Installing the Collar Batteries. To install the two
2 /
3
A 3-volt lithium batteries in the collar, unscrew
the battery compartment end cap. Use the contact
point wrench. Slide the batteries into the compartment
as shown in the illustration on page 4. The positive
end of both batteries goes in first, as indicated on
the receiver’s case.
Inspect the
rubber O-ring
on the end cap
every time
you change
batteries. Make
sure it is still
there and is
not cracked.
Then screw
the battery
compartment
end cap back
into the collar, tightening it with the wrench provided.
Tighten the battery cap until
the raised plastic ridge is
approximately “horizontal,”
as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: New lithium batteries
may cause the collar to produce
higher stimulation than normal,
which could startle your dog.
We recommend that immediately
after installing new batteries, you “time-out” the collar
using continuous stimulation four or five times before
putting the collar on the dog. To “time-out” the collar,
press and hold the transmitter button. After about
ten seconds, the red LED in the collar will change
from being on continuously to blinking once per
second. Release the transmitter button. Wait a
moment, then repeat the process.
Check the O-ring that
seals the collar battery
compartment for
signs of wear.
