Setup
1. Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge both the Remote Transmitter and the Receiver Collar. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging ports on both devices and plug into a suitable USB power source. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 40 hours of battery life.
2. Fitting the Receiver Collar
Proper fit of the Receiver Collar is crucial for effective training. The collar should be snug, yet comfortable, allowing one finger to fit between the strap and your dog's neck. The contact points on the collar should touch your dog's skin. If your dog has long or thick fur, you may need to trim the fur around the contact points to ensure proper contact.

3. Pairing (if necessary)
Your Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are typically paired from the factory. If they are not communicating, refer to the detailed pairing instructions in the full user manual (link provided in Additional Resources section).
Operating Instructions
Training Modes
The PetSafe Remote Trainer offers three distinct training modes:
- Tone: An audible sound used as a warning or positive reinforcement.
- Vibration: A gentle vibration, useful for gaining your dog's attention without static stimulation.
- Static Stimulation: 15 adjustable levels of static stimulation, allowing you to find the appropriate level for your dog's temperament. Higher levels have a safety lock feature.
Using the Remote Transmitter
The remote features intuitive buttons for each mode. Press the corresponding button to deliver the desired correction or command. The large font display shows the current stimulation level and battery status. Always start with the lowest static stimulation level and increase gradually until your dog responds.
The 100-yard range allows for effective training in various close-range environments, such as your home or a local park.

Troubleshooting
If your PetSafe Remote Trainer is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:
- No Response from Collar: Ensure both the remote and collar are fully charged. Verify the collar is properly fitted with contact points touching the dog's skin. Check if the remote and collar are paired correctly.
- Reduced Range: Low battery levels can affect range. Ensure both devices are fully charged. Environmental factors or interference may also play a role.
