Setup Guide
1. Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the collar receiver for approximately 2 hours. Use the provided USB charging cable. The devices can be charged simultaneously.

Figure 2: Both the remote and collar receiver can be charged at the same time using the included USB cable.
Important: Do not charge the product in high-temperature environments.
2. Fitting the Collar Receiver
Proper fit of the collar receiver is crucial for effective operation and your dog's comfort. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin. Choose the appropriate contact points (short or long) based on your dog's coat length.
- Ensure the collar is snug, but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck.
- Position the receiver unit centrally on your dog's throat, with the contact points underneath.
- Regularly check the fit to prevent pressure sores. Do not leave the collar on for more than 12 hours per day.

Operating Instructions
Training Modes
The Petrainer PET916 offers three distinct training modes to suit various training needs and dog temperaments. Use the 'Mode' button on the remote to cycle through them.

Figure 4: Visual representation of the three training modes: Beep, Vibration, and Static Shock.
- Beep Mode: Produces an audible tone. This is often used as an initial warning or for positive reinforcement. It has a standard, non-adjustable tone.
- Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. This mode has 0-100 adjustable levels, allowing for precise control over the intensity. It's effective for attention-grabbing without static stimulation.
- Static Shock Mode: Provides a static stimulation. This mode also has 0-100 adjustable levels. It should be used cautiously and at the lowest effective level, typically for more stubborn behaviors or as a last resort. Always test the static level on your arm before applying to your dog.
Adjusting Intensity Levels
For Vibration and Static Shock modes, use the Up/Down buttons on the remote to select an intensity level from 0 to 100. Start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds. The goal is to get your dog's attention, not to cause pain.
Remote Range and Waterproof Feature
The remote control has a range of up to 330 yards (approximately 1000 feet), allowing for training in various environments, including open fields. The collar receiver is 100% waterproof (IPX7 rated), meaning your dog can wear it while swimming or playing in water without damage.

Figure 5: The remote offers a range of up to 1000 feet, allowing control even through walls.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the remote and collar receiver with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the devices frequently. Recharge when the battery indicator is low. Store in a cool, dry place if not used for extended periods.
- Contact Points: Periodically check the contact points for corrosion or damage. Ensure they are clean and free of debris.
- Strap Inspection: Inspect the TPU strap for wear and tear. Replace if damaged to ensure secure fit.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding to remote. | Low battery on either device; devices not paired; out of range. | Charge both devices. Ensure they are properly paired (refer to pairing instructions if available, or general pairing steps for similar devices). Move closer to the dog. |
| No static stimulation. | Contact points not touching skin; intensity level too low; test bulb not working. | Adjust collar fit. Increase intensity level. Use the test bulb to verify static function. Ensure contact points are clean and appropriate length for dog's coat. |
| Collar turns off unexpectedly. | Low battery; automatic sleep mode. | Recharge the collar. Some models have an automatic sleep mode to conserve battery; press the power button on the collar or activate a function from the remote to wake it up. |
