Setup
1. Charging the Collar
- Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the collar unit.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
- The indicator light on the collar will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
- Allow approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge.
- Disconnect the charging cable once fully charged.
2. Pairing with a Remote Control (if applicable)
This additional collar is designed to be paired with a compatible PAWPRO remote control (sold separately). Refer to your remote control's user manual for specific pairing instructions. Typically, the process involves:
- Turning on the collar unit.
- Activating pairing mode on the remote control.
- Pressing a specific button on the collar or remote to initiate pairing.
- Confirmation of successful pairing (e.g., indicator light change).
3. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. The collar should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the receiver unit is positioned centrally under the chin or on the side of the neck.
- Adjust the strap length using the buckle until a snug fit is achieved.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary, and use the provided strap keeper to secure the loose end.
