Adding your Pet and Activating your Pet Tracker
It’s important to make sure the battery is fully charged before inserting the battery onto the Pet Tracker. For instructions please see earlier sections. Also make sure that Bluetooth is turned on for your smartphone.
Before you add the Pet Tracker
Before you start the “Add Pet Tracker” process you will need to make sure you have the access code and your Pet Tracker phone number available. Each Pet Tracker will have its own access code. If you do not have both these items, you will not be able to add your Pet Tracker.
To add select the “My Pet Trackers” menu and press the “+” sign to add your Pet Tracker. Once you press the “+” sign follow the steps on the app. You should make sure your Pet Tracker is powered on and near your smartphone. During the add process, the Pintrac™ app will start scanning for your new Pet Tracker. This process may take several minutes. Once the Pet Tracker is discovered you will need to enter the access code and your Pet Tracker phone number. After you update your pet profile you will need to reboot your Pet Tracker so your new Pet Tracker can be associated with your account.
Pet profile
During the Pet Tracker setup you will be able to choose from a list of Pet ICONs or take a photo of your pet. You can also change your pet ICON or take a photo later in the Pet Tracker information menu.
Deleting a Pet Tracker
If you wish to delete a Pet Tracker you can perform this function while in the pet profile menu. Choose “Delete this Pet Tracker” from the bottom button.
Understanding Safe Zones
A Safe Zone is a virtual perimeter where your pet resides. The Safe Zone is determined by the coverage of your Wi-Fi network signal available at the home of your pet. The greater the Wi-Fi network coverage the better Safe Zone functionality. This product is only searching for the existence of your Wi-Fi SSID. Therefore, your Wi-Fi extender, TV, Printer, or neighbor’s Wi-Fi SSID could be your extension of Safe Zone. You can create 1 safe zone with multiple SSIDs/networks or multiple safe zones in different locations. When the Pet Tracker senses significant movement, it will scan for the presence of the Safe Zone Wi-Fi SSID every 1 min. If the Safe Zone is not detected, you will be notified by an alert that your pet has left the Safe Zone. While your Pet Tracker is idle, and your pet is not moving, the Pet Tracker will be asleep. However, when the Pet Tracker detects motion again it will start to scan for the presence of the Safe Zone. If movement stops again the Pet Tracker will return to sleep mode.
NOTE: Setting up a Safe Zone is critical to getting the best performance out of your Pet Tracker. Not doing so can greatly reduce your battery life.
Safe Zone Colors
There are 4 different colors available for your Pet Tracker to quickly show you the status of your Pet. You can refer to the tutorial for more details.
Red – Pet is outside the Safe Zone.
Green – Pet is inside the Safe Zone.
Orange – This is a warning color that a Safe Zone has not yet been setup.
Grey – The Pet Tracker is offline
Inside of Safe Zone
When you first power on your Pet Tracker you should receive a power on alert followed by an inside Safe Zone alert. This assumes you have already created a Safe Zone. If your Pet has left the Safe Zone and returns to the Safe Zone the Pet Tracker will send an Inside Safe Zone alert to the Pintrac™ App.
Outside of Safe Zone
If the Pet Tracker scans for the configured Safe Zone and it is not found it will send an Out of safe Zone alert to the Pintrac™ App. Out of Safe Zone Alerts typically come within 1-2 minutes of your pet leaving the Safe Zone. When the Pet Tracker is outside of the Safe Zone you can also perform Locate Now and Live Tracking features. If you do not choose Locate Now or Live Tracking the location history will not show any updates when the pet was outside of the Safe Zone. Tracking location is on demand only.
Setting up your Safe Zone
- Your Pet Tracker can support multiple Safe Zones up to 10.
- Make sure the Pet Tracker is inside the signal coverage of your home Wi-Fi network when setting up the Safe Zone.
- To setup a Safe Zone, select the Pet profile menu and choose Safe Zone and follow the prompts.
- If the pet leaves the Safe Zone and your home Wi-Fi network is no longer detected the Pet Tracker will connect to the LTE network and send the Pintrac™ app an out of Safe Zone alert. An alert should be received within 1-2 minutes of the pet leaving the Safe Zone. When the pet returns to the Safe Zone an inside Safe Zone alert will be sent to the Pintrac™ App

If your pet leaves the safe zone and you do not choose to perform Locate Now or Live tracking the location history will not show location updates.
Weekly Activity
Your Pet Tracker uses a special algorithm similar to a pedometer to understand pet movements. Those movements are converted into digital measurements when attached to your pet. It is important to note that your pets step count may vary based on size, height and weight. Step counts are only reported under specific conditions. In general step counts are not real time. The step count is only updated to the server/app when the following conditions occur.
- If the battery level drops from 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, etc.
- If the pet goes out of the safe zone or an alert is triggered.
- If Live tracking is being performed.
- At the end of the day.

If you have received an alert that your pet has left the Safe Zone you have the option to be able to perform Live Tracking to see where the pet has gone. Live tracking does not happen automatically, and the user must choose to start live tracking if a pet has left the safe zone. While live tracking is running the Pintrac™ App will refresh the screen every 30 seconds and provide you with location updates. Blue breadcrumb dots indicate you are in good GPS coverage while purple dots indicate the GPS coverage is poor. If you are in poor GPS coverage your accuracy may not be as accurate.
When you choose live tracking, you will be present with a slider bar indicating how many minutes you want to run live tracking. You can also stop live tracking at any time. Depending on the battery level will depend on how many choices you are presented. A full battery will show 60 minutes where a low battery may only show 5 or 10 minutes. NOTE: Performing live tracking for long periods of time will greatly reduce the battery life. Also, Live Tracking can only be performed while the Pet Tracker is outside of the Safe Zone.
