Safety Information

• Important: Avoid leaving the receiver collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day. It is recommended to use the collar for a maximum of 6 hours daily.
• Regularly check your dog's skin for any signs of irritation, redness, or sores. If any are found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed completely.
• Ensure the collar is fitted correctly, not too tight to restrict breathing or cause discomfort, and not too loose to prevent proper contact or allow the dog to chew it.
• The static correction feature should be used responsibly and only after other training modes (beep and vibration) have been attempted. Always start at the lowest static level and increase gradually if necessary.
• This device is intended for training purposes and should not be used as a punishment tool or for aggressive behavior correction without professional guidance.

2. Attaching and Fitting the Collar

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective operation and your dog's comfort. The collar is adjustable and suitable for dogs weighing 8 to 120 lbs.

1. Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points touch the skin.
2. Adjust the strap so it is snug but not overly tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
3. Trim any excess strap length if necessary, ensuring the cut end is sealed to prevent fraying.
4. Ensure the collar is positioned centrally on your dog's neck.

3. Pairing (If Needed)

Your PETPNR training collar system typically comes pre-paired. If you need to re-pair a receiver or pair a new one:

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Select the desired dog channel (1, 2, or 3) using the Channel Switch button on the remote.
3. With the receiver turned off, press and hold the ON/OFF button on the receiver until the LED light flashes rapidly.
4. While the receiver light is flashing, press any training mode button (Beep, Vibrate, or Static) on the remote. The receiver's LED light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

Operating Instructions

1. Turning On/Off

• Remote: Press and hold the power button until the screen illuminates. Press and hold again to turn off.
• Receiver: Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED light turns on/off.

2. Training Modes

The PETPNR training collar offers three distinct modes to facilitate effective training:

• Beep Mode: Delivers an audible tone. Often used as an initial warning or for positive reinforcement.
• Vibration Mode: Provides a gentle vibration. Useful for getting your dog's attention or as a stronger warning than the beep.
• Static Mode: Delivers a static correction. This mode has 15 adjustable levels (00-15). Always start at the lowest level and increase only if necessary.

3. Adjusting Static Levels

Use the 'Static Up' (+) and 'Static Down' (-) buttons on the remote to select a static correction level from 00 to 15. It is crucial to find the lowest effective level for your dog.

4. Safety Keyboard Lock

The remote features a safety keyboard lock to prevent accidental activation of training modes. Locate the lock switch on the side of the remote and slide it to the locked position when not actively training or when carrying the remote.

5. Remote Range

The remote control offers an effective range of up to 1600 feet (approximately 533 yards) in open, unobstructed areas. Obstacles such as walls or dense foliage may reduce this range.

6. Training Tips

• Build Trust: Establish a positive relationship with your dog before introducing the training collar.
• Start Early: Training younger pets can be easier as they have not yet formed specific habits.
• Consistency is Key: Use consistent training methods and commands. Repetitive training helps pets remember.
• Patience: Training is a gradual process. Be patient and provide appropriate rewards and corrections.
• Low Levels First: Always begin training with the lowest effective level for vibration or static correction.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Collar

Regular cleaning of the receiver collar, especially the metal contact points, is essential to prevent bacterial infections and ensure proper function. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the collar and contact points. Ensure the collar is completely dry before placing it back on your dog.

2. Skin Health

Continuously monitor your dog's neck area for any signs of irritation or sores. If a rash or sore is observed, remove the collar immediately and discontinue use until the skin has fully healed. Consult a veterinarian if the condition persists or worsens.

3. Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the devices frequently. Recharge them when the battery indicator shows low power. Store the devices in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

4. Waterproof Feature

The receiver collars are IPX7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This allows your dog to swim or bathe freely while wearing the collar. Ensure the rubber lid over the charging port is securely closed to maintain waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Turning On: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect to the charger and check for charging indicator lights.
• No Response from Receiver:
  • Check if both the remote and receiver are turned on.
  • Verify the remote's keypad lock is disengaged.
  • Ensure the remote and receiver are paired to the correct channel. Re-pair if necessary.
  • Check the receiver's battery level.
  • Ensure the contact points on the receiver are making proper contact with your dog's skin.
• Remote Not Charging: Check the USB cable and charging adapter. Try a different cable or power source. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
• Reduced Remote Range: Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the receiver. Large metal objects, thick walls, or dense terrain can interfere with the signal.
• Skin Irritation: Remove the collar immediately. Clean the contact points and your dog's neck. Allow the skin to heal before reintroducing the collar, ensuring a proper fit and not leaving it on for extended periods.
