This ON/OFF command only works
when the Transmitter and Receiver are
close together; it will not work at a
distance. Never turn the system on or off
while your dog is wearing the collar
Auto Shut Off
When the Receiver is on and doesn’t
receive any commands from the
Transmitter for 6 straight hours, it will
automatically shut itself off. This feature
saves Receiver battery power for field
work, rather than using it up doing
nothing. Follow Power Up instructions
(bottom of column on previous page) to
turn the Receiver on.
ReadyTest ™ Self Test
When you remove the Receiver from the
charging cradle, it automatically goes
into ReadyTest
™ (a diagnostic self-test)
for 5 seconds. The Receiver’s internal
diagnostics check the battery charge
level (the Receiver Light indicates battery
charge level) and checks that all circuits
are working. Do not touch the metal
contacts during this test. ReadyTest
™
gives you confidence that your Receiver
is working properly, and is ready to go.
After the Receiver passes ReadyTest
™ , it
shuts itself off. If ReadyTest ™ fails, the
unit will sound a 20-second tone, the
light will glow solid red for 20 seconds
and then shut off. Follow Power Up
steps in the previous column to turn the
Receiver back on. A Receiver that fails
ReadyTest
™ will not respond to the
Transmitter’s commands. To retest the
Receiver, place the Receiver back on
the charger for 5 seconds, then remove
it. D

Fitting the Collar and Receiver
The collar strap should fit snugly towards
the top of your dog’s neck with the
receiver on the bottom of the neck.
Check that the GunDog ® logo is right
side up. You should be able to get one
finger between the collar strap and your
dog’s neck. The contacts must touch
the dog’s skin for proper operation. A
little hair thinning may be required. D

Occasionally, check the tightness of the
contacts to ensure they will not be lost
from the Receiver. Lost parts are not
covered under your warranty.
Trim excess strap. You’ll want to leave
about 2 inches of excess strap. N
No otte e if
your dog is young and you expect it to
grow, you’ll want to leave extra strap to
allow for future collar fastening.
Replacement straps are available from
Cabela’s.
N No otte e:: Dogs’ coats are as unique as
dogs themselves. You may wish to try
the longer contacts if your dog has a
very heavy coat. Be certain your dog
can feel stimulation before training
