Required Tools (Not Included):

• Small Phillips head screwdriver
• Prying tool (plastic spudger recommended to avoid damage)

Installation Steps:

1. Power Off Device: Ensure the Sportdog or YardTrainer collar is completely powered off before beginning the battery replacement process.
2. Locate Battery Compartment: Identify the battery compartment on your collar. This typically involves removing screws from the back or side casing.
3. Open Casing: Carefully use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove any screws securing the casing. Use the prying tool to gently separate the casing halves, being mindful of any internal wires or components.
4. Disconnect Old Battery: Locate the old battery. It will be connected to the device's circuit board via a small connector. Gently pull the connector straight out from its socket. Do not pull on the wires.
5. Remove Old Battery: Carefully remove the old battery from its position. It may be lightly adhered with adhesive.
6. Install New Battery: Place the new SPANN replacement battery into the compartment. Ensure it fits correctly and is oriented properly.
7. Connect New Battery: Align the new battery's connector with the socket on the circuit board and gently push it in until it is fully seated. Ensure a secure connection.
8. Reassemble Casing: Carefully align the casing halves and press them together. Ensure no wires are pinched. Reinsert and tighten all screws. Do not overtighten.
9. Initial Charge: After installation, it is recommended to fully charge the collar before its first use.

Operating Considerations

While the battery itself does not have operational controls, its performance directly impacts your device. The collar will operate as designed once the new battery is installed and charged.

• Charging: Always use the original charger provided with your Sportdog or YardTrainer collar.
• First Use: For optimal performance, fully charge the battery before the first use after installation.
• Battery Indicator: Refer to your collar's original user manual for information on its battery level indicator and charging status.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the life of your battery and ensure consistent performance.

• Regular Charging: Avoid letting the battery completely drain before recharging. Regular, partial charges are generally better for Lithium-Polymer batteries than full discharge cycles.
• Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-70% capacity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning: Keep the battery and its contacts clean and free from dust or debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the battery or the device to extreme heat or cold, as this can degrade battery performance and lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing the battery, consider the following:

• Device Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the battery connector is fully and correctly seated.
  • Verify the battery is charged. Connect the charger and observe if the charging indicator activates.
  • Double-check that the battery is the correct model (CS-SD166SL) for your device.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
  • Check for any background processes or settings on the collar that might be excessively draining power (refer to your collar's original manual).
  • Extreme temperatures during use or storage can affect battery life.
• Charging Issues:
  • Ensure the charger is functioning correctly and is the original charger for your collar.
  • Check the charging port on the collar for any debris or damage.

If problems persist, please contact SPANN customer support.
