Additional information and frequently asked questions about Huan and the Pet Protection Network.
Is there a range limit for Huan Tags?
Huan tags are small Bluetooth transmitters with a very long range. However, in an urban environment, the range is typically between 300 to 400 feet, as buildings, cars and other people can sometimes block or weaken the signal. Once the signal from your pets' tag reaches a Huan Sensor or another Huan user, it is instantly relayed to your phone, notifying you of your pets' whereabouts. As the Huan Pet Protection Network grows, we will be able to cover larger areas across the country, essential

What happens if my pet is missing or lost?
Huan is designed to detect missing pets automatically. Huan calculates the distance and time that has passed since your pet was last "seen" by the network, and can eliminate false alarms by keeping track of friendly users such as dog walkers who will pick your pet up from your home, even if they are not registered as co-owners.

How long does the battery last?
All Huan Tags ship with a special, high capacity coin-cell battery which is designed to hold extra power. In addition, we have carefully optimized the tag operation to ensure maximum signal strength and reliability while ensuring battery usage is kept to a minimum. Huan Tags are expected to last about 10 months to a full year between battery changes. Battery life can also be affected by other factors such as weather, battery freshness or brand.
