER (YELLOW-ORANGE) Indicates Charging
NO COLOR Indicates Power OFF
or Battery Needs to Be Charged

Locator must be attached to your dog’s collar. The Zoombak Dog
Locator is not recommended for dogs under 7kgs. Follow these

Safety Information
Your Zoombak Dog Locator contains a Lithium Ion (LI) battery pack.
Leakage of ingredients contained within the battery pack or the

leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If liquid leaking from battery
pack comes in contact with your eyes, immediately ush your eyes
thoroughly with water and contact your doctor. In case of ingestion,
immediately contact your doctor and/or go to the emergency room.
If the battery leaks into your dog’s fur, immediately wash the affected
area with soap and water and wrap the area to prevent the dog from
licking the leakage from their fur. If liquid leaking from the battery
pack comes in contact with your dog’s eyes, immediately ush them

uid, DO NOT induce vomiting (as this can further damage your dog’s
GI tract).

Important Coverage Information
Our coverage maps provide high-level estimates of our coverage areas
when using your device outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage
isn’t available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal
strength is not an exact science.
There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that,
along with other factors (network problems, software, signal strength,
your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography,
topography, etc.), will result in dropped and blocked connections,
slower data speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of services.
Services that rely on location information depend on your device’s
ability to acquire satellite signals (often not available indoors) and
network coverage. Estimated future coverage subject to change.
See www.zoombak.co.uk for coverage map and details.
