Note: When the unit indicates that the battery is low (battery icon on the Digital

it is time to recharge the unit. If the battery pack is very low (i.e. been used too
long or stored for an extended period of time) it may take some time for the unit to
indicate that charging has started. If the unit does not indicate that it is charging after
1 hour, please contact the Customer Care Centre.
Battery Life
Average battery life is 3 to 6 months, depending on how often your dog barks.
However, due to greater use during your dog’s training, your fi rst battery charge
may not last as long. To conserve battery life, turn the Bark Control Collar off when
not in use.
Fit the Bark Control Collar
Important: The proper fi t and placement of your Bark Control Collar is important
for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s
skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Bark Control unit is off.
2. Have your dog standing comfortably (A).
3. Place the Bark Control Collar on your dog’s neck close to
the ears. Centre the Contact Points underneath your dog’s
neck, touching the skin (B).
