First time test of ThePaw
Please don
’
t skip this page. It
’
s really important to follow these steps to establish a first‐time location.
The first time you connect ThePaw, you may be surprised to discover that it tells you it
’
s several miles away
–
even
though you
’
re stood right next to it! So here are the exact steps to follow for smooth testing and future operation.
1.
Ensure you
’
ve completed
‘
Getting started in four easy steps
’
from page 3 of the user manual. This means
that your Paw will be 100% charged, with the App downloaded and initial settings checked and complete.
2.
Disconnect ThePaw from charging and turn it off by clicking the button on the front 3 times in quick
succession. Click

click. Assuming ThePaw was on, after 3 seconds ThePaw will flash both the red
and blue lights back at you very quickly three times
–

flash. ThePaw is now turned off.
3.
Now take ThePaw outside. Ensure that you are standing in clear line of the sky (i.e. not surrounded by
nearby tall buildings, tall trees, etc., just for this first test).
4.
Next, turn ThePaw back on by holding down the button on the front for up to 7 seconds or until all 4 lights
turn on in bright white. ThePaw is now switched on.
5.
Soon after ThePaw is on, both the Blue and Red lights will begin to flash in unison. Read
‘
What do the
various indicator lights mean?
’
on Page 7
of the user manual, but essentially the Blue light indicates whether
satellites are in view, whilst the Red light shows whether a mobile signal has been acquired.
A one second flash of either light means searching (blue satellite or red mobile).
A very quick flash (literally the blink of an eye speed) of either light means either the satellite (blue)
or mobile (red) has been reached.
6.
Now leave ThePaw outside for 15 minutes and return indoors with your mobile phone. On the first occasion
that you use ThePaw, it may take up to 15 minutes to properly locate its location on the earth
’
s surface.
Once this has happened, it gets the idea and will quickly acquire its location in the future, so this is a one‐
time setup.
7.
After 15 minutes (it may happen quicker), open the Tracking App, login to your Paw Device ID and click on
Real‐time tracking
(top left on main app screen). You will now see the location of ThePaw.
8.
Your dog is indicated by the green arrow (and name of your dog) and this is ThePaw location. The blue circle
is your phone and its location is calculated by your iPhone or Android software. You know where you are
anyway!
You may now go into Settings / Interval for uploading location data and set the interval to
’12 hours power saving
positioning’
which will save you battery. Then if you ever lose your pet, you can simply return to the setting and go
back to
‘1 minute fast positioning’
for quicker location pinpointing.
