2. Fitting the Collar
Ensure the collar fits snugly but comfortably around your dog's neck. It should be tight enough for the contact points to touch the skin, but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause discomfort. The collar is adjustable and suitable for dogs weighing between 15 to 100 pounds.

Operating Modes
The DOG CARE TC01 offers five safe and efficient training modes to help you teach basic obedience and correct unwanted behaviors.

1. Beep Mode
Emits an audible tone from the collar. This mode is ideal for initial training and gaining your dog's attention without physical stimulation.
2. Vibration Mode
Provides a gentle vibration. This can be used as a stronger cue than the beep, suitable for dogs that need a more noticeable signal.
3. Static Mode (0-99 Adjustable Levels)
Delivers a static stimulation. The intensity is adjustable from 0 to 99, allowing you to find the precise level for your dog's sensitivity. Always start at the lowest level and increase gradually if necessary. Silicone caps are provided for comfort and safety.
4. Security Keypad Lock
The remote features a keypad lock to prevent unintentional commands. Slide the lock switch on the side of the remote to activate or deactivate this feature, ensuring safe handling during training sessions.

5. Multiple Control (Up to 9 Dogs)
Unlike many other training collars, the DOG CARE TC01 remote can control up to 9 individual collar receivers. This is ideal for households with multiple dogs, allowing you to switch between channels to train each dog independently.

Remote Control Range
The wireless control range can reach up to 1800 feet in open areas and approximately 1000 feet with obstacles. This extended range provides flexibility for training in various environments.

Maintenance
Waterproof and Dust-proof
The collar receiver is IP67 waterproof and dust-proof, allowing your dog to play freely in various conditions. However, it is recommended to remove the collar when your dog is swimming or bathing to ensure longevity and prevent potential issues.
