BEEPER
Compatible with Sport®65 BPR, Sport UplandTM G3, Upland G2,
Upland G2 E P, and all other G2 and G2 E P Field
and Pro Series Model Remote Trainers
The Tri-Tronics Beeper
The Tri-Tronics Beeper lets you know where your bird dog is hunting and when
he goes on point. The Beeper has a wide choice of settings to suit different hunting
styles and individual preferences. You can also keep track of several dogs at one
time by the settings you select.
If you purchased an Upland G2 or Sport®65 BPR G2, your Beeper can be turned
on and off from a distance with your transmitter. Therefore, you can leave the
beeper off most of the time, and only turn it on when hunting conditions require it.
If you own anyTri-Tronics G2 Field or Pro Series model, you can also use your
transmitter to turn the Beeper on or off from a distance. If you own any other
make or model of remote trainer or you plan to use the Beeper by itself with no
remote trainer, you cannot turn your Beeper on or off from a distance, but your
Beeper will have all other functions.
Quick Guide
1.Beeper battery.
One 9-volt alkaline battery is already installed. When it is time to change the
battery, install it in the correct direction and do not force a battery into the
compartment.
2.Beeper modes.
You have a choice of volume, range/point or point-only modes, four run tones,
and two point tones. To change the preset modes, move the DIP switches inside
the battery compartment.
3.Collar strap.
The Beeper is designed to be installed on a Tri-Tronics product collar strap or on
any other Remote Trainer having a 1-inch collar strap that fits the Beeper. The
Beeper will ride best on the dog's neck if you use a remote training collar or
dummy collar to counterweight the Beeper.
4.Beeper power switch.
The Beeper power must be on for the Beeper to operate and for the remote on/off to
operate. Press the round power switch located on the rear surface of the Beeper.
You will hear two tones and the Beeper light will begin flashing. The Beeper will
begin beeping as soon as its power is turned on. To save Beeper battery life, turn
the power switch off after use. If you want the Beeper to be silent until you begin
hunting, turn it off with your Upland G2 or Upland G2 EXP, Sport Upland™ G3
or Sport®65 BPR G2, or with any other Tri-Tronics G2 Field or Pro
Series transmitter.
5.Beeper fit.
Buckle the Beeper snugly on the dog with the Beeper on top of the dog's neck.
The power switch should face towards the dog’s tail.
6.Training collar turned on.
(Tri-Tronics models with remote Beeper activation)The collar must be activated for
you to be able to turn your Beeper on and off remotely. The transmitter intensity
dial must be set as described in #7 and #8.
7.Remote turn on/off.
(Upland G2 and Upland G2 EXP, Sport Upland™ G3 and Sport®65 BPR G2)
Pressing the beeper control button turns the Beeper on or off from a distance.

See the section “Beeper Control Button” for the location of this button for your
model. Note that the transmitter intensity dial must not be on “N” or “T.”
8. Remote turn on/off:
All otherTri-Tronics G2 and G2 EXP Field and Pro Series models. Pressing any
transmitter button turns the Beeper on or off from a distance. Tone confirms “on”
and “off.” Note that your dial must be set on “A.”
9. Beeper orientation.
The Beeper and the remote training collar must be directly across from each other
as shown in the illustration for the remote on/off feature to work.
10. Locate feature.
(Upland G2 and Upland G2 EXP, Sport Upland™ G3 and Sport®65 BPR)
To locate your dog when the Beeper is silent, press and hold the Beeper button.
You will hear several tones.
Beeper Settings
Volume Control:
Two settings – Low or High
Modes:
Range/Point or Point-only.
In the range/point mode, the Beeper sounds once every 5 seconds while the
dog is running, and sounds once every 1 second when the dog goes on point. In
point-only mode, the Beeper is silent until the dog goes on point, then sounds
once every 1 second.
Run Tones:
Single Beep, Double Beep, Triple Beep, or Tracking Tone.
You may select one of four tones as your “run tone.” The tracking tone reflects
some of the actual hunting motion of your bird dog, much like the jingle of the
traditional bell. Note that using the tracking tone will shorten battery life. Your
hearing and your personal preference will determine which run tone you prefer.
You can distinguish among several dogs hunting at the same time by setting each
dog's Beeper on a different run tone.
Point Tones:
Single Beep or Hawk Scream.
You may select one of the these two tones as your “point tone.” Your hearing and
your hunting preference will determine which point tone you prefer.
Changing Beeper Settings
1.Open the battery compartment.
Hold the Beeper upside down and unscrew the four Phillips head screws on the
bottom. Slide the battery compartment cover along the collar strap to expose the
battery compartment and the Beeper DIP switches.

2.Set the DIP switches.
Hold the Beeper so that the switches are on the top
edge of the compartment. You do not need to turn
the Beeper off to change the settings or to make the new
settings take effect. The switch is indicated by the dark
in the diagram section
To select your settings, set the switches in the positions
shown in the diagram below. All switches except the
volume switch make a confirming “chirp” when their
positions are changed. Replace the battery cover when done.
Installing or Changing the Beeper Battery
Open the battery compartment, as described in “Changing Beeper Settings.”
Install a Panasonic, Duracell or Eveready 9-volt alkaline battery. The battery can
only be installed in the correct direction. Note that some other battery brands will
be too long and will not fit correctly. Never force a battery into this compartment.
Installing and Adjusting the Beeper on a Collar Strap
The photos below show how to install the Beeper on a collar strap. Adjust the
position of your Beeper on the strap for the size of your dog. It should ride
directly across from the remote training collar when placed on your dog, with
the Beeper on the top of the dog's neck and the collar underneath his neck.
The collar strap may be cut off to fit your dog’s neck. Never cut the strap until
both the Beeper and remote trainer are installed on the strap.

Introducing an Inexperienced Dog to the Beeper
The Beeper is loud. It can startle or alarm an inexperienced dog at first. If your
dog isn't used to beeper collars, begin hunting him with the Beeper set on low
volume instead of high volume. You can also muffle the sound by placing duct
tape over the horn, or a cotton ball in the horn. Another technique for getting
a dog used to beeper collars is to hang a beeper at least 20 yards away from the
dog's kennel, and let him listen to it beeping for several hours before you put
it on him and hunt.
Care and Maintenance
Remove the Beeper from the collar strap for thorough cleaning. You can wipe
the Beeper with a damp cloth and mild detergent if desired. Do not use any
solvents as they can cause damage. Do not submerge the Beeper when cleaning it.
Dirt and debris can cause the Beeper sound to change. To clean debris from the
Beeper horn, use only a moistened cotton swab. Do not use any sharp or pointed
objects or damage to the horn may result.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem #1.
The Beeper does not make any sound when the power switch
is turned on.
The battery in the Beeper has run down. Replace as needed. Note that
leaving the Beeper turned on when not in use will extend its battery life.
Also note that using the tracking tone will shorten battery life.
Loose battery connection. Gently pull the metal tabs in the battery
compartment to hold the battery more firmly.

turn the Beeper on or off.
