Installation Guide
1. Opening the Application
1. Opening the Application
When you open the Hunter’s Tracker app, you will see three main menu items:
- MAP
- ACTIVITIES
- SETTINGS
In the top right corner, there is a battery indicator showing the tracker’s battery status.
Battery indicator colours:
- Green: 60–100%
- Yellow: 20–60%
- Red: 0–20%
You will receive a notification when the battery level reaches 20% and changes to red.
2. MAP Menu
The MAP section displays the area map showing the current location of the tracker.
You can:
- Zoom in and out of the map.
- Manage multiple trackers under the UNITS submenu.
By default, each tracker is named DOG followed by a number (e.g., DOG1, DOG2).
You can rename each tracker under SETTINGS.
Each UNIT has its own submenu displaying:
- The dog’s name.
- A time indicator, adjustable to show movements within a chosen time frame.
- The maximum speed of the dog.
- The average speed of the dog.
- The outdoor temperature.
- A battery indicator showing the tracker’s power level.
3. ACTIVITIES Menu
The ACTIVITIES section provides the same data as the MAP view but includes an additional feature:
- If entered under SETTINGS, you can view your female dog’s next heat cycle prediction.
4. SETTINGS Menu
The SETTINGS section includes the following submenus:
- NAME
- GEOFENCE
- SET CONTACT
- HEAT CYCLE
- SCAN NEW UNITS
- SEE GUIDE
- ORDER A NEW UNIT
- ABOUT
4.1 NAME
Allows you to rename the tracker as you prefer.
4.2 GEOFENCE
Lets you create and name a geofence area—a virtual boundary for your dog.
- You will receive a notification if the tracker moves outside the designated area.
- The geofence is defined by four adjustable points on the map.
- You can move individual points or drag the entire area by repositioning the arrow on the map.
4.3 SET CONTACT
Defines how frequently the tracker sends a location signal.
- The interval can be set from 0 minutes to any chosen duration.
- When set to 0 minutes, the tracker sends a location update approximately every 10–20 seconds.
Note:
The more frequently the tracker sends signals, the faster the battery drains.
A fully charged tracker can send around 500 location updates, sufficient for a full day of hunting.
Recommendation: - During hunts: set CONTACT to 1–2 minutes.
- If you lose connection to your dog: set CONTACT to 0 minutes. You will receive location updates every 10–20 seconds within 1–2 minutes.
Battery-saving tip:
If the included FREEZONE is close to the tracker (e.g., during lunch or a break), the tracker will stop sending location signals, conserving battery power.
4.4 HEAT CYCLE
A built-in calendar that helps track your female dog’s heat cycle.
- Female dogs usually come into heat twice a year.
- The heat cycle typically lasts about three weeks:
- Pro-oestrus (Pre-heat): ~9 days (with bleeding)
- Oestrus (Heat): ~9 days (fertile and receptive)
- The next heat usually occurs after 180–200 days, though this varies individually.
