Tri-Tronics Tracer™ E-Collar Light - Manual (Page 2)

Using the Tracer TM With Your System
1. Make sure the receiver is charged and is switched on
using the receiver on/off button.
2. The Tracer is switched on or off with your transmitter
and is activated separately from the receiver. You must
remember to switch the Tracer TM off when you are
through using it or it will drain the receiver battery.
3. To use the Tracer
TM and your Classic 70, Trashbreaker,
Field 90, Flyway, PRO 100, 200, or 500:
a. Set the intensity dial to the “A” position.
b. Hold the transmitter at least two feet away from
the receiver. The Tracer TM can be activated at any
distance up to the range of your remote trainer.
c. Press any stimulation button or the tone button if
your model has one. The Tracer TM will light up in
the blinking mode.
d. Press a button again and the Tracer
TM will change
to a steady light.
e. Press a button again and the Tracer
TM will go off.
4. To use the Tracer TM and your Upland Special or Sport
Upland:
a. Set the intensity dial to any position other than “N.”
b. Hold the transmitter at least two feet from the
receiver. The Tracer TM can be activated at any
distance up to the range of your remote trainer.
c. Press the Beeper button. The Tracer
TM will light up
in the blinking mode.
d. Press the button again and the Tracer TM will change
to a steady light.
e. Press the button again and the Tracer
TM will go off.
Note: If a receiver containing a Tracer TM is installed on a collar that also has
a Beeper then the transmitter beeper button will simultaneously change the
setting of both the Tracer TM and the Beeper each time the beeper button is
pressed.
5. To use the Tracer TM and your Sport Basic or Sport Combo:
Note: You can use a stimulation button or the Tone/Buzz button to turn the
Tracer TM on and off. We highly recommend that you make it a habit to use only
the Tone/Buzz button to prevent accidentally stimulating a dog. Or you could
set the Intensity Dial to its lowest level (1/2) when switching the Tracer TM on
and off and then move it back to your normal training level. However, if your
dog is very sensitive, neither of the above methods is recommended when
using the Sport Basic or Sport Combo. Instead, you should turn your Tracer TM
on and off only when the receiver is not being worn by the dog.
If using a Sport Combo set the Mode dial to the down position (“TCM”) so that
your top button will be “tone.”
a. Hold the transmitter within one inch of the front of
receiver. This is the side that contains the green
receiver function light and is opposite the side that
contains the receiver charging contacts. (The
Tracer TM cannot be controlled from a distance with
the Sport Basic or Sport Combo.)
b. Press the top (Tone) button on the transmitter and the
Tracer TM will light up in the blinking mode.
c. Press the button again and the Tracer TM will change
to a steady light.
d. Press the button again and the Tracer
TM will go off.
Return your Sport Combo to the mode you normally use
for training.
Troubleshooting
6. If the Tracer
TM light does not light up when you switch
it on:
a. Make sure your receiver and transmitter are fully
charged.
b. Make sure your receiver and transmitter are married
together.
c. Make sure your receiver is switched on.
d. Make sure your transmitter is not set on “N.”
e. Re-install the Tracer
TM following the instructions
above.
Visibility, Timing, and Battery Details
7. The Tracer TM is visible at night up to 1/2 mile away.
8. In blinking mode the lights make two rapid flashes
approximately every 3 seconds.
9. The Tracer
TM takes power from the rechargeable receiver
battery. In blinking mode the battery life will be reduced
slightly (approximately 10%). The reduction is greater
in the steady mode (approximately 50%). Tri-Tronics
recommends using the blinking mode whenever possible
to extend the receiver battery life.
