HugMy.pet ThePaw 

 

Select 12 hour Power saving mode. 
 
If you discover that your pet has gone 
missing, then simply return to this setting 
and select the fastest update of 1 minute to 
pin-point his or her exact location. 
 
Essentially, there’s no point reporting back 
your pet’s location when he or she is right 
by your side, but beauty of ThePaw is your 
ability to communicate with it, even when 
you don’t know where your pet happens to 
be. This means you can increase 
communication feedback as and when you 
need it, saving battery in the meantime.  
 
For ultra-power-saving (longest possible 
battery life), select 12 hours power saving 
positioning. 
 

 

 

Next click on 

Sensor lights 

 

A fantastic feature of ThePaw is the ability 
to switch on sensor lights. This will light up 
the 4 ‘paw’ lights on the device and can be 
very useful for finding your pet outside at 
night. 
 
However, head to this feature under 

Settings

 / 

Sensor lights

 and turn it off for 

now.  
 
As and when your pet goes missing, simply 
fire up the app and go to 

Settings

 / 

Sensor 

lights

 and switch on this feature. The 

beauty of ThePaw is that you’re in 
communication with it, so you can add this 
feature as and when you need it, rather 
than draining the battery the rest of the 
time. 

 

Finally, unless you’re using it to show off ThePaw to your pals, or you have actually lost your pet, don’t 
keep the App or website open unnecessarily. When you do, it will have a tendency to ‘ping’ ThePaw 
periodically, meaning the ThePaw will need to use up some energy to respond. Just let it do its thing and 
check in when you actually need to know the whereabouts of your pet.
