Setup
- Charge the Device: Connect the magnetic charging cable to the collar and a USB power source. The battery icon on the LED screen will indicate charging status. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours.
- Attach Contact Points: Select the appropriate length of metal contact points based on your dog's fur thickness. For dogs with shorter fur, use the shorter points; for longer fur, use the longer points. Screw them securely into the back of the device. Optionally, place the silicone caps over the contact points for added comfort.
- Adjust the Collar Strap: Thread the nylon strap through the device. Adjust the strap to fit snugly around your dog's neck, ensuring two fingers can fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The device should be positioned centrally on your dog's throat.

Operation Controls
The collar features an LED screen and two buttons: a Power/Sensitivity button (right) and a Mode/Lock button (left).
Power & Sensitivity Button (Right Button)
- Turn On/Off: Press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds. The device will beep and the LED screen will light up.
- Adjust Sensitivity: Briefly press the Power button to cycle through sensitivity levels 0-3. Level 0 is for testing (blow into the sensor hole). Levels 1-3 increase sensitivity, making it easier to trigger the device.
Mode & Lock Button (Left Button)
- Lock/Unlock Device: Press and hold the Mode button for 2 seconds to lock or unlock the device. A lock icon will appear/disappear on the screen.
- Change Mode Setting: Briefly press the Mode button to cycle through the available correction modes. The intensity of vibration or shock (if enabled) will gradually increase with each consecutive activation.
Correction Modes
The collar offers various combinations of sound, vibration, and shock (though this model is advertised as "No Shock", the interface might show a shock option which should be disabled for this product). Always start with the lowest effective setting.
- Mode 1 (Sound + Vibration + Shock): Activates all three correction types. (Note: For "No Shock" models, ensure shock is disabled or not selected).
- Mode 2 (Vibration + Beep): Activates vibration and sound.
- Mode 3 (Shock + Beep): Activates shock and sound. (Note: For "No Shock" models, ensure shock is disabled or not selected).
- Mode 4 (Shock + Vibration): Activates shock and vibration. (Note: For "No Shock" models, ensure shock is disabled or not selected).
- Mode 5 (Vibration Only): Activates vibration only.
- Mode 6 (Beep Only): Activates sound only.
For this "No Shock" model, it is recommended to use modes that only include vibration and/or beep.

Protection Mode
To prevent over-correction, the device will enter a protection mode if it activates 5 consecutive times. During this mode, the device will display a flashing "P" and will not activate for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, it will return to its initial state. This ensures your dog is not subjected to continuous corrections.
Wearing the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort. Ensure the contact points touch your dog's skin. If your dog has long fur, you may need to trim the fur slightly around the contact points or use the longer contact points provided.
- Position the device centrally on your dog's throat.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day to prevent skin irritation.
