5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Devices

Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar(s). Use the provided double-end USB charging cable. A full charge typically takes 2 hours.

• Connect the charging cable to a USB power adapter (not included) and a power outlet.
• Attach one end of the cable to the magnetic charging port on the receiver collar.
• Attach the other end of the cable to the charging port on the remote transmitter.
• The battery indicator on the devices will show charging status and full charge.

5.2 Attaching Contact Points and Fitting the Collar

Select the appropriate contact points (short or long) based on your dog's coat length. For dogs with thicker coats, longer contact points may be necessary to ensure proper contact with the skin. You can also use silicone conductive caps for added comfort.

• Screw the chosen contact points onto the receiver.
• Thread the nylon strap through the receiver.
• Place the collar on your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points touch the skin. The collar should be snug but not too tight; you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
• The receiver should be positioned centrally under your dog's chin or on the side of the neck.

5.3 Pairing the Remote and Receiver(s)

The devices are usually pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed or for additional collars:

• Turn on the receiver collar by pressing and holding its power button.
• Turn on the remote transmitter.
• Select the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) on the remote using the channel button.
• Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar until it enters pairing mode (indicated by a flashing light).
• Within 10 seconds, press the shock or vibration button on the remote. The receiver light will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
• Repeat for additional collars on different channels.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Remote Control Functions

• Power Button: Turns the remote on/off.
• Channel Button (CH): Switches between collar channels (1, 2, or 3) for multi-dog training.
• Beep Button: Delivers an audible tone to the collar.
• Vibration Button: Delivers a vibration stimulus to the collar.
• Shock Button: Delivers a static shock stimulus to the collar.
• +/- Buttons: Adjusts the intensity level for vibration and static shock modes (0-100 levels).
• Lock Button: Located on the back of the remote, prevents accidental button presses.

6.2 Training Modes (Beep, Vibration, Static Shock)

The collar offers three distinct training modes:

• Beep Mode: Provides an audible warning. Often used as a preliminary correction before vibration or shock.
• Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. Adjustable intensity allows for tailored correction.
• Static Shock Mode: Provides a static electrical stimulus. Use with caution and at the lowest effective level. This mode can be disabled by using silicone caps or by setting the level to 0.

Image: Illustration showing how to switch between Vibration Mode (activates beep and vibration) and Shock Mode (activates beep, vibration, and shock) by briefly pressing the 'M' button on the collar.

6.3 Automatic Bark Correction Mode

The collar can operate in an automatic bark correction mode, responding to your dog's barking without remote input. This mode typically uses a progressive sequence of corrections.

• Sensitivity Adjustment: The collar features adjustable sensitivity levels (e.g., 3 sensitivities for all dogs) to detect barking. Level 0 is often a test setting. Adjust based on your dog's barking habits and environment to avoid over-correction or under-correction.
• Progressive Correction: The system often employs a sequence, starting with a beep, then escalating to vibration, and finally static shock if barking persists. The intensity of each correction may increase progressively.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the collar strap and receiver with a damp cloth. Ensure contact points are free of dirt and debris.
• Battery Care: Charge the devices fully when the battery is low. For long-term storage, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place. Recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
• Contact Point Inspection: Periodically check the contact points for wear and tear. Replace if damaged.
• Strap Inspection: Check the nylon strap for fraying or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure secure fit.
• Storage: Store the collar and remote in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
