Performance Expectations (Important)

📍 GPS Accuracy

• Most accurate outdoors and moving

• Less accurate:

  • Indoors

  • Under cover

  • When stationary

⚠️ Location may vary (in some cases up to 100m+) in weak signal areas combined with inaccurate mapping.  This is normal for all GPS trackers due to dependence of Map accuracy and signal strength.

🔋 Battery Life Guide

Battery depends on:

• Update frequency

• Pet activity

• Network coverage

Typical ranges:

• 30 sec updates → 4–6 hours

• 5–30 min → hours to days

• 1–2 hour → 3 days to 2+ weeks

✔ HomeZone WiFi can improve battery life significantly, the more your pet is home or outside within your Home Wifi network, the less power it uses (up to 70%). HomeZone Wifi does not connect for data connection but scans your Home's Wifi Address/location only when turned on near your Wifi Router. 

---

🚨 Geofence Alerts

• May trigger indoors due to GPS limitations

• HomeZone helps reduce false alerts

---

📡 Reception Impact

• Poor signal = lower accuracy + faster battery drain

• Good signal = better performance + longer battery life

---

Additional Notes

🔒 Safety Design

• Silicon case and attachments designed to detach/break off under pressure to prevent injury or getting stuck permanently. (Under a house, up a tree etc) 
  
  

• We rather customers lose the tracker than having their cat/dog stuck under a
  building. 
  
  
• If you have a damaged silicon case, we recommend that you replace it asap. You can order directly from here.
