Safety Information

Your Dogtra product should be used only in a humane manner to train and educate your dog. Dogtra products are not intended for use in any other manner nor are they intended for use with other animals or with humans. Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time is not recommended. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods, occasionally reposition the receiver so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck. Make sure to check your dog’s neck each time you use the unit.

Initial Charging:

Before first use, fully charge both the transmitter and the receiver collar. The system includes 2 Lithium Polymer batteries. Use the provided charger and splitter cable to charge both units simultaneously. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.

Fitting the Receiver Collar:

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin. Ensure the collar is snug enough so that the contact points do not move around on the dog's neck, but not so tight as to impede breathing or cause discomfort. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly under the collar strap.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Dogtra iQ Plus system, handle it with care. Avoid submerging the units in water beyond their waterproof rating. Clean the units using only mild cleaning agents. Regularly inspect the contact points on the receiver collar for any debris or corrosion, and ensure they are clean for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dogtra iQ Plus, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No stimulation: Ensure both the transmitter and receiver collar are fully charged. Check that the contact points are making proper contact with your dog's skin. Use the provided test light to verify stimulation output.
• Reduced range: Environmental factors such as terrain, weather, and electrical interference can affect range. Ensure the antenna on the transmitter is not obstructed.
• Collar not responding: Re-pair the transmitter and receiver collar according to the full user manual instructions. Check battery levels.
• Skin irritation: If skin irritation occurs, immediately remove the collar and consult a veterinarian. Ensure the collar is not worn for extended periods and is properly fitted.
