RD-400 Premium Tracking System

Understanding the Collar Transmitter
The collar device sends a radio frequency signal to the receiver. The
user can cast the receiver from right to left to determine direction of
the transmitter. The transmitter features 16 channels across 4 radio
frequency bands. The waterproof transmitter operates on a long-life 3-
volt lithium battery.

Programming Channels
1. Hold the magnet key to the red dot as if you are turning ON the
transmitter, and continue to HOLD the keychain magnet after the LED
glows green.

2. The LED turns YELLOW for 1 second, then OFF for 0.5 seconds.
The LED will flash YELLOW once for each channel count, to a maxi-
mum of 16. Take away the keychain magnet when the desired count is
reached.

3. After a few seconds, the LED will repeat/confirm the count with a
series of YELLOW flashes.

4. The LED will then flash GREEN. The transmitter is now in opera-
tional mode.

NOTE: The transmitter will automatically return to the channel at
which it was programmed when it was turned OFF.
EXCEPTION: When the battery is replaced, the transmitter will default
to Channel 1 of the band manually selected (see next section).

Programming Bands
Select 1 of 4 bands by positioning the switches inside the battery com-
partment. Switches must align as illustrated in this table:

normal operations (60 to 90F operating temperature), a low battery is
