Setup Guide
1. Charging the Devices
Before initial use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the collar receivers. Use the provided charger and cable. The charging ports are typically covered by a rubber flap to ensure waterproofing on the receiver.
- Connect the charger to a power outlet.
- Plug the charging cable into the charging port of the transmitter and each receiver.
- Allow devices to charge until the indicator light signals a full charge (refer to specific light indicators in the operating section if available on device).
2. Attaching the Collar Receiver
Proper fit of the collar receiver is crucial for effective and humane training. The contact points must touch the dog's skin.
- Thread the adjustable PU dog collar strap through the receiver unit.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned underneath the neck.
- Adjust the strap snugly. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. The collar should not be too loose, as this can cause inconsistent contact and irritation from rubbing.

3. Pairing Transmitter and Receiver(s)
The system allows for training one or two dogs. Each receiver must be paired to a specific channel on the transmitter.
- Turn on the transmitter and the receiver(s).
- On the transmitter, use the "One button to change dog mode" (often labeled '1/2' or similar) to select the desired dog channel (Dog 1 or Dog 2).
- Follow the specific pairing instructions in your device's quick start guide, which usually involves holding a button on the receiver while the transmitter is in pairing mode. Note: Some users report that collars may unsync after charging, requiring re-pairing.
4. Testing the System
Before using on your dog, test the functions of the collar.
- Sound and Vibration: With the receiver on, press the sound or vibration buttons on the transmitter. You should hear a beep or feel the receiver vibrate.
- Static Stimulation: Use the provided test bulb. Place the test bulb's wires across the two contact points on the receiver. Select a low static stimulation level on the transmitter and press the static stimulation button. The test bulb should light up, indicating the static function is working.

Correction Modes
The AT-919C offers three distinct correction modes:
- Sound (Beep): Delivers an audible tone from the receiver. This is often used as a warning or for positive reinforcement. There are 10 adjustable levels for the number of beeps.
- Vibration: Causes the receiver to vibrate. This can be used as a gentle reminder or a precursor to static stimulation. The system features a strong level of vibration.
- Static Stimulation (Shock): Delivers a static pulse. This mode has 10 progressive levels, adjustable in both intensity and duration, allowing for precise control based on your dog's temperament and the training situation.
Using the Remote Transmitter
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button to turn the transmitter on or off.
- Dog Channel Selection: Use the dedicated button (e.g., '1/2' or 'Dog Mode') to switch between Dog 1 and Dog 2 channels if training multiple dogs. The selected channel will be displayed on the LCD.
- Adjusting Levels: Use the up/down arrow buttons (often on the side or near the LCD) to adjust the intensity level for static stimulation or the number of beeps for sound. The current level will be shown on the LCD.
- Activating Corrections: Press the corresponding button for Sound, Vibration, or Static Stimulation to deliver the chosen correction to the active dog channel.
- Flashlight: The transmitter includes a flashlight feature for use in low-light conditions. Activate it using its dedicated button.
- Auto Anti-Bark Function: The system has an auto anti-bark function that can be toggled on or off. Refer to your device's specific instructions for enabling/disabling this feature.
Effective Training Tips
- Start with the lowest effective level for static stimulation and gradually increase if necessary.
- Use corrections consistently and immediately after the undesirable behavior.
- Combine corrections with verbal commands and positive reinforcement.
- Never use the collar for punishment or aggression. It is a training tool to aid communication.
- Limit the duration of static stimulation to avoid over-correction.
- Do not leave the collar on your dog for extended periods (more than 12 hours) to prevent pressure necrosis.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Aetertek AT-919C training system.
- Cleaning: Clean the collar receiver and transmitter with water as needed. Ensure charging ports are sealed before cleaning the receiver. Use a soft cloth to wipe down surfaces.
- Battery Care: The devices use Lithium Ion batteries. Handle them with care. Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery packs. Recharge when the battery indicator is low to maintain battery health.
- Contact Points: Regularly inspect the contact points on the receiver for dirt or corrosion. Clean them gently if necessary. Ensure they are securely attached.
- Strap Inspection: Check the PU collar strap for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure secure fit.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the system in a cool, dry place. Ensure devices are fully charged before long-term storage to prevent battery degradation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver not responding to transmitter. | Low battery on receiver or transmitter; Receiver not paired or unsynced; Out of range. | Charge both devices fully. Re-pair the receiver with the transmitter (refer to Setup Guide). Ensure you are within the 1100-yard range. |
| Inconsistent or no static stimulation. | Poor contact with dog's skin; Collar too loose; Contact points dirty or damaged. | Adjust collar for a snug fit, ensuring contact points touch the skin. Clean contact points. Ensure dog's fur is not interfering. |
| Anti-bark function triggers without barking or doesn't trigger with barking. | Sensitivity setting too high/low; External noises; Collar movement. | Adjust the anti-bark sensitivity if possible (check device manual). Ensure collar is snug. Test in a quiet environment. |
| Battery drains quickly. | Aging battery; Frequent use; Not fully charged. | Ensure devices are fully charged before use. If battery life significantly degrades, consider contacting support for battery replacement options. |
| Remote range is shorter than advertised. | Environmental interference (buildings, dense foliage); Low battery. | Ensure devices are fully charged. Test in an open area. Obstacles like walls and fences can reduce effective range. |
