their orientation to one another. Also, if you operate the
transmitter while it’s clipped to your belt or in your
pocket, the range will be significantly reduced.
NOTE: Keep your thumb and fingers away from the top
area of the transmitter. Any obstruction in this area will
drastically reduce the range.
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 /
2
- 5 to indicate increasing strength
of intensity.
# 1 /
2
blue (lowest) # 1 – brown # 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
Companion to tighten the contact points.
There is no need to remove the contact points when
the collar is not in use.
IMPORTANT: Check both contact points for tightness
every time you put the collar on the dog.
