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

Estimated Battery operation hours
At location point intervals of 15 seconds, the device can provide location information continuously for up to 12 hours at optimum temperatures (+ 5°C to
- 25°C). If necessary, the update interval can be extended with the NITEforce Live Map APP, if the dog stays in the field overnight and it is needed to save the battery power consumption
ADD USER(s)
Adding a user to your collar takes place via a text message, sending it from the master user’s mobile phone to the collar’s phone number. You can add one or more users at a time. Master user 1 can change settings using the APP. Users 2-5 can only call the collar number and it will respond with the current location message.

TAKE COLLAR OUTSIDE
Now you can then take the collar outside, or to an open area next to the window. You will see when the LED light flashes quickly about 2 times per second so then you know collar is active. NOTE: If collar is not moved in 2 minutes, it will go automatically to sleep mode. It will wake up when moved again.
DOWNLOAD THE NITEforce LIVE MAP Android APP from the GOOLE Play STORE
Master 1 user downloads the NITEforce Live Map Android APP from the Google Play Store. Use search word “NITEforce Live Map”. Register / log in as a new user by entering your own email and creating a password
NOTE: If the collar location is followed by more than one user, you can
share the same login user name and passwordwith your group. Then all are able
to observe the same dog / collar location with own mobile phones.
After logging in to the APP, add a collar from “MANAGE DEVICES” by adding a
collar using your own collar IMEI code. 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
