TAGG—THE PET TRACkER

Thank you for purchasing Tagg—The Pet Tracker™. The Tagg™ system offers you reliable location technology so you can stay in touch with your pet. The Tagg smart location technology will help you locate your pet if he goes missing, and it will send you a text and email if he wanders outside of your designated Tagg zone.

Get started today with Tagg—The Pet Tracker, and you will have peace of mind, whenever and wherever you are.

Sincerely,

The Tagg Team

How it Works

Tagg—The Pet Tracker is a pet tracking system that uses GPS advanced technology that allows you to see where your pet is.

But the goal of the Tagg system isn’t just to find a lost pet – it’s to not lose him in the first place. With the Tagg system, you create your own Tagg zone, the area where your pet spends most of his time. If he leaves it, you get a text and email. At that point, you can locate and track your pet on the Tagg map on your computer or smart phone.

Here are three ways you can stay in touch with your pet:

•

On your computer.

Visit www.tagg.com to view the Tagg map and see where your pet is at any time.

•

On your smart phone.

Use the web application on a smart phone browser to view the Tagg map and see your pet when you’re on the go. You can also download the free Tagg app for your Android smart phone or iPhone. See page 24 .

•

Through texts and emails.

Receive Tagg alerts and updates by text and email, or use text commands to locate and track your pet.

About the Page Button

If you’re at home and the Tagg system says your pet is “near the docking station” but you can’t find him, you can page the Tagg tracker. See page 20 for more information.

Positioning the docking station for optimal performance:

• keep the docking station within the boundary of your pet’s home Tagg zone, where your pet spends most of its time.

• Place the docking station indoors, in an open area away from metal appliances.

• Ensure the docking station is plugged in and powered on (power indicator lights up blue).

*If you only purchased a Tagg tracker, it does not include a docking station and power kit.

Note: If you make a significant relocation of the docking station (such as taking it to a vacation home), you must adjust the Tagg zone to reflect the new location and address.

TAGG DASHBOARD AND MAP OVERVIEW

The Tagg dashboard and map are two areas that you’ll use often on the Tagg website.

• The Tagg dashboard is a quick view of your Tagg account – it’s what you use to manage your devices and your Tagg service.

• The Tagg map is where you’ll see your pet’s current and most recent locations, and it’s where you can visually locate or track him if he leaves the Tagg zone.

Once you’ve created your account and activated your Tagg tracker, you can start using the dashboard and map to keep track of your pet. See page 11 for more on activating your Tagg tracker.

Tagg Dashboard

As you see on the screen below, the dashboard is where you can:

• Activate the Tagg tracker.

• Create or modify your pet’s profile.

• Manage your accounts, devices, service, notifications, and billing.

• Get a quick view of the Tagg map.

(Your screen will look similar to this.)

Charge the Tagg tracker

• Step 2:

Activate the Tagg tracker online

• Step 3: Personalize your pet’s profile

Status Indicator

• Properly secure the tracker on the docking station by making sure its charging contact aligns with the docking station’s charging pins. (When the tracker is docked in the correct position, the tracker status indicator will light up blue within 60 seconds of docking).

It may take some force to stretch the strap all the way.

Do not use tools or other devices to attach the strap.

Doing so may result in damage to the clip or strap.

HOW TO READ YOUR TAGG MAP

How to Read Your Tagg Map

The Tagg map is easy to read – take a look at the scenarios below for a quick overview. You can view the map on your computer or smart phone at any time.

Inside the Tagg Zone

When your pet (we’ll call him Buster) is near the docking station, the Tagg tracker will be in power saving mode to maximize your battery. At that time, the Tagg map will look similar to this:

• The Tagg zone is the blue circle around Buster’s home.

• Buster’s location is identified by a paw icon . Since he’s close to the docking station, in the Tagg zone and in power saving mode, there’s no pinpointed GPS location.

• When Buster’s location is identified by a paw icon with a point: , it means there is a GPS location available.

• Buster’s location is displayed with the time and date in the Pet Status Bar under the map.

Multiple Pets in the Tagg Zone

If you have more than one pet in the Tagg zone in power saving mode, their locations are identified by a single blue square: . The number in the center indicates the number of pets currently in the

Tagg zone.

User Guide

17

HOW TO READ YOUR TAGG MAP

Outside the Tagg Zone

When your dog (we’ll call him Max) leaves the Tagg zone, the system sends an alert to your Tagg account. If you have opted-in to receive email and text notifications, you will receive them as well.

Your Tagg map will look similar to this:

• An Alert banner appears at the top of the map to let you know that Max is outside the Tagg zone.

• Max is identified by a paw icon with a pinpoint on the bottom . The pinpoint means that there is a GPS location available for Max.

• The Pet Status Bar indicates that Max is “outside the Tagg zone” and provides an estimated street address with a specified date and time of the last recorded location of your pet.

User Guide

HOW TO READ YOUR TAGG MAP

View Your Pet’s Location Trail

When your pet leaves the Tagg zone, you can turn on tracking to see his location trail. The location trail is an animated dotted trail with all of your pet’s known locations since leaving the Tagg zone.

(Your screen will look similar to this.)

When tracking is on, the Show Trail button appears under the Pet Status Bar. To see the location trail on the Tagg map:

• Click Show Trail.

• Move your cursor over a dot to see the address of that location and the date and time your dog was there:

Your dog’s location trail will be recorded the entire time he is outside of the Tagg zone, even if you initiate multiple tracking sessions or one time locates.

Clicking Show Trail will replay all of the locations.

IMPORTANT: Do not press and hold the Trip button because this will power off the Tagg tracker.

• The status indicator flashes blue for 10 seconds to let you know the Tagg tracker is entering

Trip mode.

Results:

• The Tagg system will suppress alerts that the pet is outside the Tagg zone, as long as the pet leaves the vicinity of the docking station within 10 minutes of the Trip button being pressed.

• When the pet returns to the area near the docking station, Trip mode ends and the system automatically resumes normal monitoring activity.

• While the pet is on the walk or errand, the Locate and Track functions can still be used to locate the pet, if necessary.

What happens if I don’t leave the vicinity of the docking station within 10 minutes of pressing the

Trip button?

• Trip mode is automatically cancelled after 10 minutes if the pet remains in the vicinity of the docking station. Any future breaches are reported as usual.

Can I start Trip mode from anywhere, or just when I’m near the docking station?

• Trip mode can be started at any time. If you happen to already be away from the docking station,

Trip mode can still be activated, and it will automatically end when the pet returns to the area near the docking station.
