Battery Life
Mode Battery Life
Standby Up to 120 hours or 5 days
Active Locator Service Up to 150 Location Requests
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.”
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and
may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is
not user replaceable; it can only be replaced by an authorized
service provider. For more information, go to: www.zoombak.co.uk.

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
