After pairing, take the GPS Collar outdoors to acquire a GPS signal. Once the signal is acquired, the GPS Collar icon will appear on the Map tab of the PATHFINDER app. Operating the PATHFINDER MINI near tall buildings and other steel structures will reduce the range of the GPS signal. Not acquiring a GPS signal for prolonged periods of time while outside may indicate issues with the unit. PATHFINDER MINI GPS Connector connects between your smartphone and PATHFINDER MINI GPS Collar. These devices need to be paired for the PATHFINDER MINI system to work properly. Bluetooth Max 33 Ft. MURS Band Max 4 Miles Smartphone GPS Connector

INDER Web Manual aat the Map Features Marker History Record, File, Detail Device List Options Device Sharing & Receiving Map Management: Offline & Custom Map Geo-fence App Setting CHANGING THE CONTACT POINT LENGTH The Dogtra PATHFINDER MINI comes equipped with standard 5/8 contact points that can be extended to 3/4 contact points, for use on dogs with longer coats. To increase the contact point length from 5/8 to 3/4, follow the steps below. 1) Using the included adjustment tool with the side marked 5/8, unscrew the contact points counter-clockwise. 2) Place the contact point extension over the exposed threads, flat side down. 3) Place the contact points over the extensions and tighten the contact points and extensions clockwise using the adjustment tool with the side marked 3/4. Caution!
Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over tighten. To shorten the contact points back to the standard 5/8, start with the adjustment tool with the side marked 3/4, remove the contact point extensions, and tighten the contact points with the adjustment tool with the side marked 5/8. From your computer, check out the manual at www.DogtraPATHFINDER.com for a full version of the PATHFINDER MINI manual, Q&A, and more. 16 17 COLLAR FITTING Proper Fit The collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dogs skin. You should be able to fit a finger in between the contact point and your dogs skin. The best location is on either side of the dogs windpipe. Improper Fit A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on the dogs neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the collar is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dogs skin. Attention!
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the dogs neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods, occasionally reposition the collar so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dogs neck. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit. Finding the Right Stimulation Open the PATHFINDER app to the E-Collar tab and select your dog and stimulation level. The stimulation levels are from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Always start at the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up. The appropriate level can be found when your dog responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles. Note: Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation. Please look at your dogs reaction to find the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may vary depending on the situation and distractions. A distracted dog will require a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no distraction. 18 19 REPLACING THE ANTENNA For the GPS Connector 1. Twist the antenna counter-clockwise to remove. 2. Place the new antenna on the bolt and turn clockwise to tighten the antenna. MAXIMIZING THE DISTANCE The PATHFINDER MINI has a 4-mile line of sight range. To get the greatest range, hold the GPS Connector away from your body and avoid touching the antenna. Keep your unit properly charged for maximum signal strength. The GPS Connector device must be near your phone for proper operation, preferably less than 33 feet. For the Collar Maximum range Typical range Minimum range ATTACHING THE BELT CLIP Open the antenna enclosure by removing the 3 screws and the contact points. Remove the screw holding the antenna in place to replace the antenna. Follow the instructions below to attach the included belt clip to the GPS Connector 1) Align the belt clip to the grooves on the back of the GPS Connector. 2) With a firm grip, screw on the belt clip's Phillips head screws with a screwdriver. Caution!
Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over tighten. 20 21 USING THE TEST LIGHT 1) Turn on the GPS Collar and place the test light over the contact points. 2) Press the Nick button in the PATHFINDER app and the test light will light up momentarily. 3) Press the Constant button in the PATHFINDER MINI app and the test light will light up as long as the button is pressed, for up to 12 seconds. 4) The test light will glow brighter at higher levels of stimulation and dimmer with lower levels.

Collar when in use. Carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage to the casing after use. Damaged or broken casing may affect the waterproof guarantee on the unit. The antenna must be securely in place for maximum range. Charge the unit for 2.5 hours before storing for extended periods. Charge the unit fully once a month while in storage or before use. Do not keep the unit exposed to extreme climates. Dogtra may include updates and improvements to the PATHFINDER MINI app which can be downloaded through the App Store and Google Play. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. Dog Does Not Respond to Stimulation
- Make sure the receiver/collar is turned on.
- Be sure the strap is on the dog tight enough so that both contact points are touching your dogs skin.
- The contact points may be too short for your dogs thick or long coat. To place an order for longer contact points, please contact Dogtra or a Dogtra dealer. If you are already using longer contact points, you may need to trim the hair on your dogs neck, so that both contact points are touching your dogs skin.
- The intensity level may be too low for your dog. Increase the stimulation until your dog responds, usually by a neck movement, head shaking, or looking over the shoulders. The response may be very subtle. 2. The LED indicator light comes on, but I do not feel any stimulation.
- Your tolerance may be higher than your dogs. We recommend placing both contact points on your inner wrist, where the sensitivity is higher, in order to test the unit.
- The battery may be low. Check the LED indicator lights or the app for battery life. 3. The PATHFINDER MINI has no range or the stimulation is weaker when my dog is farther away.
- Check to see if your fingers are touching the antenna as the range may decrease substantially.
- Keep objects away from touching the GPS Connector antenna as the range may decrease substantially.
- The range indicated is for line-of-sight flat terrain. Heavy brush, trees, hills, buildings, and/or moisture will affect the range of your unit. For the best range, hold the GPS Connector vertically above your head, and/or try moving to higher ground.
- Any electrical conductors will affect the range, such as cars, chain-link dog runs, metal structures, and radio towers. For the best results, operate away from these structures. 4. The GPS Connector/Collar is not holding a charge.
- The charging pin may be damaged. A metal pin inside the charging port should stand straight up and firm in the center. If the pin is wobbly, broken or missing, you will need to send the unit in for repair.
- The charging port must be clean prior to charging, clean out any dirt with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. If your dog was in salt-water, be sure to rinse the GPS Collar and charging port with clean water.
- For Dogtra units over two years old from the purchase date, the batteries may need to be replaced. You can replace them yourself by contacting Dogtra for a replacement battery. Damages incurred to the unit due to improper battery installations are not covered under the warranty. Dogtra strongly recommends sending the unit in for inspection and repair. 30 31 5. My dog has skin irritation.
- This may be due to an improper fit or from wearing the collar too long. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian. Once your dogs skin returns to a normal condition, continue to use the collar and check your dogs neck each time you use the unit. FCC WARNING The PATHFINDER MINI complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
