their orientation to one another, etc. Also, if you operate
the transmitter while it’s clipped to your belt or in your
pocket, the range will be significantly reduced.
Contact Points.
The collar has two
contact points
installed. They
deliver electrical
stimulation to
the dog’s neck
when the
transmitter
button is pressed.
The black point
should remain on
the collar except
during cleaning. The other colored points are “variable
intensity contact points” that affect the strength of
electrical stimulation. One of these points is used
with the black one.
The black point has female threads and the colored
points have male threads, so they can’t be installed in
the wrong location.
The variable intensity contact points are color-coded,
and numbered 1-5 to indicate increasing strength
of intensity.
# 1 – brown (lowest) # 2 – red # 3 – orange
# 4 – yellow # 5 – green (highest)
The contact points must be more than finger-tight,
but use only the plastic tool that comes with the
Sportsman to tighten the contact points.
There is no need to remove the contact points when
the collar is not in use. Leaving them in the collar does
not drain the batteries.
IMPORTANT: Check both contact points for tightness
every time you put the collar on the dog.
