TESTING
3. Turn the transmitter on by pressing the blue
button on the right side of the transmitter until
the LCD screen illuminates. The LCD screen
shows the amount of battery life remaining and
the LED blinks once every 4 seconds.
4. Watch the test light as you push the “Nick”
button on the transmitter. It should light for just
a moment.
5. Watch the test light as you push the “Constant”
button on the transmitter. It should light for as
long as the button is pressed. However, as a
safety feature, the collar/receiver will
automatically shut off stimulation if the
constant button is depressed for 12 seconds or
longer.
6. Turn the Rheostat Intensity Dial on the
transmitter clockwise and then
counterclockwise. The test light should glow
brighter with higher levels of stimulation and
dimmer with lower levels. When you change
the intensity dial, the number on the LCD
screen will change as well.
7. Pressing the “Pager” button on the front of the
transmitter causes the collar to vibrate for up to
12 seconds. The collar will reactivate when you
push the button again.
NOTE : The test light may not come on if the
intensity level is set below level ten.

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
The collar should be fitted so that the
Surgical Stainless Steel contact points press
firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be
able to fit a finger in between the contact point
and your dog’s skin.
A loose fit can allow the collar to move
around on the dog’s neck. When this happens,
the contact points may rub the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent and your
corrections will be inconsistent also.
