4.1 Charging the Devices

Both the remote transmitter and receiver collar use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Use the provided Y-splitter USB charging cable to charge both devices simultaneously.

1. Connect the Y-splitter USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
2. Plug one micro-USB end into the charging port of the remote transmitter.
3. Plug the other micro-USB end into the charging port of the receiver collar.
4. Charge for approximately 3-4 hours until fully charged. The indicator lights will change to indicate full charge (refer to device indicators for specific behavior).

Note: A full charge typically provides up to 2 weeks of use, depending on frequency.

4.2 Turning On/Off

• Remote Transmitter: Press any button to activate. It will automatically enter standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to save power.
• Receiver Collar:
  • To Turn On: Press and hold the power button on the receiver until the working indicator light illuminates.
  • To Turn Off: When the working indicator is not shining, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the working indicator flashes twice, then release.

4.3 Pairing the Remote and Receiver

The remote and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed or if you are adding additional collars:

1. Ensure both devices are fully charged and turned off.
2. Turn on the remote transmitter. Select the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) using the channel switch button.
3. Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
4. Within 10 seconds, press the "Shock" or "Vibration" button on the remote transmitter.
5. If pairing is successful, the receiver's indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid for a moment, then flash slowly.
6. To pair additional collars, repeat the process, selecting a different channel on the remote for each new collar.

4.4 Fitting the Collar

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective and safe operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.

Image: Visual guide for adjusting the collar strap and selecting the appropriate contact screw length (6mm or 14mm) to ensure proper fit for dogs of various sizes, from 10 to 150 lbs.

1. Ensure the collar is off.
2. Select the appropriate length of contact screws (6mm or 14mm) based on your dog's coat length. Longer screws are for thicker coats.
3. Attach the chosen contact screws securely to the receiver.
4. Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned underneath the neck.
5. Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
6. The collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours a day to prevent skin irritation. Regularly check your dog's neck for any signs of irritation.

5. Operating Instructions

The DIGOO PPT1 offers three training modes: Beep, Vibration, and Static Stimulation.

Image: Visual representation of the three training modes: Beep (default level 0, not adjustable), Vibration (levels 1-100), and Static Shock (levels 1-100). A note advises to start with level 1 and gradually increase intensity.

5.1 Beep Mode

• Press the Light/Sound Button on the remote.
• The receiver will emit an audible beep sound.
• This mode is ideal for giving warnings or attracting your dog's attention. The beep level is fixed and not adjustable.

5.2 Vibration Mode

• Press the Vibration Button on the remote.
• Use the Up/Down Buttons to select a vibration level from 0 to 100.
• The receiver will vibrate according to the selected intensity.
• Start with the lowest effective level and gradually increase if necessary.

5.3 Static Stimulation Mode

• Press the Shock Button on the remote.
• Use the Up/Down Buttons to select a static stimulation level from 0 to 100.
• The receiver will deliver a static pulse according to the selected intensity.
• Always start with the lowest effective level (level 1) and increase gradually. Use the included test light to verify static function.
• This mode should be used cautiously and only when necessary for correcting serious undesirable behaviors.

5.4 Remote Control Range

The remote control has an effective range of up to 330 yards (approximately 300 meters) in open areas. Environmental factors and obstacles can affect this range.

6. Training Tips

• Consistency is Key: Use the collar consistently for specific behaviors you want to correct.
• Positive Reinforcement: Always pair corrections with positive reinforcement when your dog performs the desired action.
• Start Low: Begin with the lowest effective stimulation level and only increase if your dog does not respond.
• Short Sessions: Keep training sessions short and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.
• Supervision: Never leave the collar on an unsupervised dog for extended periods.
• Not for Punishment: This device is a training aid, not a punishment tool. Use it responsibly and humanely.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the remote and receiver with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Regularly clean the contact points on the receiver to ensure proper function and prevent skin irritation.

7.2 Waterproofing

The receiver collar is designed to be waterproof, allowing your dog to swim or be in rainy conditions while wearing it. The remote transmitter is not waterproof and should be kept dry.
