PARTS & FUNCTIONS
CAUTION
If the collar belt is too long, we recommend looping the ex-
cess collar belt back around through the buckle. We DO
NOT recommend cutting the collar belt. Cutting the collar
belt too short can drastically reduce the range of your collar
unit. However, the collar belt can be cut up to about 3
inches without affecting the range too much.
Collar Belt with MAXX-Range™ 360 Antenna - The
embedded MAXX-Range™ Antenna is woven into the
collar belt and runs along the entire length of the belt,
providing extended range without the drawback of an
external antenna. Because it wraps around the neck
along with the collar belt, the MAXX-Range Antenna
provides 360˚ degrees of signal reception and is not
blocked by your dog’s body, regardless of which
direction your dog is facing.
NOTE
The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into the charg-
ing receptacle. However, if water should get in, we recom-
mend rinsing out the charging receptacle and allowing it to
dry, especially after use in salt water. This will prevent pre-
mature corrosion in the metal pins inside that make contact
with the charger plug.
Battery Charging Receptacles - The charger cables
plug into the Charging Receptacle for recharging
(located on the side of the Collar Receiver facing the
dog’s neck). After charging, always close the Charg-
ing Receptacle with the rubber plug to prevent
foreign particles from getting inside the unit.
