Setup Guide
Thank you for your purchase of the Safer Pet tracker. You are a few moments away from being up and running, and never losing your pet again!
Before you start, you will need to make sure to buy a subscription via www.saferpet.com/pages/subscription so your tracker will work.
Step 1 – Charge your tracker. You will first need to open the rubber cover over the tracker charging port before you start.
Then insert the USB cable provided into the port on the side of the tracker to begin charging.
The button in the centre of the tracker will start flashing. The LED will stop flashing when it is fully charged, which may take up to two hours.
Step 2 - Turn it on by holding down the button in the centre (approx. 3 seconds) until you hear ascending chimes.
Step 3 - You need to download the Safer Pet app from Google Play or Apple Store.
Step 4 – Once downloaded, open the app and sign up. You need to register again as your website account does not automatically transfer to the app.
Step 5 - After you have signed up, the app will prompt you to scan the QR code on the back of the tracker to add it to your account, and then to add the name of your pet, and who you are.
Step 6 – Insert the tracker in the silicone case and then thread your pet’s collar through the loops of the silicone case
You’re done! As soon as you take you and your pet outside, click on Find Pet to see your pet’s location!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment améliorer l'autonomie de la batterie ?
Il existe trois modes de fréquence de suivi, que vous pouvez régler en allant dans " Settings ", " Tracking Frequency ", où vous aurez trois options : toutes les minutes, toutes les dix minutes (par défaut) ou toutes les heures. Pour une durée de vie maximale de la batterie, réglez l'intervalle sur une heure. Vous pouvez toujours localiser votre animal à tout moment en appuyant sur " Find Pet ".
Comment trouver ma position par rapport à mon animal ?
Pour trouver votre position par rapport à votre animal, appuyez sur l'icône qui ressemble à un téléphone portable.
Comment éteindre mon traceur ?
To turn off the tracker, you will need to go into ‘Settings’ and press ‘Shutdown the device.’ Please remember to turn it back on when you want to use the tracker again (step 2)

Troubleshooting
Pourquoi mon traceur indique-t-il une mauvaise localisation ?
Firstly, in your ‘Settings’ menu, turn ‘Set Local Base Station’, to off. The Local Base Station is your nearest mobile phone mast with the strongest signal, which could be miles away. This will stop the tracker automatically defaulting to it and so should improve accuracy.
Si vous êtes à l'intérieur, le traceur capte les signaux Wi-Fi les plus proches et se centre sur cette base, qui n'est pas toujours exacte à 100 %. Si votre animal apparaît à cet endroit, vous savez qu'il est à la maison. Vous pouvez toujours savoir quel signal le traceur a capté car l'icône de la bulle blanche sur la carte indique GPS, LBS ou Wi-fi.
