Before activating and using the Zoombak Universal Locator for the first time, you will need to fully charge the battery. Follow these simple instructions to charge the battery. The initial battery charge time will be 6 hours; each subsequent battery charge will be approximately 4 hours.

1. Remove the Zoombak Universal Locator and AC Wall Charger from the Zoombak Universal Locator package.

2. Plug the AC Wall Charger into a wall outlet.

3. Attach the Zoombak Universal Locator to the AC Wall

Charger via the USB Charger Jack on the Zoombak Universal

Locator.

Active Locator Service

Battery Life

Up to 120 hours or 5 days

Up to 150 Location Requests

Battery life depends on several factors including temperature, network, signal strength and Locator service features used.

Location requests include the following Zoombak Locator service features: “Find Now,” “Safety Zones” mode and

“Continuous Tracking” mode. When your Zoombak Locator indicates low battery (blinking amber LED), recharge your battery as defined in the previous section titled “Charging the Battery.”

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is not user replaceable; it can only be replaced by an authorized

service provider. For more information on battery replacement, please contact Zoombak Customer Care at 1-877-4ZOOMBAK .

Powering the Universal Locator ON/OFF

In order to power the Zoombak Universal Locator ON or OFF, follow these simple instructions:

1. Power ON—Press and hold the Power Button until the Locator

Status LED Indicator begins to glow (approximately two seconds).

Blinking green indicates operation OK.

2. Power OFF—Press and hold the Power Button until the

Locator Status LED Indicator begins to flash quickly (approximately two seconds). Locator Status LED Indicator will shut OFF when the Locator has properly shut down. A key feature of your

Zoombak Universal Locator during the power OFF process is that the Locator will determine its current location and send a power

OFF notification via email and/or mobile text message with its current location and time/date information (see the Zoombak

Universal Locator Quick Start Guide for details on setting up your alerts). The Locator Status LED Indicator will continue to blink during the power OFF process, which may take up to 2 minutes to complete this important notification feature.

Monitoring the Universal Locator Status

Refer to the following list in order to determine the status of your

Zoombak Universal Locator LED Indicator at any time.

General Usage Tips

GPS devices work by receiving satellite signals from the open sky.

For optimal operating conditions, your Zoombak Universal Locator needs to be in clear, unobstructed view of the sky in order to have a line of sight to a group of satellites.

When placing the Locator in an item such as a briefcase, luggage, or backpack, please ensure as far as possible that there is no solid material (eg. metal objects) above or surrounding the Locator which may block or weaken the signal it receives from the sky.

GPS satellites are in constant motion, rising and setting. Under certain conditions this means a location position that was obtainable fifteen minutes ago in a specific location may not be obtainable in the next try. In this instance there is no fault with the device. Please wait a while before trying to obtain a new location.

Placing the Universal Locator on Your Dog

In order for the Zoombak Universal Locator to help locate your dog, the Locator must be attached to your dog’s collar. The Zoombak

Universal Locator is not recommended for dogs under 15 lbs. Follow these simple instructions to attach the Zoombak Universal Locator to your dog’s collar:

1. Place the Zoombak Universal Locator in the Zoombak

Pouch, as shown.

2. Once the Zoombak Universal Locator is in the pouch, attach the

Zoombak Universal Locator Pouch to your dog’s collar through the strap on the rear panel of the pouch. Please note that the pouch will attach to any type, form or size collar.

3. To detach the Locator from your dog, simply remove the Zoombak

Universal Locator from the pouch using the zipper, without removing the entire pouch from your dog’s collar.

4. If your dog scratches at the Zoombak Universal Locator, allow him/her time to get accustomed to wearing it. There may be an adjustment period.

• Water Resistance

Safety Information

Your Zoombak Universal Locator contains a Lithium Ion (LI) battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the battery pack or the combustion of ingredients can cause personal injury to you, your dog, your vehicle, as well as damage to your Zoombak Universal Locator.

If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If liquid leaking from battery pack comes in contact with your eyes, immediately flush your eyes thoroughly with water and contact your doctor. In case of ingestion, immediately contact your doctor and/or go to the emergency room of your nearest hospital.

If the battery leaks into your dog’s fur, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and wrap the area to prevent the dog from licking the leakage from their fur. If liquid leaking from the battery pack comes in contact with your dog’s eyes, immediately flush them with water and contact your veterinarian. If your dog ingests battery fluid, DO NOT induce vomiting (as this can further damage your dog’s GI tract). Should ingestion occur, immediately contact your veterinarian or ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-

Zoombak Locator Disposal and Recycling

CAUTION:

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN

INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING

TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

You must dispose of the Zoombak Locator properly according to local laws and regulations. Because the Zoombak Locator contains electronic components and a battery, the Zoombak Locator must be disposed of separately from household waste. When the Zoombak

Locator reaches its end of life, contact local authorities to learn about disposal and recycling options. See www.zoombak.com for more information.

Reduction of Hazardous Materials (RoHS)

This Locator does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your Zoombak Universal Locator is a radio transmitter and receiver. It does not exceed exposure limits set by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) and international guidelines established by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP.

The exposure standard for wireless devices uses a unit of measure called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The SAR limit set by ICNIRP is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted at standard operating positions with the Locator transmitting at its highest power level over all frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating Locator can be below the maximum value because the Locator is designed to only use the power level required to reach the network. zoombak.com

AC Wall Charger Safety Information

Connect the AC Wall Charger only to designated power sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source before attempting to clean it. The AC Wall Charger must not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Use only Zoombak branded original chargers intended for use with your

Zoombak Locator. Other chargers may not be designed to the same safety and performance standards.

Important Coverage Information

Our coverage maps provide high-level estimates of our coverage areas when using your device outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage isn’t available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal strength is not an exact science.

There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors (network problems, software, signal strength, your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), will result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of services.

Services that rely on location information depend on your device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (often not available indoors) and network coverage. Estimated future coverage subject to change.

See www.zoombak.com for coverage map and details.
