STEVE SAYS: I have used every version of this product since Tri-Tronics came out with it in 1998. So far, this is my favorite of the bunch. It's louder and I can hear it better. It also gives you the remote features of the Upland Special when you add it to any of the Tri-Tronics G3 Field and Pro collars using the "A - on the dial" feature. This allows you to easily turn your remote trainer into a Remote Beeper Trainer combo.
Beeper collars are for use with pointing dogs. The Accessory Beeper is an independent speaker horn that attaches to the remote training collar strap. The Accessory Beeper uses a motion sensor to tell you what your dog is doing. You will be able to tell if your dog is running on standing on point.
The "A" on the dial feature allows you to turn the beeper on and off from the handheld transmitter. You can also remotely operate the locate feature which makes it cycle through a series of beeps to help you locate your dog.

The Tri-Tronics G3 / G2 Compatible Accessory Beeper is for bird hunters who want a convenient, inexpensive way to know where their dogs are and what they are doing, whether they're in heavy cover or rolling terrain. The Accessory Beeper has some
unique advantages over other models on the market.
The Accessory Beeper can be used alone or added as an accessory to G3 and G2 Field and Pro Series systems. It can be turned on or off and the locate feature can be activated remotely from your transmitter by turning the rotary dial to the "A" position.
When you already have a G3 Field or Pro collar, by adding the Accessory Beeper you can now have a remote controlled beeper trainer combo using the "A" function on your transmitter dial. This allows you to turn the beeper on and off from your transmitter and use the "locate" feature by holding the button down to make the beeper go off constantly if you are trying to locate your dog.
The Accessory Beeper will not work remotely with Sport series collars. If you prefer the transmitter size of the Sport collars, look at the Tri-Tronics Sport Upland G3 which includes a remote beeper.
There's no extra box riding underneath the dog's neck. Everything, including the replaceable 9-volt battery, is contained in one small compartment that rests on top of the neck and slides onto the 1-inch wide collar strap that is included. What Tri-Tronics customers like is that the Accessory Beeper will slide onto many of the older Tri-Tronics collar straps. This means that both a Tri-Tronics electronic collar and beeper can be fitted on the dog with only one strap needed - a big plus since space on the neck is such a premium.
If you plan to use the Accessory Beeper without a remote collar, you will need a counter weight to keep it on the back of your dog's neck. I recommend the Tri-Tronics Dummy collar as an option.
The Accessory Beeper can also be used with any other brand of electronic collar that doesn't already have a beeper.
There are no wires to break between the beeper and the electronic collar. The Accessory Beeper is an independent unit. It's easy to attach, easy to use, and easy to remove when you don't need it.
The features are plenty in such a small, lightweight device. Two modes of operation are available at the flip of a switch. The Point/Range Mode beeps every five seconds when the dog is moving, once every second when he's on point. The Point Mode beeps only when the dog is on point; it's silent when he's running.
The sound is safely directed away from your dog's ears and is distinctly audible up to 400 yards away. The sound is easy to distinguish even when three dogs are running at the same time - one can be set on a single beep mode; the other on double; the third triple.
The best feature of all is that the Accessory Beeper comes with Tri-Tronics' reputation for the highest standards in reliability and quality. It's backed by a one year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
