Setup and Pairing
1. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the collar. The collar does not come with a USB Dual splitter charging cable; this must be purchased separately if you do not already have one from your main system.
2. Pairing with Remote
If the green LED light on the collar is flashing continuously, it indicates the collar is in unpaired mode. To pair the collar with your Pet Control HQ remote control:
- Ensure both the collar and the remote are powered on.
- Refer to your main Pet Control HQ system user manual for specific pairing instructions. Generally, this involves holding a button on the collar while activating a pairing function on the remote.
- Important Note: Some users have found it helpful to point the remote antenna directly towards and touch the round light on the side of the collar during the pairing process for successful connection.

3. Fitting the Collar
The collar strap is adjustable for dogs with an 8-27 inch neck circumference. Ensure a snug fit that allows two fingers to comfortably slide between the collar and your dog's neck. The contact points should make consistent contact with the dog's skin.

Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
To turn the collar unit on or off, press and hold the power button for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Operating Modes
The collar typically operates in two modes, indicated by the LED flash pattern:
- Mode 1 (Two flashes every few seconds): Wireless fence only. Battery lasts approximately 9 days.
- Mode 2 (One flash every few seconds): Both remote training and wireless fence. Battery lasts approximately 3 days.
To change modes, hold the button for 3-4 seconds. As soon as the charge LED turns red, release the button, and the mode will change.

3. Boundary Containment
When your dog approaches the boundary wire of your Pet Control HQ fence system, the collar will activate with 3 levels of automatic progressive correction. The system includes an 8-second auto-shut off to prevent overcorrection.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Clean the collar with water as needed. Ensure the contact points and the area around them are kept clean to maintain proper function and prevent skin irritation for your dog.
2. Charging
Recharge the battery when the LED power-gauge indicator light shows low battery. Always turn off the unit before charging.
3. Waterproof Care
The collar is IPX7 waterproof. While it can withstand submersion, it is recommended to dry the collar and your dog's neck after swimming to prevent skin issues.

Troubleshooting
- Collar not pairing: If the green LED flashes continuously, the collar is unpaired. Refer to the "Setup and Pairing" section and your main system's manual. Ensure the remote antenna is pointed towards the collar's light during pairing.
- Collar not functioning (no correction):
- Check battery level and recharge if necessary.
- Ensure the collar is properly paired with the remote or the fence transmitter.
- Verify the collar is in the correct operating mode (Mode 2 for remote training and fence, Mode 1 for fence only).
- Ensure contact points are making proper contact with your dog's skin.
- Inconsistent fence operation: This replacement collar relies on your existing Pet Control HQ fence system. If the issue persists, check the main fence transmitter and boundary wire for any breaks or inconsistencies.
