SET UP THE COLLAR

INSERT THE SIM CARD AND CONNECT THE BATTERY POWER CABLE INSIDE THE UNIT SIM / BATTERY / CHARGING

1. Loosen both cover screws with the supplied screwdriver. Be careful not to lose the small mounting screws

2. Insert the operator SIM card as shown above picture. HINT: To prevent the effects of any vibrations or bumps in the
   terrain, insert a small piece of clear tape into backside of the SIM card to secure it in place against hard vibrations
   NOTE! If you use a so-called “Pre-Paid” SIM card, be sure to activate it, for example, with your mobile phone (test call)
   and always turn off the PIN code of the SIM card before inserting it
   NOTE! Slow speed 2G data subscriptions work fine with the collar. Geolocation is default at 15-second intervals via a
   GPRS connection
   NOTE! For example, the device alerts you when the battery is low (less than 20%) as a text message, so it is a good
   idea to have text message functions supported on the SIM when used with collar

The IMEI code is displayed on the product package label and on the GSM module inside the housing. You can also request the IMEI code by using a text message. Master user 1 sends the following text message to the collar:
FACID,123456,QUERY,STATUS;
The collar responds after a successful IMEI code query as a text message to the Master user to 1 number with the information:
FACID query OK! IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Add collar information to NITEforce Live Map APP. Master user 1 add collar name, phone number in the format +358xxxxxxxx and sets standard password: a123456 You can also change the color of the “dog icon” if you want. After downloading and entering the required information into the NITEforce Live Map software APP, call your own collar number on your mobile phone. The collar alarms once, after that you hear busy tone – end the call. Now the “Dog Icon” will appear in the NITEforce Live Map APP map view. Your own location dot will appear in Blue.
NOTE: You will also receive information about the location of the collar via SMS, if you make a call to collar.
NOTE: If you are inside indoors with your own phone, your own location may appear as a Red “network location”. That is not as accurate as the Blue GPS location (approx. 5m accuracy). Your mobile phone’s online positioning is based on cross-scanning your operator’s masts, which can mis-represent your own location for up to several hundred meters. Go outdoors to have your own phone GPS satellite and show your own location in more detail using GPS (Blue).

Now your GPS Dog collar and the Live Map APP are ready to use
