IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
EXPLANATION OF ATTENTION WORDS AND SYMBOLS USED IN THIS GUIDE
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in harm to your dog.
NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is aggressive, or if your dog is prone
to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others.
If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or a
certified trainer.
• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit, or
charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if this
warning is not followed.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
regulations in your area.
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• Do not charge the batteries in areas with high temperature (100°F +).
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Using your TEK™ Series Location and Training System while operating a motor vehicle can be distracting.
Always pay full attention to operating your vehicle.
• Always be alert to your surroundings when navigating to a way point. Do not cross dangerous terrain or
obstacles as you move.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for
too long or made too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called
decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the dog’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a leash/lead to the Collar Receiver; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a leash/lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.

SPORTDOG.COM
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit the Support section for remote
trainers at www.sportdog.com.
These steps will help keep your dog safe and comfortable. Millions of dogs are comfortable while they wear
stainless steel contacts. Some dogs are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your
dog is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue
daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points to
ensure consistent contact. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will
increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
• Unauthorized changes or modifications to the equipment may violate FCC regulations and could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
• Taking product apart can cause damage and void your warranty. Contact the Customer Care Center for
battery replacement service.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The SportDOG Brand® TEK Series 2.0 Systems have been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all dogs over
8 pounds (3.6 kg). Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to track your dog, reinforce commands, and
correct misbehavior from up to 10 miles line of sight.
The Handheld Device receives your location from its built-in GPS antenna and receives location updates from
the GPS antenna mounted on the Collar to track the location of your dog. The Handheld Device sends a signal,
activating the E-Collar Module to deliver a harmless stimulation.* With proper training, a dog will learn to
associate the signal with a command. Like all SportDOG™ products, this model features adjustable stimulation
levels so you can tailor the stimulation level to your dog’s temperament, eliminating the risk of over-correction.
*TEK-V2LT and TEK-2AD have E-Collar functionality. To add E-Collar functionality to your TEK-V2L, you must
purchase the TEK-2T E-Collar Module.
IMPORTANT: THE TEK SERIES 2.0 SYSTEM HAS A RANGE OF UP TO 10 MILES LINE OF
SIGHT. DEPENDING ON THE WAY YOU HOLD THE HANDHELD DEVICE, THE MAXIMUM
RANGE MAY VARY. FOR CONSISTENT RESULTS AT LONGER RANGES, HOLD THE
HANDHELD DEVICE IN A VERTICAL POSITION AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND ABOVE
YOUR HEAD. TERRAIN, WEATHER, VEGETATION, TRANSMISSIONS FROM OTHER
RADIO DEVICES, AND OTHER FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE MAXIMUM RANGE.

ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• The Handheld Device, GPS Collar and E-Collar Module contain Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate,
puncture, deform, short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or
bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the regulations in
your area.
• Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (100°F+).
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before
charging and cannot be over charged.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done
once every 3 to 4 months. Failure to do so will result in decreased battery life.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose
capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating
time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, call our Customer Care Center
at 1-800-732-0144. Please do not open the GPS Collar or E-Collar Module until you have received your replacement.
• When storing the device for an extended time, store within the following temperature range: from 32°F to 77°F
(from 0° to 25°C).
• Separate collection of spent batteries is required in many regions; check the regulations in your area before
discarding spent batteries.
HOW TO CHANGE A GPS COLLAR TO A GPS
COLLAR WITH ECOLLAR MODULE
1. Remove the outer screws from the Location-Only Module with
a 3/32 Allen wrench (A).
2. Separate the Location-Only Module (back cover) from the
collar’s front housing (B). The O-ring may become dislodged.
3. Thoroughly clean around the O-ring boss inside the front
housing with a soft towel ensuring all grease and debris have
been removed.
4. Once clean, reapply grease to the O-ring and slide the O-ring
around the boss. Press down firmly to make sure O-ring is
seated properly (C).
5. Before installing the E-Collar Module, check to make sure
the GPS collar mount and Antenna base and cable have not
become dislodged (D).
• Ensure the GPS collar mount is seated properly in the front
housing and that the GPS c ollar mount plug is securely in
place.
• Ensure the Antenna base is seated firmly on top of the GPS collar mount and that the Antenna cable is routed
properly through front housingchannel.
6. Install the E-Collar Module onto the collar’s front housing. Ensure that the E-Collar module is fully seated
before replacing the screws (E).
7. Replace the two outer screws being careful not to over-tighten (F).

STEP :: 02
FIT THE GPS COLLAR WITH ECOLLAR MODULE
To ensure the effectiveness of this product and the comfort and safety of your dog, check the fit of his collar
frequently. If you notice that your dog is experiencing skin irritation, discontinue use of the collar for a few
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the GPS Collar with E-Collar Module is important for effective use.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A
collar worn for too long, or made too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it
is also called decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
When possible, reposition the collar on the dog’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
Never connect a lead/leash to the collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
When using a separate collar for a lead/leash, don’t put pressure on the collar.
Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit the Support Section for remote
trainers at www.sportdog.com.
These steps will help keep your dog safe and comfortable. Millions of dogs are comfortable while they wear
stainless steel contacts. Some dogs are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your
dog is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue
daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
TO ENSURE A PROPER FIT, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. With your dog standing (1A), center the GPS Collar with E-Collar Module so the Contact Points are
underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (1B). If your dog has a long or thick coat, you have two options
to ensure consistent contact: either trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact
Points included with your system.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a
rash or infection.
You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will
increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.

2. The GPS Collar with E-Collar Module should fit snugly, yet loose enough to
allow one finger to fit between the strap and your dog’s neck (1C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit.
Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the GPS
Collar with E-Collar Module.
Note: To ensure the best reception possible, make sure the GPS antenna is
positioned on the back of your dog’s neck.

You can adjust the settings to show (all, none, or selected) or clear.
DOGS
Each tracked dog will be represented by an icon in the color you have selected to
represent that dog. The dog’s breadcrumb trail is represented with the same color as
the icon.
For example: A red dog will correspond to the dog whose collar you selected as red.
When a dog is in an alert state – Point, Treed, or Stopped – its icon will change to

COMPASS
COMPASS
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 NAVIGATION
When 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The answers to these questions should help you solve any problem you have with this system. If they do not,
please contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144 or visit our website at www.sportdog.com.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
My handheld transceiver does not turn on. Check that battery is not dead.
Refer to “Charge the Handheld Transceiver” to charge
the battery in the handheld transceiver.
My dog is not responding when I press a STIM button. Check to see if the E-collar module has been turned on.
• If your range has reduced from the first time you
have used it, please check to see if the battery is
low in either the handheld transceiver or E-collar
module.
• Many factors can impact the range you have with
the TEK SERIES® Location and Training System.
For a list of these factors, please refer to “How the
System Works”.
• You can verify the E-collar module is delivering
stimulation to your dog by placing the test light,
enclosed in your kit, on the contact points. Please
refer to the “Test Light Instructions” section for
details.
• Increase the stimulation level. Refer to “To Find
Your Dog’s Recognition Level for Your Dog” for
more information.
• Make sure the contact points are placed snugly
against your dog’s skin. Refer to “Fit the Collar
Receiver” for more information.
• You may need to switch to the longer contact points
included with your system or trim the hair beneath
the contact points.
• If you notice your operating time dropping to
about half the original time, your E-Collar module
battery needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer
Care CEnter to purchase a new one.
The collar receiver will not turn on. Make sure the E-Collar module has been charged. The
E-collar module will charge in 2 hours.
The collar receiver is not responding to the handheld
transmitter. • Verify the E-Collar module has been turned on.
