Now your pet can come and go anytime, no matter where you are, or what you are doing.</p><p>This Quick Start Guide includes a series of articles with step-by-step instructions teaching you everything you need to know about how to install, use and maintain Wayzn Pet Tag. Please take a moment to read these instructions to ensure you get the best possible results.</p><p><br></p><h2 id="3-things-you-should-know-before-you-begin">3 things you should know before you begin...</h2><p><br></p><h4 id="it-requires-training-and-must-be-used-with-care">It requires training and must be used with care</h4><p>Anytime you introduce a new technology it is important to slowly and carefully acclimate your pet. Wayzn Pet Tag is no exception. Re-entering the house unassisted may be a new behavior for your pet(s), so we suggest starting outside and building confidence that when the pet arrives the door will open. Watch for any signs of discomfort, anxiety, or fear, and immediately stop using the product if any of these symptoms are observed. For safety reasons, train your pet to immediately pass through the doorway completely when the door opens and not to delay action or sit or stand part-way through the opening. Operating the door with Wayzn Pet Tag unattended is a risky activity and failure to sufficiently train and monitor your pet using the system will put your pet at risk. If you have any doubts about your pet&apos;s ability to use the product safely, please discontinue use immediately and <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/contact">contact us</a> to arrange to return the product for a refund.</p><p><br></p><h4 id="it-is-for-secure-yards-only">It is for secure yards only</h4><p>Wayzn Pet Tag automates your Wayzn Smart Pet Door so your pet can exit and enter your home without your assistance. Giving your pet control over the door reduces security, thus Wayzn Pet Tag should only be used in secure yards. If you have any concerns at all about the safety of your home or pet, do not use Wayzn Pet Tag. Instead, please <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/contact">contact us</a> to arrange to return the product for a refund. You should treat the tag as you would a key to your home. If you notice your pet&apos;s tag is missing, immediately <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/delete-and-remove-wayzn-pet-tag-237112">remove the tag from the Wayzn app</a> until it is recovered or replaced.</p><p><br></p><h4 id="it-may-not-respond-instantly">It may not respond instantly</h4><p>The Pet Tag receiver scans for tags nearly continuously, but must take short breaks to check in with your Wayzn Smart Pet Door, which it does approximately every thirty seconds. This administrative handshake process takes a few seconds and is necessary to check for new firmware or changes you make to your tag&apos;s settings in the Wayzn app. If this process is running when the tag approaches the receiver you may notice a slight delay before the door opens. Don&apos;t worry, it will open before long and your pet will quickly learn that sometimes a short wait is needed.</p><p><br></p><h2 id="now-lets-get-started">Now, let&#x2019;s get started!</h2><p>Please read these articles and follow the instructions in the correct order to ensure the best possible results.

Each of these components must be positioned correctly for the system to work properly. This article explains how to attach and position the receiver. After installing and setting up the receiver you will want to learn <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/how-to-attach-a-tag-to-your-pets-collar-222178">how to position and attach the tag</a>.</p><p>&#xA0;</p><h2 id="h_01GGB88X36S9J9380QH5QW2M1X">Positioning and attaching the receiver</h2><p>The very first step in setting up Wayzn Pet Tag is to install the receiver. For best results follow these guidelines:</p><p><br></p><h4 id="step-1---determine-the-best-placement">Step 1 - Determine the best placement</h4><p>The position of the receiver has a strong impact on the performance of the system, so it is important to find the best placement for your home. Since you may need to adjust the placement, we recommend that you use some masking tape to attach the receiver initially, then use the included mounting tape after you are sure of the best placement.</p><p>For now, position the receiver near where the door opens, leaving 1-2 inches between the receiver and any raised trim or door casing. Make sure the logo is upright and the button and light are facing up toward the ceiling.</p><p>Position the receiver at or slightly lower than the height of your pet&apos;s neck. If you have multiple pets that will be wearing tags, try using the average height or a slightly lower height.</p><p><img alt="Receiver_placement_2.jpg" src="https://hsfiles.gorgias.help/gm/help-centers/17840/attachments/9f22a74e-9ccb-4b33-8dcc-3c72c23461c2.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></p><p><br></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-2---stick-it-to-the-wall">Step 2 - Stick it to the wall</h4><p>The receiver comes with removable mounting tape pre-applied. As mentioned, refrain from using the mounting tape at this time, and use removable tape such as masking tape for now. After determining the optimal placement through testing you can remove the backing paper to reveal the sticky surface, then press the receiver into position and apply pressure for ten seconds. The tape uses a hook and loop mechanism so you can temporarily remove the receiver at any time by pulling it off the wall, being careful not to remove the tape that is attached to the wall (and your paint along with it).&#xA0;</p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-3---supply-power-to-the-receiver">Step 3 - Supply power to the receiver</h4><p>Always use the plug and cable that were supplied with your Wayzn Pet Tag. Start by carefully inserting the Micro USB cable into the bottom of the receiver. Please note that this is a directional connector, so take care to ensure you have the connector oriented correctly before inserting it. Next, connect the other end of the cable to the plug, and plug it into the wall.</p><hr><p><br></p><p>After installing the receiver and supplying power, <span class="wysiwyg-color-red">follow these steps to&#xA0;</span><span class="wysiwyg-color-red"><a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/pair-and-configure-the-pet-tag-with-the-mobile-app-222173">pair the Pet Tag with the</a></span><a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/pair-and-configure-the-pet-tag-with-the-mobile-app-222173">&#xA0;Wayzn mobile app</a>.</p><p>&#xA0;</p>

Install the Pet Tag receiver

Step-by-step instructions for setting up your Wayzn Pet Tag after installing the receiver.

