If you press the locator button, it will make the pet's locator beep. The closer you get, the faster the beep will sound.

The closer you get to the cat the louder it beeps, and the longer the lines on the display become. All in All it is a good device and we have had to use it on several occasions.

Yes, the beeping intensifies as you get nearer and nearer to the cat, so you can tell if you're going in the right direction or not.

The beeps gets faster when the cat is closer. Your friend won't be able to see the lights on the device but the sound will be very useful.

Yes, it beeps faster when it is pointed towards the cat. it should work very well fora blind person, I should think. The only problem that I have had is when I have had to change the batteries, I have had a terrible problem getting it working again.

When used in conjunction with the receiver it beeps as you get near. The transmitter (what your looking at here) beeps at the same rate. The receiver, not included in this package, beeps faster the closer you get. You can also turn off the receiver beeping allowing you to just hear the transmitter (on the cat) beeping (which might be useful if your friend is looking in the house for the cat). Once you get within a few feet of the cat the receiver does seem to shutoff. It figures you've found the cat. We normally use ours to find the cat outside, but we've also used it to find the cat in the house as well. Hope this helps.

The Smart Key is approx. 4cm across in diameter. So it might be too big for a normal size cat. The battery shut off very often. The range is only 10 meters. You need therefore to be within 10 meters to sound the key.

The beeper is not very loud, but your pet hears it well. If the light is blinking, it's working fine. Just look for the light to to tell you when to put on the charger. Thanks, Don.

Surprisingly, this beep is a deal breaker for me. My cat just HATES those beeps. Good to know about them.

It all depends on the distance from the sensor to the object. Close up it would detect both. At a certain distance it would not detect cats but detect humans. I'm guessing that would be greater than 20' or 30' or so.

Yes. It beeps. Plus it beeps faster (and blinks faster) with a stronger field. The adjustment for sensitivity is also better than other comparably priced brands. The other brands I tried had poor sensitivity, and some with push button on, you basically could not tell it they were even on half the time. The GreenLee GT-16 is the best one of several I tried. And I use it often.

Yes mine will pick up the occasional cat but typically the alarm will sound only once for animals/people, twice for cars.

Hi, this is Alex from Toronto. In response to your question, unfortunatelly the "gadget" doesn't have GPS capabilities, so you will not be able to locate your cat:( There are some with GPS function and they cost about $300.00...always cheaper in the USA. I hope this helps.Alex alexsolis@hotmail.com

The beep is loud enough to hear from a distance. It does not screech. My house is about 60 feet long and I could hear it from one end to the other. I could also hear it when my keys were placed behind some walls. It works well.

Yes it does, a nice simple one. I only wish it didn't beep every time you change the setting, drives the dog crazy!

No, it does not make a sound, however, the cat or dog will quickly get accustomed to the time it will open. A few times I did not realize that battery was dead and my cat jumped on the bed to let me know his food was not available when it should have been. He liked to eat about 5-5:30 a.m. I like to sleep at that time, but he was not going to let me shirk my duties. I think this is a terrific product.

You have to push the button when you want it to measure the distance, and then it does beep.hope this helps..

If your intent is to keep track of your dog, this isn't the answer. It only has a 60 foot range so your dog would have to be very close by. Furthermore, the beep is fairly soft so you might not be able to hear it if your dog isn't very close by.

What I can tell you is that when on the setting between 5 and 6, the collar begins to beepwhen the cat is approx 8 feet away, and seems to increase when 3 feet away. The setting max is 8.

Mine is in my attic but the dog/cats don't seem to notice it. I can only hear a faint click if I really listen by attic access.

The tag on the pets collar can not be set to mute, however it is a very faint high pitched beep that you can only hear within about 15 feet or so if all is quiet. It doesn't bother my cat at all and I believe it might even help because when they hear they know we are looking for her to come and then she gets fed. She is very big on the food reward system. If you wanted to acclimate your cat to the sound I would put it by her bowl and activate it when you feed her for a few days so the sound has a positive association with it. The hand held locator is how you will find your pets location anyhow and not really through the beeping or light. It is a very useful product.

yes - the "PSST" sound one would make (like trying to startle someone) works. Has to be loud though. we discovered this by one of my brothers trying to startle our cat. turned the tv off while my dad was watching. and back on, then off -- you can imagine we had some fun messing with my dad when he watched TV. Actually worked more consistently than the clapping we found
