Charging your GoFindR
Once initially powered on, your GoFindR is designed to operate continuously without having to be
powered off. In normal operation, your GoFindR battery should give you approximately 5 days of use.
This varies depending upon how many text messages you send to your GoFindR and how many
instant location requests you make. You will receive a text message alert from your GoFindR when
the battery level reaches 30% of capacity. You should recharge at this point. If you continue to
operate the tracker past this point, then you will receive a second text message indicating the tracker
is powering down when the tracker reaches 20% battery level.
To recharge your GoFindR, unsnap it from the collar clip and snap it into the charging base. The
battery indicator will glow Amber while GoFindR is charging. When charging is complete, the battery
indicator will glow Green until it is removed from the charger. You do not have to power the GoFindR
back on unless you manually powered it off or unless GoFindR shut down because its battery was
below 20%.
A Lithium Polymer battery that is not user replaceable powers your GoFindR. The battery contains a
protection circuit to prevent overcharging and overheating. It also protects against accidental shorting
of the battery terminals. The battery’s status is reported to the GoFindR smartphone app whenever it
reports its position. Characteristic of this type of battery, you will see a rapid drop in capacity between
full charge and about 70%. This is normal. The discharge rate slows down dramatically until the
battery capacity gets to about 30%. At that point, the discharge rate increases again and the battery
should be recharged.