<p>After <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/install-the-pet-tag-receiver-222161">installing the Pet Tag receiver</a>, the next step in preparing your Wayzn Pet Tag is to pair the system with the Wayzn mobile app. This article provides step-by-step instructions.</p><p><br></p><h3 id="contents">Contents:</h3><p><a href="#setup">Setting up a Wayzn Pet Tag</a></p><p><a href="#settings">Accessing the tag settings page</a></p><p><a href="#adding">Adding additional tags</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p><br></p><h2 id="setup">Setting up a Wayzn Pet Tag</h2><h3 id><br></h3><h4 id="step-1">Step 1</h4><p>Be sure you are running version 4.0 or higher of the Wayzn app by choosing &quot;About&quot; from the home page menu. Next, on the home page, select the tile for the Smart Pet Door that operates the door where you installed the Wayzn Pet Tag receiver. Once on the device page, use the ellipsis in the upper right corner to access the menu, then select &quot;Connected Devices&quot;.</p><p>&#xA0;</p><p><img alt="SNAG-0014.png" height="390" src="https://hsfiles.gorgias.help/gm/help-centers/17840/attachments/7d0628f3-78cc-44d3-ab66-498d28f20a42.png" width="430" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-2">Step 2</h4><p>Select &quot;Add Device&quot; to see the list of possible devices, then select &quot;Wayzn Pet Tag&quot;. If you&apos;ve already installed and powered your Wayzn Pet Tag receiver you can select &quot;Continue&quot; to proceed.</p><p>&#xA0;</p><p><img alt="SNAG-0017.png" src="https://hsfiles.gorgias.help/gm/help-centers/17840/attachments/edde4f44-1ff6-45b4-a047-65d366e9a650.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-3">Step 3</h4><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Before you can add your first tag you must activate the receiver. To activate the receiver, hold the button on top of the receiver until the light on top of the receiver turns blue. After a slight delay the app will take you to the next step.</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Note: This receiver activation step is only required when adding your first tag, and the app will automatically bypass this step when adding additional tags.</span></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-4">Step 4</h4><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">After your receiver is activated, the app will prompt you to insert the supplied battery into the tag. Inserting the battery puts the tag into pairing mode for 30 seconds. <strong>If you have previously inserted the battery, remove it and re-insert it now to place the tag into pairing mode</strong>.</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">To remove the tag from the strap, gently stretch the strap to release the posts on all four edges until you can pull the tag from the strap.&#xA0;</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Once the tag enclosure is removed from the strap, open it by using your fingernails or a small screwdriver to separate the two halves. Start at one end and work your way around the enclosure in circles until the enclosure opens. Insert a new CR2032 battery into the battery compartment with the plus sign facing you as pictured.</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;"><img alt="WPT_Tag_with_battery.png" height="209" src="https://hsfiles.gorgias.help/gm/help-centers/17840/attachments/02be4dc6-1e80-47e7-9a44-ccfe911f0685.png" width="210" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></span></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-5">Step 5</h4><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">After installing the battery, replace the enclosure cover so that the long post of the enclosure base and the long post of the enclosure cover are aligned with one another. Apply gentle sideways pressure on the cover as you press down to remove any air. Continue gently working the two halves of the enclosure together until you achieve a snug fit with no gaps along the seams.</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Next, re-insert the tag into the tag strap. First, make sure the logo on the inside of the strap and the logo on the enclosure are both facing you and oriented the same way, as pictured.</span></p><p><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/uploads.gorgias.io/qgaXzxaEEBoxvDWO/Pet_Tag_tag_and_strap_orientation-ac5ef4fa-ba07-482e-9b8c-4b0a7a04f6f0.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Then insert the tag into the strap, starting with the long post at the bottom of the tag, as shown.</span></p><p><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/uploads.gorgias.io/qgaXzxaEEBoxvDWO/Pet_Tag_tag_partially_inserted_in_strap-f28cc344-a869-466d-944b-b342dd9c8592.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-color-black" style="color: #000000;">Finally, stretch the strap around the edges of the tag until the remaining posts sit flush with the outside of the strap as pictured here.</span></p><p><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/uploads.gorgias.io/qgaXzxaEEBoxvDWO/Pet_Tag_tag_inserted_in_strap-fb10b0bd-2ff0-43b2-b94a-74b0f3eeff37.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"></p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="step-6">Step 6</h4><p>After checking for new firmware the Wayzn app will notify you that your tag is ready for use.

