BASIC SETUP
Now that you’ve had a quick overview of the key features of Tagg—The Pet Tracker, you can start the setup process. There are four easy steps to complete:
• Step I:
Charge the Tagg tracker
• Step II: Activate the Tagg tracker online
• Step III: Personalize your pet’s profile
• Step IV: Attach the Tagg tracker to your pet’s collar
Step I: Charge the Tagg Tracker
1. Attach the AC adapter to the USB cable and plug the USB cable into the docking station power port. Be sure to only use the AC adapter and USB cable provided.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
Note: The docking station cannot be powered through your computer’s USB port.
3. If your Tagg docking station has an on/off switch on the bottom of the device, move it to the “on” position (power indicator will turn blue).
4. 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 correctly, the tracker status indicator will start flashing blue within 60 seconds of docking. The status indicator will be solid blue when the device is fully charged.)
Status Indicator
It will take up to two hours for your tracker to charge. We recommend charging as soon as you receive the low battery notification. The battery may last up to 30 days, but actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns. A Battery Life Estimating Chart can be found at www.tagg.
com in the Support section.
Note: When your tracker is near the docking station, it automatically enters power saving mode, giving you the maximum amount of time between charges.
While your tracker is charging, you can complete Step II and Step III.

BASIC SETUP
Set Up Your Tagg Zone
This is the boundary around the area where your pet spends most of his time. When your pet leaves the
Tagg zone, you will receive an alert.
A.
Give your Tagg zone a name (e.g., Home).
Note: Each account can only have one Tagg zone, even when multiple pets are on the account.
B.
Adjust the Tagg zone by clicking and dragging the orange center pin to the proper spot.
C.
The Tagg zone defaults to the smallest possible area: a 75-yard radius around the pet’s home. Click and drag the corner squares to enlarge the area up to 1,000 yards.
(Your screen will look similar to this.)
IMPORTANT: The docking station must be located inside the Tagg zone.
D.
The Pet Address field may have been auto-populated with your shipping address. If so, the system has created your initial Tagg zone around this address. If this is not your pet’s home, please enter your pet’s home address and click Update Map.
E.
Verify the time zone where you'll be using the tracker.

Tagg notifications tell you if your pet leaves the Tagg zone, and give you updates about your pet's location, the tracker's battery life, and important software upgrades. You'll always see notifications on the Tagg website, and you can also opt-in to receive them by email and/or text message.

You can keep your friends, family, or neighbors informed about your pet's whereabouts by sharing your notifications with them. Just add their email addresses to the Contacts section while activating.

of this guide for text message commands. Standard text message and data charges from your mobile carrier may apply. This cost is not included in your Tagg service. Please check with your carrier if you have questions about your plan and pricing.
Completing Activation
Now that you've set up your Tagg zone and notifications, complete the last few steps to activate your tracker. Your activation will be complete when you see the Activation Successful screen. This may take a few minutes.
IMPORTANT: After activation, you may need to upgrade the software on your tracker.
To upgrade your software, place your tracker on the docking station to charge. The upgrade will begin when your tracker has reached a sufficient battery level, which may take anywhere from a few minutes, up to 30 minutes.
The upgrade indicator on the docking station will turn on when the upgrade begins. Please do not remove your Tagg tracker from the docking station until the indicator turns off.
