Setup Guide
1. Charging the Devices
Before initial use, ensure both the collar receiver and the remote transmitter are fully charged.
- Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the collar receiver.
- Connect the other end of the USB charging cable to the charging port on the remote transmitter.
- Plug the USB charging cable into the power adapter, then into a standard wall outlet.
- Allow both devices to charge until the charging indicator lights turn solid green or off, indicating a full charge. This typically takes a few hours.

2. Pairing the Remote and Receiver
The receiver and remote are typically pre-paired from the factory. If they are not responding to each other, follow these steps to re-pair them:
- Ensure both the remote and the collar receiver are turned off.
- Turn on the remote transmitter.
- Press and hold the power button on the collar receiver until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
- While the receiver light is flashing, press any mode button (Tone, Vibrate, or Shock) on the remote transmitter.
- The receiver light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

3. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit of the collar is crucial for effective and safe training.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned underneath, touching the skin.
- The collar should be snug enough that you can fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. It should not be too loose, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the static correction, or too tight, which could cause discomfort or skin irritation.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary to prevent snagging or chewing.

Operating Instructions
Training Modes
The Pet Union PT0Z1 offers four distinct training modes to suit various training needs:
- Tone (Beep) Mode: Provides an audible warning sound. Ideal for initial training and gaining your dog's attention.
- Vibration Mode: Delivers a gentle vibration. Useful for dogs sensitive to static or as a progressive step from tone. Adjustable from 1-100 levels.
- Static Stimulation Mode: Provides a static correction. This mode is only recommended for emergency situations and is not advised as a form of positive behavioral training. Use with caution and at the lowest effective level.
- Light Mode: Activates a light on the collar, useful for locating your dog in low-light conditions.
Adjusting Levels and Using the Remote
The remote transmitter features a large LCD display with a blue backlight for clear visibility day or night.
- Use the Mode button to cycle through the different training modes.
- Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the intensity level (1-100) for Vibration and Static Stimulation modes.
- Press the corresponding button (Tone, Vibrate, or Shock) to deliver the chosen correction.

Maintenance
Waterproofing
The collar receiver is fully waterproof, allowing your dog to swim or play in water without damaging the device. However, ensure the charging port cover is securely sealed before exposing the collar to water. The remote transmitter is not waterproof and should be kept dry.

Cleaning and Storage
- Regularly inspect your dog's neck for any signs of irritation or sores from the contact points. If irritation occurs, discontinue use until the skin heals.
- Clean the collar receiver and contact points with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- For optimal battery life, fully charge the devices at least once a month if not in regular use.
