Setup
1. Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar. Use the provided wall charger and dual USB charging cable.
- Connect the charging cable to the charging ports on both the remote and the receiver.
- Plug the wall charger into a standard electrical outlet.
- Charging indicators (LEDs) will illuminate during charging and typically change color or turn off when fully charged. Refer to the specific LED behavior section for details.
2. Attaching the Collar Strap and Contact Points
- Thread the adjustable strap through the receiver unit.
- Select the appropriate metal prongs (contact points) based on your dog's fur length. Use shorter prongs for short-haired dogs and longer prongs for long-haired dogs to ensure proper skin contact.
- Screw the chosen prongs securely onto the receiver.
3. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
- Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned underneath the neck.
- Adjust the strap so that it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. Proper fit is crucial for consistent contact and effectiveness.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary.
4. Testing the Static Correction (Shock) Function
Use the provided test light to verify the static correction function before placing the collar on your dog.
- Ensure the receiver is turned on.
- Hold the test light's metal wires across the receiver's contact points.
- Press the 'L' (Low shock) or 'H' (High shock) button on the remote. The test light should illuminate, indicating the static correction is working.
Operating Instructions
Remote Control Overview
- ON/OFF Switch: Located on the side of the remote. Use this to power on/off the remote and to lock the buttons to prevent accidental activation.
- V1 / V2 Buttons: Activate vibration for Dog 1 or Dog 2 (if using a second collar, not included in this 1-dog system).
- V Button (Center): Activates vibration for both Dog 1 and Dog 2 simultaneously.
- L1 / L2 Buttons: Activate Low static correction for Dog 1 or Dog 2.
- H1 / H2 Buttons: Activate High static correction for Dog 1 or Dog 2.
- LED Lights: Indicate power status, battery level, and signal transmission.
Using the Training Modes
The system offers two primary training modes: Vibration and Static Correction (Shock).
- Vibration Mode: Press the 'V1' button (for Dog 1) to deliver a humane vibration. This is often used as an initial warning or for sensitive dogs.
- Static Correction (Shock) Mode:
- Press the 'L1' button for a Low level static correction. This is suitable for small or sensitive dogs.
- Press the 'H1' button for a High level static correction. This provides a more noticeable jolt for larger or more headstrong dogs.
Note: The receiver delivers a single correction per button press. Holding the button down will not result in continuous correction.
Effective Range: The remote operates effectively up to 600 feet. Environmental factors, such as terrain, weather, and electromagnetic interference, can affect the actual range.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote and receiver with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Care: Recharge the devices regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully depleting the battery for extended periods.
- Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Water Resistance: The receiver is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand splashes or light rain. It is not designed for swimming or submersion. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not activating/no response. | Low battery on remote or receiver; devices not paired; out of range; improper collar fit; contact points not touching skin. | Charge both devices; ensure devices are powered on and paired (refer to pairing instructions if available, though not explicitly detailed in product description); move closer to dog; adjust collar fit; ensure contact points are making good contact with dog's skin. |
| Static correction seems weak or ineffective. | Improper collar fit; long fur obstructing contact; low battery. | Adjust collar for snug fit; use longer contact points for long-haired dogs; ensure battery is fully charged. |
| Remote buttons are unresponsive. | Remote is off or locked. | Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position and not in the locked position. |
