Setup
1. Charging the Devices
Before initial use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the collar receiver. Use the provided dual battery charger. A full charge typically takes 2 hours. Ensure the charging indicator lights function correctly during this process.
2. Attaching Contact Points
Select the appropriate contact points (5/8 inch for shorter coats, 3/4 inch for longer coats) to ensure proper skin contact. Use the contact point removal tool to securely attach them to the receiver collar. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently but do not overtighten.
3. Fitting the Collar Receiver
Proper fit of the collar receiver is crucial for consistent stimulation. The collar should be snug enough that the contact points make reliable contact with your dog's skin, but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict breathing. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. The collar strap is adjustable and includes a D-ring for leash attachment if desired. This system is suitable for dogs weighing 5 pounds and larger, with neck sizes between 6 and 30 inches.

Operating Instructions
1. Turning On/Off
Refer to the specific buttons on your remote transmitter and collar receiver for power functions. Typically, a long press on the power button will turn the device on or off.
2. Adjusting Stimulation Levels
The remote offers 100 levels of static stimulation. Use the dial or designated buttons to increase or decrease the intensity. Start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds. The 'lock and set' feature allows you to lock the chosen stimulation level to prevent accidental changes during training.
3. Training Modes
- Momentary (Nick): A very brief static stimulation.
- Momentary Boost: A brief static stimulation at a higher intensity than the set level.
- Continuous: Static stimulation that lasts as long as the button is pressed (up to a safety cut-off).
- Continuous Boost: Continuous static stimulation at a higher intensity.
- Vibration: Provides a non-static tactile sensation.
- Tone: Emits an audible sound from the receiver.
Consult the owner's manual for specific button assignments for each mode.
4. Remote Functions
- LED Light: Activate the LED light on the receiver collar remotely to locate your dog in dark environments.
- Beeper Feature: Use the remote to activate a beeper on the receiver collar for easy location.
- Lost Transmitter Beeper: If the remote is misplaced, a specific function can activate a beeper on the remote itself.
5. Using the PetsTEK Training Clicker
The included PetsTEK training clicker is a tool for positive reinforcement. Use it to mark desired behaviors immediately, followed by a reward, to help your dog understand what actions are being praised.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean the collar receiver and remote transmitter with a damp cloth. Ensure contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function. The devices are waterproof, but it is recommended to dry them thoroughly after exposure to water.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid overcharging and completely draining the batteries frequently. Store the devices in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you notice a significant decrease in battery life, it may indicate the need for battery replacement or service.
3. Contact Point Inspection
Periodically inspect the contact points for wear or damage. Ensure they are securely attached. If your dog shows signs of skin irritation, consult a veterinarian and consider using hypoallergenic contact points, which may be available from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Charging: Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the device and a power source. Check the charging cable for damage. If issues persist, the charging cable or battery may need replacement.
- No Stimulation/Inconsistent Stimulation: Verify the collar receiver is properly fitted and the contact points are making good skin contact. Check the stimulation level on the remote. Ensure the remote and receiver are adequately charged and within range.
- Remote Durability Concerns: The remote transmitter is designed to be impact-resistant, but extreme drops can cause damage. Handle with care. If the casing or antenna becomes damaged, contact customer support for repair options.
- Skin Irritation: If your dog develops skin irritation at the contact point area, remove the collar immediately. Consult a veterinarian. Ensure the collar is not worn for extended periods (more than 8-10 hours daily) and is repositioned frequently. Hypoallergenic contact points may be necessary.
- Lost Remote: Utilize the lost transmitter beeper mode if available, or retrace your steps in the training area.
