Battery Information
WARNING
This product contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent the
possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by
battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct
sunlight.
Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.
CAUTION
Contact your local waste disposal department to properly
recycle the batteries.
Long-Term Storage
NOTICE
The normal long-term decrease in the charging capacity of
lithium-ion batteries can be accelerated by exposure to elevated
temperatures. Storing a fully charged device in a location with a
temperature outside the long-term storage temperature range
can significantly reduce its recharging capacity. See page 15.
When you do not plan to use the handheld device for several
months, the battery should be removed. Stored data is not lost
when the battery is removed.
When you do not plan to use the collar for several months, the
battery should be charged to about 50%. The device should be
stored in a cool, dry place with temperatures are around the
typical household level. After storage, the collar should be fully
recharged before use.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the batteries in
the handheld device and collar.
• Reduce the backlight brightness (page 15).
• Reduce the backlight timeout (page 16).
• Select a longer duration for your handheld update rate
(page 16).
• Turn off the transmitter (page 16).
• Use battery save mode (page 16)
• Decrease the map drawing speed (page 16).
• Put the dog collar device into rescue mode (page 9) to
conserve the collar battery.
• Extend the duration for the collar update rate (page 16) to
conserve the collar battery.
Adjusting the Backlight Brightness
Extensive use of screen backlighting can significantly reduce
battery life. You can adjust the backlight brightness to maximize
the battery life.
NOTE: The backlight brightness may be limited when the
battery is low.
