3. Un-hibernate the Neckbands
To un-hibernate (or turn ON) a neckband:
Hold the supplied magnet near the LED indicator (as shown) for around 3 seconds.
. Wait and listen for the neckband to play a rising tones tune.
Note, these tones are very quiet and may be difficult to hear in a noisy environment.
. Once the tune has finished, the LED indicator will start blinking.
The colour of the LED will depend on the neckbands state. For more information on the LED colours and
states please see Neckband Status LED p. .
For reference: to hibernate or turn off a neckband, follow a similar process.
. Hold the magnet near the LED indicator and keep it there.
. The neckband will emit 5 short beeps, one every second.
. After the 5th beep, the neckband will play a descending tune, and the LED will stop blinking.
4. Automated Network Connection
Once the base station and the neckbands are operational, the system begins an automated network connection process. This
process can take several hours while messages flow to and from the neckbands to establish a regular communication cadence.
eShepherd System Preparation
SECTION 
Once the eShepherd hardware has arrived on your property, the base station and the neckbands need to be installed and
prepared for first use.
. Base Station Installation
To install the base station, please follow the base station installation guide. When the base station is installed and
operational, the neckbands can begin their system connection process.
The state of the base station can be checked by looking at the LED indicators on the cellular router.
Please contact your eShepherd representative to confirm that the base station is online.
2. Neckband Preparation
Neckbands arrive in lots of 4 in cardboard boxes and are in a state of ‘hibernation’ – which is equivalent to being turned off.
At the earliest convenience, neckbands should be unboxed and placed in a sunny location near or in the yards where
they will be fitted to the animals. The neckband battery will be solar charged any time it is exposed to sunlight, even when it
is hibernated.
Once the base station is operational, neckbands can be un-hibernated so that they can commence the network connection
process to the base station. Make sure the neckbands are within range of the base station.
