Controlling the Beeper with the
Transmitter (Upland Special and Sport 65 BPR)
On the Upland Special, the light on the top of the transmitter is
a push-button that controls the Beeper. On the Sport 65 BPR the
beeper button is the small orange button on the transmitter.
Pressing the Beeper button turns the Beeper on or off from a
distance. The distance is the full range of your unit (one mile for
the Upland Special, one-half mile for the Sport 65 BPR). Three tones
confirm that the Beeper is on, and three different
tones confirm that it is off.
Note that to turn the Beeper on or off remotely:
•
The training collar must be activated
(see your Remote Trainer Owner's Guide).
•
The transmitter intensity knob must be
on a number other than zero.
•
The Beeper power must be on.
Introducing an Inexperienced
Dog to the Beeper
The Beeper is loud. It can startle or alarm an inexperienced
dog when first used. If your dog isn't used to beeper collars,
begin hunting him with the Beeper set on low volume instead
of high volume. You can also muffle the sound by placing duct
tape over the horn, or a cotton ball in the horn. Another technique
for getting a dog used to beeper collars is to hang a beeper about 20
yards away from the dog's kennel, and let him listen to it beeping
for several hours before you put it on him and hunt.
Care and Maintenance
Remove the Beeper from the collar strap for thorough cleaning.
You can wipe the Beeper with a damp cloth and mild detergent
if desired. Do not use any solvents as they can cause damage.
Do not submerge the Beeper when cleaning it.
Dirt and debris can cause the Beeper sound to change. To clean
debris from the Beeper horn, use only a moistened cotton swab.
Do not use any sharp or pointed objects or damage to the horn
may result.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM #1. The Beeper does not make any sound when the
power switch is turned on.
The battery in the Beeper has run down. Replace as needed.
Note that leaving the Beeper turned off when not in use will
extend its battery life. Also note that using the tracking tone
will shorten battery life.
PROBLEM #2. Pressing the beeper control button on
the transmitter does not turn the Beeper on or off.
The Beeper power switch is off. Turn the Beeper power switch on.
