CHARGING YOUR PET SITTER

Your THOMSON Pet Sitter features a built-in rechargeable battery. To charge it, you need to use the charging cable which

has been supplied with the device. Plug the USB connector into an AC adaptor (maximum rating 1A output) with a USB

socket (e.g. the one which came with your smartphone) or directly in to the USB socket of your computer. Remove the

silicone cover on the pet sitter and plug in the Micro USB plug into the socket.

NOTE: Please note that the pet sitter needs to be charged using the supplied cable as most other USB cables will not  t.

INSTALLING A SIM CARD

Your THOMSON Pet Sitter relies on the GPS functionalities of modern mobile devices. In order for these to work it

requires a Micro SIM card to be inserted. To do this open the silicone cover next to the three LEDs and insert the SIM card

with the golden contacts facing towards the coloured plastic top of the Pet Sitter. If inserted correctly, the card will lock

into the slot. For removal, simply push it again and pull it out.

Make sure the SIM card, which you intend to use, does not require a PIN code to work, since the Pet Sitter will not

function correctly.

In the next step you will have to set the APN details for your SIM card. To do this please refer to the section “APN

SETTINGS” later in the instructions.

Now turn on the Pet Sitter. After a short time the Blue LED will be lit and if connection to the GSM network has been

successful, it should start slowly blinking.

ATTACHING THE DEVICE

To attach the Pet Sitter to the collar of your pet, you will need to use the clamp provided.

• Slide the two clips into the guide rails of the Pet Sitter with the LED’s facing upwards. Make sure they are  rmly

snapped in place to prevent the device from becoming loose and falling oﬀ .

• Now slide the Pet Sitter over the collar and ensure it is secure.

NOTE: When the clamp is  xed to a thick collar, it will adjust to the thickness. You will need to adjust it manually to secure

a tight  t, if it needs to be attached to a thinner collar afterwards. This is due to the fact that the metal clamp is rigid.

PET SITTER APP

Installing the Pet Sitter application

Look for the “THOMSON Pet Sitter” app in the Apple store/Google Play store and download it to your mobile device.

Registering an account

For your Pet Sitter to work you will need to register an account  rst. This is required so you can use your mobile phone to

connect to the THOMSON server that the Pet Sitter is sending its data to. The  rst time you open the app or when you’ve

logged out of your account, you will see the login screen which allows for registering new accounts as well.

Registering the Pet Sitter device

In the next step you will need to register your pet sitter device to your account. For the rst installation the app will ask

Fig.7 Fig.8

Note: In order for the following steps to work the Pet Sitter needs to be fully charged and turned on. You’ll also require a

functional network connection (indicated by the ashing Blue light), which means a SIM card needs to be inserted rst.

Firstly, enter the serial number of your Pet Sitter either manually or by scanning the QR code on the back of the device.

Then input the phone number of the SIM card which has been inserted in the Pets Sitter where is says “Device SIM no.”

And nally enter your mobile phone number so you can receive information and data directly to the app.

Click on submit and your device will be paired to your app.

APN settings

In order for your Pet Sitter to gain access to the GSM network you will have to set the APN details (phone number of the

SIM card inserted, APN name and if necessary username and password) for the provider of your SIM card. If you’re unsure

about these, please visit the website of your provider for more detailed information or search elsewhere online

Fig.10

When you have successfully entered the APN details, the app will send an SMS message to the tracker and you will

receive a message back to conrm is has worked.

LOCATION

on the ‘Go Here’ option you can get full directions to the location, just like using a sat-nav device.

GEO-FENCE

A “Geo-Fence” is a virtual boundary for a zone which the Pet Sitter is not supposed to leave. For example if you use the

Pet Sitter device on your pet, you could set up a geo-fence around your house or property to get an alert if your pet

leaves the area.

To set up a geo-fence, you rst need to dene the center of the geo-fence zone. Then you set the radius for the fence to

surround this point. You can dene the center in two ways:

- Simply point to the center by selecting it on the map you see in the screen.

- By pressing the pencil icon in lower right of the screen, you can manually enter an address for the map to go to.

- To dene the radius of the geo-fence, use the slider at the bottom of the page. You can set the fence from 50M to

500M.

- After dening both center and radius, hit nish to complete the setup. Now you will receive notications if the Pet Sitter

leaves this dened area.

TRAIL

This function allows for following the path of the Pet Sitter for any specic date and time. Simply enter the date and the

times for start and end in the menu on the lower side of the screen, to see the trail for this given time.

ADDING ADDITIONAL TRACKERS

the same procedure when you installed the rst device.

You can also delete any device from this page.
