SySTEM PROBLEMS
Problem #1: No stimulation when a transmitter button is pressed.
The receiver has not been activated. The receiver must be switched on or it won’t work at all.
The receiver has not been set to your transmitter. Follow the instructions on page 24.
The transmitter intensity dial is set on “N,” “T,” or “A.” Select a numbered position.
The batteries in either the receiver or the transmitter are dead. Recharge or replace, as needed.
The batteries are not taking a charge. Either you need new batteries or the charging system is not working. See whether the
charging adaptor or cradles light is glowing red while connected to the charger. The power may not be working. Try another
wall outlet. If using a power strip, make sure it is switched on and working.
You are using the wrong transmitter. If you own more than one Tri-Tronics transmitter or train with someone who has
a Tri-Tronics product, check that you have not accidentally switched transmitters.
Problem #2: The Remote Trainer doesn’t have range, or the range has been significantly reduced.
Either you or the dog is shielded by a metal structure. Metal fences, chain link dog enclosures, screen doors, buildings,
and other metal structures can affect the radio signal. Operate the Remote Trainer away from these structures.
The receiver is on backwards. For best range, position the receiver so that the light faces toward the dog’s nose.
You’re experiencing temporary radio interference. Radio signals from nearby CBs and walkie talkies can reduce range.
Wait a short while then try again, or move to another area.
Problem #3: The stimulation seems too high, not high enough, or the dog does not seem to feel it at all.
The collar strap is not tight enough. The collar should be snug. Contact points must press against the dog’s skin to provide
ef
ficient, consistent stimulation.
The intensity position is not correct. The ideal intensity level depends on the dog and the training situation. Try a different level.
Also note that in very cold weather, you may need to use a slightly higher setting to achieve the same level of intensity.
