5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• To turn on: Press and hold the Power button (ⓘ) until the indicator light illuminates.
• To turn off: Press and hold the Power button (ⓘ) until the indicator light turns off.

5.2 Mode Selection

The collar offers two humane training modes:

• Beep + Vibration Mode: Indicated by a green light. The collar will emit a beep followed by vibration upon bark detection.
• Beep + Strong Vibration Mode: Indicated by a red light. The collar will emit a beep followed by a stronger vibration upon bark detection.

To switch between modes, press the Mode button (M).

5.3 Adjusting Sensitivity Levels

The collar has 5 adjustable sensitivity levels. A higher level means the collar is more sensitive to barking and will activate faster.

• To adjust sensitivity: While the collar is on, press the Power button (ⓘ) to cycle through levels 1-5. The digital display will show the current sensitivity level.

6. Wearing the Collar

Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort.

1. Position the collar unit centrally on your dog's throat, ensuring the contact points are touching the skin.
2. Adjust the nylon strap to ensure a snug fit. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The collar should not be too loose, as this may prevent proper contact, or too tight, which could cause discomfort.
3. The collar is adjustable for neck sizes ranging from 8 inches (20cm) to 21 inches (53cm).
4. Use the provided silicone sleeves over the contact points to enhance comfort and protect your dog's skin, especially for dogs with shorter fur.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Regularly inspect the collar and contact points for dirt or debris.
• Clean the collar unit and strap with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Ensure the charging port cover is always sealed when not charging to prevent water ingress.

7.2 Battery Care

• Charge the collar when the low battery alarm (blinking green indicator) is active.
• Avoid overcharging. Disconnect the charger once the battery is full.

7.3 Waterproofing

The Laptom Pro Smart Dog Bark Collar is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, and snow. However, it is not recommended for prolonged submersion.

8. Troubleshooting

• Collar not activating: Ensure the collar is turned on and fully charged. Check that the contact points are making proper contact with your dog's skin. Adjust the sensitivity level to a higher setting if needed.
• False triggering: If the collar activates without your dog barking, try lowering the sensitivity level. Ensure the collar is not too loose, allowing it to rub against other surfaces.
• Dog not responding: Verify the collar is fitted correctly and the contact points are making good contact. Increase the sensitivity level or switch to the Strong Vibration Mode. Consistent training is key.
• Battery not charging: Check the USB cable and power source connections. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
