Setup

Charging the Devices

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging ports on both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar.
2. Plug the USB cable into the power adapter and then into a standard wall outlet.
3. The LED indicator on both devices will show charging status (e.g., red light while charging, green light when fully charged).
4. Allow approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge.

Attaching the Collar Strap

Thread the adjustable nylon collar strap through the slots on the receiver collar. Ensure the strap is securely fastened.

Fitting the Receiver Collar

• Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck so that the contact points are positioned underneath, making direct contact with the skin.
• Adjust the strap to a snug fit. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. A loose fit will reduce the effectiveness of the static stimulation.
• Trim any excess strap length if necessary.

The remote and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed:

1. Ensure both devices are charged and turned off.
2. Turn on the remote transmitter.
3. Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar until the LED indicator flashes rapidly.
4. While the receiver LED is flashing, press the Action Button on the remote transmitter.
5. The receiver's LED will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

Selecting Contact Points

Choose the appropriate length of contact points based on your dog's coat length:

• Short Contact Points: For dogs with short coats.
• Long Contact Points: For dogs with thick or long coats to ensure proper skin contact.

Operating the Device

Turning On/Off

• Remote Transmitter: Press any button to activate. It will automatically enter sleep mode after a period of inactivity.
• Receiver Collar: Press and hold the power button until the LED indicator lights up (to turn on) or turns off (to turn off).

Training Modes

The PetTech PT0Z1 offers four training modes:

Image Description: A circular graphic titled '4 MODES' detailing the different functions of the collar. These include: Light (indicates power, pairing, and channel status), Beep (use as positive reinforcer), Vibration (use as negative marker), and Static Shock (for use in extreme situations only to prevent harm to dog or others).

1. Light Mode: Activates an LED light on the receiver, useful for locating your dog in low light conditions.
2. Beep Mode: Emits an audible tone from the receiver. Can be used as a positive reinforcer or a warning signal.
3. Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. Effective as a negative marker to interrupt unwanted behaviors.
4. Static Shock Mode: Delivers a static stimulation. This mode should be used with extreme caution and only in situations where other modes are ineffective, to prevent harm to your dog or others. Always start at the lowest intensity level.

Press the Mode button on the remote to cycle through these options. The selected mode will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Adjusting Intensity Levels

For Vibration and Static Shock modes, you can adjust the intensity:

• Use the + and - buttons on the remote to increase or decrease the intensity level.
• Start with the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds without showing signs of excessive stress or fear.

Training Multiple Dogs

The PetTech PT0Z1 system supports training up to two dogs simultaneously with additional receiver collars (sold separately).

• Ensure each receiver collar is paired to a different channel on the remote.
