BATTERY CARE
The Sport
®
Series Remote Trainers have rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries in the collar, and one
replaceable 9-volt battery in the transmitter. The collar
battery should be recharged periodically, as described below.
The transmitter battery will last for many months, or even
years, depending on usage.
Transmitter Battery
Your Sport
®
Series transmitter is shipped with one 9-volt
battery installed. If you see the transmitter light flash rapidly
when a button is pressed, it is time to replace the
transmitter battery.
To change the battery, unscrew the small Phillips head screw
on the back of the transmitter, and lift the battery cover off.
Remove the old battery and install the new battery in the
correct direction. Use a Panasonic, Duracell or Eveready
standard (not “ultra”) 9-volt alkaline battery. Note that some
batteries will be too long and will not fit correctly. Never
force a battery into this compartment.
Replace the battery cover, tighten the Phillips head screw
(do not over-tighten), and check for transmitter function
by pressing a button while you watch the transmitter light.
If the light does not illuminate, you may have installed the
battery backwards. If so, take it out and turn it around.
The larger battery
terminal should
touch the larger
transmitter contact.
