4.1 Charging the Devices

1. Connect the dual-head charging cable to both the Remote Transmitter and the Receiver Collar.

4.2 Attaching Contact Points

Select the appropriate length of contact points (long or short) based on your dog's coat thickness. The contact points must make direct contact with your dog's skin for effective correction.

• For dogs with short coats, use the shorter contact points.
• For dogs with thick or long coats, use the longer contact points.

4.3 Powering On/Off and Pairing

1. To power on the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar, hold the magnetic induction power switch on each device until the indicator light illuminates.
2. To power off, repeat the process until the indicator light turns off.
3. The devices are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed (e.g., after a full discharge or adding a second collar), follow the specific pairing instructions in the full manual. Generally, this involves holding a button on the receiver while the remote is in pairing mode.

5. Operating Modes

The Aetertek AT-919C-1 offers three distinct training modes: Sound, Vibration, and Static Correction. These can be used independently or in combination to achieve desired training outcomes.

5.1 Sound (Beep) Mode

• Use the dedicated Sound button on the remote.
• There are 10 adjustable beep sound levels. Start with a low level and increase as needed.
• Ideal for issuing warnings, calling your dog, or reinforcing positive behavior.

5.2 Vibration Mode

• Activate using the dedicated Vibration button on the remote.
• This mode offers 1 strong and humane vibration level.
• Effective for gaining your dog's attention or as a stronger warning than the sound mode.

5.3 Static Correction (Shock) Mode

• Engage with the dedicated Static Correction button on the remote.
• Features 10 levels of progressive static correction, adjusting both intensity and duration.
• Always start at the lowest level and gradually increase only if necessary. Use this mode for serious behavior issues that other modes have not corrected.

5.4 Automatic Anti-Bark Function

• The receiver collar includes an automatic anti-bark feature.
• This function can be switched ON or OFF as desired. Refer to the full manual for specific instructions on activating/deactivating this feature.

5.5 Dog Selection

If you have purchased a 2-Dog Kit or an additional receiver collar, you can switch between controlling Dog 1 and Dog 2 using the dedicated dog selection button on the remote transmitter.

6. Fitting the Collar

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for its effectiveness and your dog's comfort and safety.

1. Position the receiver on the center of your dog's neck, directly under the chin.
2. Ensure the contact points are touching your dog's skin. You may need to part thick fur to ensure good contact.
3. The collar should be snug, but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the collar strap and your dog's neck.
4. Avoid leaving the collar on for more than 12 hours a day to prevent skin irritation.

7. Training Tips

Effective training requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. The Aetertek training collar is a tool to aid in this process, not a substitute for proper training techniques.

• Start with Basic Commands: Ensure your dog understands basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' before introducing the collar for correction.
• Positive Reinforcement: Always reward desired behaviors with praise, treats, or affection.
• Consistency is Key: Use the collar consistently for specific behaviors you want to correct.
• Low Levels First: Always begin with the lowest effective correction level and only increase if necessary.
• Short Training Sessions: Keep training sessions short and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the receiver collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure all components are dry before storage or next use.
• Skin Check: Inspect your dog's neck daily for any signs of irritation or sores from the contact points. If irritation occurs, discontinue use until the skin heals.
• Battery Care: Fully charge the devices when not in use for extended periods to prolong battery life.

9. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure both the remote and receiver are fully charged. Check the charging cable and adapter.
• No Correction: Verify the receiver is powered on and the contact points are making proper skin contact. Increase the intensity level gradually.
• Remote Not Controlling Receiver: Re-pair the remote and receiver according to the full manual's instructions. Ensure they are within the specified range.
• Dog Not Responding: Check the collar fit and ensure the correction level is appropriate for your dog's temperament and the situation. Re-evaluate training methods.
