Replacing the VHF Antenna in the Dog Collar Device

NOTICE

Do not excessively bend the band that connects the main device case with the GPS antenna.

NOTICE

When the L-shaped cover is removed, do not disturb the sealant opposite the VHF antenna, because this can damage the waterproof seal of the dog collar device.

Before you replace the VHF antenna, you must remove all dirt, water, and debris from the device (Cleaning the Device). Also, you need a small Phillips screwdriver.

  1. Remove the 4 screws Callout number 1 from the L-shaped cover over the VHF antenna.
    NOTE: You should note the location of the one short screw.
  2. Pry off the L-shaped cover.
