4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Collar Adjustment

Adjust the nylon strap to ensure a snug but comfortable fit around your dog's neck. The collar should be tight enough that two fingers can barely fit between the strap and your dog's neck. This ensures proper contact of the prongs with the skin for effective operation. The strap is adjustable for neck sizes from 8 to 25 inches, accommodating dogs from 8 to 150 lbs.

4.2 Prong Installation and Protection

The collar comes with metal prongs for contact. For enhanced comfort and to prevent irritation, it is recommended to use the included silicone protective covers over the metal prongs. Simply push the covers onto the prongs until they are securely in place.

4.3 Charging the Collar

Before first use, fully charge the collar. Connect the magnetic charging cable to the charging port on the collar. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours and provides about 15-20 days of usage. The smart color display will show the power level.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FAFAFROG Smart Bark Collar, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Collar Not Activating:
  • Check battery level and recharge if necessary.
  • Ensure the collar is fitted correctly and the prongs are making proper contact with your dog's skin.
  • Adjust the sensitivity level. A lower sensitivity might be needed in quiet environments.
  • Verify the collar is not in 'Protect Mode' (displaying '8').
• Collar Over-Activating:
  • Reduce the sensitivity level. High sensitivity can cause activation from external noises or dog movements.
  • Ensure the collar is not too loose, which can cause false triggers from movement.
• Collar Not Holding Charge:
  • Ensure the magnetic charging cable is securely connected.
  • Try a different USB power source.
  • If the issue persists, contact customer support.
