3. Installing Contact Prongs and Silicone Covers:
Choose the appropriate length of metal prongs based on your dog's fur length. For short-haired dogs, use shorter prongs; for long-haired dogs, use longer prongs. Always place the conductive silicone covers over the metal prongs to ensure comfort and prevent direct metal-to-skin contact.
4. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog:
Place the collar around your dog's neck. The contact points should be positioned underneath the dog's throat. Adjust the strap so that it is snug, allowing only one finger to fit comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck. A proper fit is crucial for the collar to function effectively and safely.
- Suitable for dogs weighing 5 to 150 lbs.
- Adjustable collar length: 1.5 to 24 inches.

Adjusting Sensitivity Levels:
The collar has 8 adjustable sensitivity levels. Use the Power/Set button to adjust the sensitivity. Higher sensitivity means the collar will detect barking more easily.
Test Mode:
Before placing the collar on your dog, you can use "Test Mode" (level "0") to verify all functions are working. This mode activates all functions simultaneously.
Protection Mode:
To prevent over-stimulation, the collar will enter a 30-second protection mode (displaying "8") after being triggered 6 times in the warning tone + vibration + shock mode. During this time, it will not trigger again.
Smart Anti-Interference:
The S2 collar is designed to automatically filter out other dogs' barking and environmental noise, ensuring it only responds to your dog's barking.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the collar unit and strap with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Waterproof: The collar has an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is resistant to water submersion. However, prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets should be avoided. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.
