Setup
Charging the Devices
Before initial use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar. Connect the USB charging cord to each device and a compatible USB power source. Charging typically takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 40 hours of battery life.
Fitting the Collar
Proper collar fit is crucial for effective and safe operation. The collar should be placed on the narrowest part of your dog's neck, high up, just behind the ears. This ensures consistent contact with the skin and prevents the collar from slipping down.
- Position the receiver module centrally on the underside of your dog's neck.
- Adjust the strap so that it is snug, but not overly tight. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the contact points and your dog's skin.
- Ensure the contact points make direct contact with your dog's skin. If your dog has a thick coat, you may need to part the fur or use the longer contact points provided to ensure proper contact.
- The collar strap is designed to be trimmed to fit your dog's neck. However, if your dog is still growing, consider waiting to trim the strap until they reach their full size.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding to remote. | Low battery on remote or collar; out of range; improper contact point placement. | Charge both devices. Ensure you are within the 300-yard range. Adjust collar fit to ensure good skin contact. |
| Dog not responding to stimulation. | Stimulation level too low; poor contact; dog's coat too thick. | Increase stimulation level gradually. Re-fit the collar to ensure proper skin contact. Consider using longer contact points if your dog has a thick coat. |
| Collar slipping or moving. | Collar is too loose. | Tighten the collar strap. Ensure one finger fits snugly between the contact points and the dog's skin. |
| Battery not holding charge. | Battery degradation; faulty charging cable/adapter. | Ensure proper charging connection. If issues persist, contact customer support for battery replacement or warranty information. |
