shoulders or by perking up his ears. If the dog vocalizes, you need
to go to a lower level.
You control the length of the stimulation by the time you press the
button. For a short stimulation, press and release the button. For a
longer stimulation, hold the button down. A maximum of 10
seconds may be applied before the safety feature to prevent over-
correction engages. After 10 seconds, stimulation will be locked
out for another 10 seconds.
A press of the Boost button sends a signal to the collar to issue
a correction two levels higher than the currently selected level. For
example, if the stimulation level is set at Level 2, a touch of the
Boost
control will correct at Level 4. Some trainers like instant
access to a higher setting for circumstances where the dog may
not respond to lower levels, such as around high distraction. The
system will not correct higher than level 9.
Tone Option
The Tone
button sounds a tone in the collar. No stimulation is
delivered when this button is pressed. The tone continues for as
long as the button is held down. Tones can help strengthen a dog’s
response to training. Tones can be used as a warning tone prior to
pressing the stimulation button; or can be a reward tone when
presented with a praise, play, or food for good behavior.
The use of training tone is optional. Its use varies between popular
training methods. Whether the tone will mean reward or warning
to your dog is up to the training method you choose. Remember:
the one training tone CANNOT be both a warning and a reward.
To learn more about tone training, consult a qualified canine
training professional.
Low Battery Indicator
Your remote will tell you when the battery is low. The display will
flash “L” when you press the Tone button or either of the
stimulation buttons. Your remote will continue to function
following the first sign of low battery. Replace with one 12v
alkaline battery (23A or A23) as soon as possible.
Note: Cold temperatures may lead to premature low battery
signal. The LCD display may also be slow to respond. Suggestion:
carry your remote close to your body; your body’s warmth may
improve this cold-weather condition.
Understanding the Collar
The lightweight, comfortable electronic collar is integrated into a
sleek, fashionable collar strap your dog wears.The collar produces
a harmless yet effective stimulation and emits a training tone. The
collar is waterproof and is safe for your dog to wear even while
swimming. The collar is rechargeable; the collar’s light glows red
while charging and it glows green once charging is complete.
The collar uses a light to let you know its status. See table on page 6.
Charging the Collar
The collar charging station has been designed to plug into a
standard 220-v wall outlet and act as a charging stand for your
collar.
Plug in the wall charger. Position the collar in the charging cradle.
The collar fits in the cradle with the contacts facing down through
the holes in the case. A built-in safety circuit prevents the unit from
overcharging.The collar’s light glows red when the collar is properly
seated and charging; it will turn green when charging is complete.
The collar will achieve a full charge in 2-3 hours. Each charge can
last up to 100 hours of continuous use.
Battery Caution: Do not charge your collar every night. Frequent
charging can have a negative effect on your collar’s battery. We
recommend the collar be used until the collar light blinks red.
ReadyTest ™ feature
When you remove the collar from the charging cradle, the unit will
automatically go into self-test mode for about 8 seconds. The
collar’s internal diagnostics will check that the battery charge
