Operating Instructions

Training Modes:

The collar offers three distinct training modes:

• Beep Mode (🔊): Emits an audible tone. Useful for attracting attention or as a warning before other corrections.
• Vibration Mode (📳): Delivers a gentle vibration. Adjustable from level 1-99. Effective for getting your dog's attention without discomfort.
• Static Shock Mode (⚡): Delivers a static pulse. Adjustable from level 1-99. Use with caution and only when necessary, starting at the lowest effective level.

Using the Remote Control:

• Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the remote to turn it on or off.
• Mode Selection: Use the dedicated buttons for Beep, Vibration, and Static Shock to activate the desired mode.
• Adjusting Intensity: For Vibration and Static Shock modes, use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the intensity level from 1 to 99. Start with the lowest level and increase gradually if needed.
• Channel Selection (CH): If you have multiple collars, use the 'CH' button to switch between different paired receivers.

Effective Training Tips:

• Consistency is Key: Use the collar consistently for specific behaviors you want to correct or reinforce.
• Positive Reinforcement: Always combine collar corrections with positive reinforcement (praise, treats) when your dog performs the desired action.
• Short Training Sessions: Keep training sessions short and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.
• Start Low: When using vibration or static shock, always start at the lowest level and increase only if your dog does not respond. The goal is to get their attention, not to cause pain.
• Observe Your Dog: Pay close attention to your dog's reactions to determine the appropriate intensity level.