When prompted, enter the desired name and click <strong>Save</strong>. &#xA0;&#xA0;</p><p class="wysiwyg-indent1">&#xA0;</p><h4 class="wysiwyg-indent1" id="adjust-your-tags-responsiveness">Adjust your tag&apos;s responsiveness</h4><p class="wysiwyg-indent1">The <strong>Responsiveness</strong> slider controls how responsive the receiver will be when detecting the tag nearby. &#xA0;You can adjust the responsiveness for each tag individually. Moving the slider to &quot;Low&quot; will require your dog to sit or stand near the receiver for more time before the system responds, thus reducing the likelihood of the door opening when the dog is simply passing by. It may also require your pet to move slightly or even approach the area more than once before it is detected. Moving the slider to &quot;high&quot; will make the system respond faster but will increase the possibility of the door opening when the dog is simply passing by. Note: This setting may take time to reach the receiver, so changes may not take effect immediately.</p><p class="wysiwyg-indent1">&#xA0;</p><h4 class="wysiwyg-indent1" id="monitor-your-tags-battery-health">Monitor your tag&apos;s battery health</h4><p class="wysiwyg-indent1">The health of the tag battery is shown at the bottom of the page.

Here&apos;s what you should know, and what to expect:</p><p><br></p><h4 id="isPasted">The tag battery must be changed periodically</h4><p>The health of the tag battery is shown at the bottom of the tag settings page, accessed via the &quot;Connected Devices&quot; menu item. If the battery health meter shows red it means the battery should be changed immediately. Follow these <a href="/hc/en-us/articles/10166104037005" target="_parent">instructions for changing the tag battery</a>.&#xA0;</p><p>If a tag is detected by the receiver and determined to have low battery health the Wayzn mobile app will provide a notification to your phone (if you have the Wayzn app closed or in the background, and you have <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/enable-notifications-221445">allowed notifications</a> in the app settings).&#xA0;</p><p><br></p><h4 id="the-led-may-blink-red">The LED may blink red</h4><p>When new firmware is available for your receiver or tags it will be downloaded from the Wayzn Smart Pet Door to the receiver. The system gives priority to tag detection, but approximately every 30 seconds it will spend a few seconds downloading the new firmware. The LED will blink red while downloading, and tag detection will not be available during the download. Transferring firmware from the receiver to the tag occurs when you change the battery and is explained in the <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/changing-the-tag-battery-222183">instructions for changing the tag battery.</a></p><p><br></p><h4 id="isPasted">It requires training and must be used with care</h4><p>Anytime you introduce a new technology it is important to slowly and carefully acclimate your pet. Wayzn Pet Tag is no exception. Re-entering the house unassisted may be a new behavior for your pet(s), so we suggest starting outside and building confidence that when the pet arrives the door will open. Watch for any signs of discomfort, anxiety, or fear, and immediately stop using the product if any of these symptoms are observed. For safety reasons, train your pet to immediately pass through the doorway completely when the door opens and not to delay action or sit or stand part-way through the opening. Operating the door with Wayzn Pet Tag unattended is a risky activity and failure to sufficiently train and monitor your pet using the system will put your pet at risk. If you have any doubts about your pet&apos;s ability to use the product safely, please discontinue use immediately and <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/contact">contact us</a> to arrange to return the product for a refund.</p><p><br></p><h4 id="it-is-for-secure-yards-only">It is for secure yards only</h4><p>Wayzn Pet Tag automates your Wayzn Smart Pet Door so your pet can exit and enter your home without your assistance. Giving your pet control over the door reduces security, thus Wayzn Pet Tag should only be used in secure yards. If you have any concerns at all about the safety of your home or pet, do not use Wayzn Pet Tag. Instead, please <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/contact">contact us</a> to arrange to return the product for a refund. If you notice your pet&apos;s tag is missing, immediately <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/delete-and-remove-wayzn-pet-tag-237112">remove the tag from the Wayzn app</a> until it is recovered or replaced.</p><p><br></p><h4 id="it-may-not-respond-instantly">It may not respond instantly</h4><p>Your Pet Tag receiver has to listen for tags, but it also needs to periodically check in with your Wayzn Smart Pet Door and the Wayzn cloud, which it does approximately every thirty seconds. This administrative handshake process takes about ten seconds and is necessary to check for new firmware or changes you make to your tag&apos;s settings in the Wayzn app. If this process is running when the tag approaches the receiver you may notice a slight lag before the door opens. Don&apos;t worry, it will open before long and your pet will quickly learn that sometimes a short wait is needed.</p><p><br></p><h4 id="were-here-to-help">We&apos;re here to help!</h4><p>If you encounter any problems with Wayzn Pet Tag <u>please discontinue using it immediately</u> and review the <a href="https://help.wayzn.com/en-US/wayzn-pet-tag-troubleshooting-guide-222159">Wayzn Pet Tag troubleshooting guide</a> for solutions to common issues.
