      3. Outdoor test

         1) Take both devices to an open outdoor area;  [Video: first outdoor test]

      • If you have someone to assist with testing,  place the tracker on your dog’s back with the front facing up if possible and have your assistant walk your dog on a leash toward an open area outdoors;
      • If you're testing alone, place the tracker with the front facing up in an open outdoor location, such as an unobstructed ground, and walk in a farther direction with holding the controller.

           2) Depending on the environment, when the distance between your controller and the tracker exceeds the Bluetooth range (usually less than 120 ft), the devices will switch to GPS mode, and the controller displays a ‘GPS updatingGPS updating.
           3) You or your assistant can continue to walk slowly in a more distant direction. Once GPS positioning is finished (usually between ten seconds to over a minute for the first time, depending on your environment), your controller will display the relative distance and direction of the tracker Distance&Direction
           4) The distance and direction displayed by your controller may jump, this is because of the GPS drift when stationary, you just need to keep moving, usually the jump will disappear. The further away you are, the less you'll be affected by drift and the more accurate your readings will be.

        Note:

        • Battery protection:

        When using the Aorkuler GPS Tracker for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, the battery protection feature may be activated. This can result in the device not turning on or not responding while charging. Please follow these steps to exit the battery protection mode and allow the device to function properly:

        1. Connect the charging cable to the device.
        2. Insert a small, pointed object like a paperclip or a pin into the small reset hole on the device to reset the device.
        • GPS updating

        Aorkuler GPS tracker relies purely on GPS for location data and does not depend on cellular networks. Aorkuler GPS updating process may take slightly longer compared to devices that rely on cellular network assistance. When the controller prompts “GPS update”, please be sure use it in an open outdoor area and place the tracker on the dog’s back with the front facing up if possible. With a little patience, the GPS update can be completed in a few seconds to a few minutes.
