Setup
1. Choosing and Attaching Contact Points
Select the appropriate length of contact points based on your dog's coat length. For shorter coats, use the shorter points; for longer coats, use the longer points to ensure proper contact with the skin. Screw the chosen contact points firmly into the receiver collar. For shock-free training, you can remove the metal probes and use the silicone caps.

2. Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote control and the receiver collar. Use the provided USB charging cable and wall adapter. The dual USB cable allows simultaneous charging of both devices. An indicator light on each device will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
3. Fitting the Collar
Proper collar fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort. The collar should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck. The contact points must make direct contact with the dog's skin. Avoid leaving the collar on your dog for more than 4 hours a day to prevent skin irritation.
4. Pairing the Receiver and Transmitter
If your collar is not responding, you may need to resync it with the transmitter. Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Turn off the receiver. Press and hold the button on the receiver for 5 seconds until the red light turns off.
- Step 2: Put the receiver into sync mode. Press and hold the button on the receiver again for 5 seconds. The green light will flash rapidly, indicating it's in sync mode.
- Step 3: Pair receiver and transmitter. While the receiver's green light is flashing, simultaneously press the TONE and VIBRA buttons on the remote control. The receiver's light will turn solid green, indicating successful pairing.

Operating Modes
The PetSpy P620 offers three distinct training modes, each with 16 adjustable stimulation levels to suit your dog's temperament and training needs. The remote features blind operation, allowing for intuitive use without looking at the device.
1. Tone Mode
The tone mode emits an audible beep. This mode is ideal for conditioning your dog to respond to commands without physical stimulation. It can be used as a warning or a positive reinforcement signal.
2. Vibration Mode
The vibration mode delivers a non-harmful vibration to the receiver collar. This mode is effective for gaining your dog's attention and can be used for various training commands. It is often a good starting point before considering static correction.
3. Static Correction Mode
The static correction mode delivers a mild static pulse. With 16 adjustable levels, you can find the appropriate intensity for your dog. This mode is intended for correcting unwanted behaviors and should be used responsibly and as a last resort after other modes have been attempted.

Important Safety Information & Usage Guidelines
To ensure the safety and well-being of your dog, and to maximize the effectiveness of the training collar, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Do not keep the collar on your dog for over 4 hours a day. Prolonged wear can lead to skin irritation.
- Use the collar only for short training sessions, typically 10-15 minutes at a time.
- Ensure you can fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The contact points must maintain consistent contact with the skin.
- Do not attach a leash to the training collar. Always use a separate, traditional collar for leash attachment.
- Cover contact points with silicone caps if you are not using the static correction mode or if your dog has sensitive skin.
- Store the receiver collar in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Check and clean your dog's neck daily at the contact point area to prevent irritation.
- Clean the receiver with a damp cloth daily to maintain hygiene and performance.
- The device is waterproof, allowing for training in wet conditions, but proper drying and maintenance are still recommended.

- Storage: Store the collar and remote in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
