USING THE STIMULATION BUTTONS
Tri-Tronics Remote Trainers offer two types of stimulation,
“continuous” and “momentary” (Classic 70
XLS and Trashbreaker
Ultra XLS offer only continuous stimulation).
Continuous Stimulation
The timing of continuous stimulation is controlled by the
trainer. Continuous stimulation stays on while the
transmitter button is pressed, up to the “time out” period,
described below.
Momentary Stimulation
The duration of momentary stimulation is pre-set.
Momentary stimulation stays on only very briefly, no matter
how long the button is pressed. To produce a second momen-
tary correction, press the button again. To produce a series of
momentary corrections, press the button for each correction.
Instantly Selectable Intensity
Most Tri-Tronics Remote Trainer models have more than one
stimulation button. This feature allows the trainer to choose
instantly among low, medium, and high stimulation. This
selection feature applies to either continuous or momentary
stimulation, or to both, depending on the model.
Being able to select low, medium, or high stimulation by
touch, using buttons, means that you do not need to look at
the transmitter when you select intensity levels – you can
keep your eyes on the dog at all times. It also means that
intensity changes are instantaneous. These features are an
advantage in many training situations.
Time-out Period
The time-out period is approximately nine seconds. If the
collar times out, release the button briefly to restore collar
function. Please see the chart on the next page for the
features of your model.
SETTING THE INTENSITY
Your Remote Trainer can give corrections at different intensity
levels, so you can match the level of correction to both the
training situation and your dog’s temperament.
There are two ways to adjust intensity levels while training.
One way is to use the intensity knob on the top of the
transmitter, as explained in this section. All Tri-Tronics
Remote Trainers give you this method of adjusting
stimulation intensity.
The other way is to use the transmitter buttons, as explained
on page 13. This method does not apply to the Classic 70
XLS ,
Trashbreaker Ultra XLS or Field 90.
The transmitter intensity gives you a choice of 6 intensities.
Intensity Knob Levels
Level N: Transmitter is off – no stimulation or tone
when a button is pressed
Level T: The stimulation button produces tone instead of
stimulation
Level 1: Very low intensity
Level 2: Low intensity
Level 3: Medium intensity
Level 4: Medium-high intensity
Level 5: High intensity
Level 6: Very high intensity
Release the stimulation button when increasing or decreasing
intensity using the intensity knob.
If you are not experienced at using Remote Trainers, there are
intensity selection tips in the training booklet and video that
came with your Remote Trainer.
