5. Setup
5.1 Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collars. Use the provided dual Micro USB charging cable. A full charge typically takes about 2 hours.
- Connect the charging cable to the charging ports on the remote and receiver(s).
- Plug the USB end into a standard USB power adapter (not included).
- The battery indicator on the remote and receiver will show charging status.
5.2 Pairing the Remote and Receiver(s)
The devices are usually pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed or you are adding a second collar:
- Turn on the remote transmitter.
- Select the desired channel (Dog 1 or Dog 2) using the 'CH' button on the remote.
- With the receiver collar turned off, press and hold the power button on the receiver until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
- Within 10 seconds, press the 'Beep' or 'Vibration' button on the remote. The receiver light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
5.3 Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is essential for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort.

- Attach the receiver to the adjustable collar belt.
- Select the appropriate length contact points (short for short-haired dogs, long for long-haired dogs) and screw them into the receiver. Always place the silicone protective caps over the contact points.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points touch the skin.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug but not restrictive. You should be able to slide one finger between the collar and your dog's neck. A loose collar will not deliver consistent stimulation and may cause irritation due to rubbing.

6. Operating Instructions
The DOGlinsen training collar offers multiple modes to suit various training needs.

6.1 Training Modes
- Beep Mode (
): Delivers an audible tone to get your dog's attention. This is often the first mode used for training. - Vibration Mode (
): Provides a non-harmful vibration. Levels 1-100 are adjustable. - Static Mode (

7. Training Tips
Effective training requires consistency and positive reinforcement.
- Start with Beep: Always begin training with the Beep mode. If your dog does not respond, move to Vibration. Static mode should be the last option.
- Lowest Effective Level: When using Vibration or Static modes, start at the lowest intensity level and gradually increase until your dog responds.
- Consistency: Use the collar consistently with commands. Repeat and reinforce commands for better understanding.
- Positive Reinforcement: Always reward your dog with treats, praise, or affection for desired behaviors.
- Short Sessions: Keep training sessions short and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.
