35SPORTDOG.COMCOMPASSCOMPASS The Compass page looks and acts like a traditional compass, and shows you a directional arrow to the objects being tracked. You can scroll through your list three objects at a time. The Compass page is used in two modes: GENERAL TRACKING When a route IS NOT active:•   The Compass page rotates the compass circle to show you the heading that is being followed. •   The Compass page does not show a bearing arrow for the user, since no destination has been specified.•  The dogs being tracked still appear on the compass circle, along with the Info Fields and Stim button options for each dog. •  The Info Fields show speed and heading. ROUTE NAVIGATIONWhen a route IS active:The Compass page displays the outline arrow, pointing in the direction of the next route waypoint. •  The Info Fields show distance to finish and trip odometer.COMPASS VIEW The Compass is designed to look and act like a traditional floating needle compass. The cardinal letters rotate as the handheld rotates, maintaining their orientation to North. BEARING ARROWS (OUTLINE ARROW) The Bearing Arrow represents the direction of the next waypoint in relation to the current location, and rotates with the compass as you turn the Handheld. Other bearing arrows represent the direction to three objects being tracked. These arrows are each color-coded to the object they represent.OBJECTS BEING TRACKED The three info boxes below the compass provide details about the three different objects being tracked. These boxes show you the name and color of each object, as well as the distance and bearing to that object. The distance and bearing values update in real time as the tracked object moves. The three info boxes are scrollable, from left to right and you can scroll through to bring up more objects. STIMULATION SOFT BUTTONS The three buttons on the left side of the screen display the stimulation level for each of the tracked objects. Objects that do not support stimulation are still color-coded, but show a dash instead of a Stim level.

56 SPORTDOG.COMFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSIs the stimulation safe for my dog? While continuous and/or momentary static stimulation may be unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Elec-tronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results.How old does a dog have to be before using the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System? Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience com-mands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” The collar receiver may be too large for dogs under 8 pounds.Once my dog is trained and has been obeying my commands, will my dog have to continue to wear the collar receiver?Your dog may need to wear the collar receiver from time to time for reinforcement. Also, many hunters keep the collar receiver on their dog(s) while hunting for maximum control.Is the collar receiver waterproof? Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be replaced, make sure the o-ring and o-ring groove are free from dirt and debris.Can my collar receiver be used around salt water? If the collar receiver is used in or around salt water, the collar receiver should be rinsed with fresh water following each use.Can I use the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System with more than one dog? Yes, the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System is expandable to a maximum of 12 dogs.  Additional collar receivers must be purchased separately.Can I use the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System on aggressive dogs? We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs.  We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your dog might be aggressive.Will I get exactly 7 miles of range with the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System? The range you get with your TEK SERIES® Location and Training System will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as, transmission from other radio devices.  To get the maximum amount of range, please refer to the “How the System Works” section of this guide.How long can I continuously deliver stimulation to my dog? The maximum amount of time you can deliver stimula-tion to your dog continuously is 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the handheld transceiver will “time-out,” and the STIM button must be released and pressed again.What do I do if my dog’s neck becomes red and irritated? This condition is due to the contact points irritating the skin.  Discontinue use of the collar receiver for a few days.  If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.  Once the skin returns to normal, resume use, and monitor the skin condition closely.Can I attach a leash to the collar receiver? DO NOT attach a leash to the collar receiver.  You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash.  Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the contact points.
