15sportdog.com/tEK 15sportdog.com/tEKGETTING STARTEDTO CAlIbRATE THE COMPASSIn 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 after you arrive at a new starting location, after periods of storage or after 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 center of the green zone. If successful, your handheld device will beep and vibrate, as well as, display a message that says your “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. 400-1360 TEK 1.0L Manual.indd 15 3/31/11 1:49 PM

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 used batteries accordingly.•Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (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 Center.•The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144. 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 32°F to 77°F (from 0° to 25°C).•Separate collection of spent batteries is required in many regions; check the regulations in your area before discarding spent batteries.400-1360 TEK 1.0L Manual.indd 19 3/31/11 1:49 PM

21sportdog.com/tEK 21sportdog.com/tEKGETTING STARTEDSTEP :: 04FIT THE GPS COllARIMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the GPS Collar is important for effective use. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. •Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.•When possible, reposition the collar on the dog’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.•When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the GPS Collar.•Wash the dog’s collar weekly with a damp cloth.4B4ATO ENSURE A PROPER FIT, FOllOW THESE STEPS:1. With your dog standing (4A), center the collar underneath your dog’s neck (4B). 4C2. The collar should ﬁt snugly, yet loose enough to allow one ﬁnger to ﬁt between the strap and your dog’s neck (4C).3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the ﬁt. Check the ﬁt again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the collar.Note: To ensure the best reception possible, make sure the GPS antenna is positioned on the back of your dog’s neck.400-1360 TEK 1.0L Manual.indd 21 3/31/11 1:49 PM

The User ID is a unique identiﬁer used by the Handheld Device and shared with the GPS Collar. The GPS-channel is the radio channel used for communication between the GPS Collar and the Handheld Device, while the E-Collar channel is the radio channel used for communication between the optional E-Collar module and the Handheld Device. The collar learns the User ID and GPS channel during the pairing process. The Handheld Device uses an ID value to distinguish it from other Handheld Devices. This ID is factory set and for most users will never need attention. The ID value can be viewed on either the STATUS or ABOUT screens.If the factory-set User ID on your Handheld Device conﬂicts with another Handheld Device or similar device, you should change the User ID to eliminate the conﬂict. Alternately, if two users want to have the ability to monitor the same dog(s) with each user operating his own Handheld Device, they can choose to set their User IDs to match.The only reason to change the GPS channel is if there is outside interference (other radios in the area) causing communications problems.TO CHANGE THE USER ID: NOTE: Changing User ID requires that the collar be paired again to the handheld (See STEP 3). 1. From the main menu, select SETTINGS > COMMUNICATION > USER ID. 2. Press the up or down arrows to select a user ID number from 0 – 100. NOTE: The User ID value is a number from 0 to 100 that is used to alter the actual ID value that the Handheld Device uses for communication. A value of 0 is used to revert back to the factory set ID. 3. Press the right arrow to conﬁrm your selection. 4. At the prompt, “ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?” select YES.5.
