7. ACQUIRING GPS SIGNAL
The PATHFINDER is meant for use in open outdoor areas. After pairing, take the
GPS Collar outdoors to acquire a GPS signal. Once the signal is acquired, the
GPS Collar icon will appear on the Map tab of the PATHFINDER app.
Operating the PATHFINDER near tall buildings and other steel structures will
reduce the range of the GPS signal. Not acquiring a GPS signal for prolonged
periods of time while outside may indicate issues with the unit.

CHANGING THE CONTACT POINT LENGTH
The Dogtra PATHFINDER comes equipped with standard 15 mm contact points
that can be extended to 19 mm contact points, for use on dogs with longer
coats. To increase the contact point length from 15 mm to 19 mm, follow the
steps below.
1) Using the included adjustment tool with the side marked 5/8", unscrew the
contact points counter-clockwise.
2) Place the contact point extension over the exposed threads, flat side down.
3) Place the contact points over the extensions and tighten the contact points
and extensions clockwise using the adjustment tool with the side marked
3/4".
Caution!
Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over tighten.
To shorten the contact points back to the standard 15 mm, start with the
adjustment tool with the side marked 3/4", remove the contact point
extensions, and tighten the contact points with the adjustment tool with the
side marked 5/8".
