Setup and Initial Use
1. Unboxing and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure the collar, charging cable, and any included accessories are present and undamaged.
2. Charging the Collar
Before first use, fully charge the collar. Connect the magnetic charging cable to the collar's charging port and plug the USB end into a compatible USB power adapter (not included). A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 15 days of autonomy.
3. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort. The collar should be snug enough that two fingers can fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. Ensure the sensor unit is positioned centrally on your dog's throat.

These functions activate gradually through an automatic learning program, designed to help your dog learn to reduce excessive barking without discomfort.
