Now set the lower rocker switch to HI. Press and hold
the stimulation button. The collar LED will glow slightly
longer, then return to blinking once per second. The
transmitter LED will stay on for about
1 /
2
second.
Note that in the momentary mode, it is normal for the
LED to continue to glow steadily for a few moments
after the button is released.
It is not necessary to tap the button for a brief pulse
of stimulation. The momentary mode does this for
you automatically. Press and release the button in a
natural fashion.
Deactivating the Collar. When you are through
practicing, press the on/off switch on the collar to
deactivate the collar. The LED will stop blinking. This
prevents unnecessary drain on the batteries.
Storing the Companion Between Training Sessions.
When you put your transmitter away, be sure the
stimulation button is not accidentally in the “on”
position, or you will drain your battery.
Understanding the Time-Out Feature.
The Companion is designed so that continuous
stimulation cannot stay on longer than about ten
seconds at a time. If the stimulation button is held
down for a longer period, the transmitter will
automatically “time-out” and turn off the stimulation.
When this happens, you can reactivate the transmitter
by releasing the button and then pressing it again.
IMPORTANT: If you press the button several times in
quick succession, you can time out the collar. If this
happens, you must reset the collar by turning it off
and then on again with the on/off switch. Always
wait one-half second or more after releasing the
button before pressing it again.
Range. The range of the Companion is approximately
200 yards in flat, open terrain. The range you achieve in
actual use depends on many factors – terrain, foliage,
humidity, metal fences, screen doors, antennas, and
