Setup Guide
1. Unboxing and Initial Charge
Upon receiving your PetSafe Remote Training Collar, carefully remove all components from the packaging. It is recommended to fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collars before first use. The remote and collars charge within 2 hours and have up to a 40-hour battery life.
2. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective and humane operation. The adjustable training collars are made of premium coated nylon and fit dogs 8 lb and up with neck sizes 6-27 inches. Ensure the contact points touch your dog's skin. The collar should be snug enough to prevent movement but loose enough to allow one finger to fit comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.

3. Pairing the Remote and Collars
Your remote and collars should come pre-paired. If re-pairing is necessary, refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual (link provided in the Support section).
Operating the PetSafe Remote Training Collar
The lightweight digital remote is designed for intuitive use, featuring a clear, easy-to-read display and separate buttons for different stimulation types. The system works within a 300-yard range, making it suitable for outdoor training.
Training Modes:
- Tone: Delivers an audible sound. Often used as a warning or for positive reinforcement.
- Vibration: Provides a gentle vibration. Useful for gaining your dog's attention without static stimulation.
- Static Stimulation: Offers 15 levels of safe and humane static correction. Includes a safety lock feature for higher levels to prevent accidental overuse.

Remote Functions:
- The remote features a backlit display for visibility in various lighting conditions.
- Separate buttons allow for quick selection of tone and stimulation.
- Adjust stimulation levels directly from the remote.
Always begin training with the lowest stimulation level and gradually increase if necessary, observing your dog's reaction. Consistency is key for effective training.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PetSafe Remote Training Collar, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the collar strap and receiver with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure contact points are free of debris.
- Battery Care: Recharge the remote and collars as needed. The quick-charging adaptor is included. Avoid completely draining the battery for extended periods.
- Waterproof Design: Both the collar and remote are waterproof, allowing for use in various weather conditions and during activities like puddle jumping. However, always ensure charging ports are dry before charging.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PetSafe Remote Training Collar, consider the following common solutions:
- Collar Not Responding:
- Check if both the remote and collar are fully charged.
- Ensure the collar is properly fitted and the contact points are touching your dog's skin.
- Verify that the remote and collar are paired correctly. Refer to the full user manual for pairing instructions.
- Check if you are within the 300-yard range. Obstacles can reduce range.
- Inconsistent Stimulation:
