Safety Information
This product is intended for use with dogs only. Do not use on humans or other animals. Ensure the collar is properly fitted to avoid discomfort or skin irritation. Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day. Always start with the lowest stimulation level and gradually increase if necessary, observing your dog's reaction. Avoid using the maximum shock level initially.
Setup Guide
- Charge Devices: Fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collars before first use. Use the provided USB charging cable. An indicator light will show charging status.
- Power On: Turn on the remote transmitter and each receiver collar. Refer to the device's specific power button location.
- Pairing (if necessary): If the remote and collars are not pre-paired, follow the instructions in the included quick start guide to pair them. Typically, this involves holding a button on the collar while the remote is in pairing mode.
- Fit the Collar: Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck. Ensure the contact points touch the dog's skin. The collar should be snug enough for the contact points to make reliable contact, but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause discomfort. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Adjust Contact Points: For dogs with thicker coats, ensure the contact points are long enough to penetrate the fur and make contact with the skin. Silicone caps are provided to dull the sensation if needed.
Operating Instructions
The remote transmitter provides control over the training modes and intensity levels. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and display before beginning training.
- Selecting a Dog (for 2-dog system): Use the channel switch on the remote to select which dog's collar you wish to activate (Dog 1 or Dog 2).
- Training Modes:
- Beep Mode: Press the "Beep" button to emit an audible tone from the collar. This is often used as a warning or a positive reinforcement signal.
- Vibration Mode: Press the "Vibration" button to activate a vibration on the collar. The intensity of the vibration can be adjusted.
- Static (Shock) Mode: Press the "Shock" button to deliver a static stimulation. The intensity level (1-10) can be adjusted using the level dial on the remote. Always start at the lowest effective level.
- Adjusting Static Level: Rotate the dial on the remote to select the desired static stimulation level from 1 to 10.
- Keypad Lock: Utilize the security keypad lock feature on the side of the remote to prevent accidental button presses. Slide the lock switch to the locked position when not actively training.
Maintenance
- Charging: Recharge the remote and collars when the battery indicator shows low power. Avoid overcharging.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function.
- Storage: Store the training system in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Water Resistance: While the collars are water-resistant, they are not designed for prolonged submersion. Avoid exposing them to heavy rain or swimming.
