units are equipped with
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries,
which are not memory sensitive and do not require
depletion before recharging. Although batteries come
partially charged from the factory, it is recommended
that they are given a full charge (about 12 hours)
before initial use.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2.
Plug the charger into a
standard electrical outlet.
3. Connect the splitter cable to
the charger and plug the
ends into the appropriate
units (small end in transmitter, large end in collar).
The SmartLED should light solid red while charging.
4. Charging is complete when the SmartLED turns
green (may take up to 12 hours).
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the battery
charging cables from the receptacles, securely
replace the rubber battery receptacle covers, and
test unit.
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE WHILE UNIT IS WET!
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on
average depending on use and care. Keep batteries away
from flammable substances. See page 20 for more infor-
mation on battery maintenance.
