2. Safety Information

• This device is intended for dog training purposes only. Do not use it on aggressive dogs or for any other purpose.

• Regularly check your dog's neck for any signs of irritation or sores. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.

5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Collar

Before first use, fully charge the bark collar. Connect the USB charging cable to the collar's charging port and plug the other end into a USB power source (e.g., USB adapter, power bank, car charger, or laptop/PC). The LED display will indicate charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 10-15 days of usage, depending on frequency of activation.

5.2 Adjusting and Fitting the Collar

The collar strap is adjustable to fit dogs weighing 8-120 lbs with neck sizes ranging from 7-26 inches. Ensure the collar is properly sized for your dog.

1. Adjust the nylon strap to fit your dog's neck. The collar should be snug, allowing two fingers to fit comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
2. Position the collar so that the contact points are directly underneath your dog's throat, making good contact with the skin. For dogs with thick fur, you may need to trim the fur slightly to ensure proper contact.
3. Ensure the collar is not too loose, as this can lead to inconsistent activation or skin irritation from rubbing.

• No Shock Modes:
  • Beep Only: The collar emits an audible beep when barking is detected.
  • Beep + Vibration: The collar emits a beep followed by a vibration when barking is detected.
• Shock Modes:
  • Beep + Static Shock: The collar emits a beep followed by a static correction when barking is detected.
  • Beep + Vibration + Static Shock: The collar emits a beep, then vibration, then static correction when barking is detected.

To switch between modes, press the 'Mode' button. The display will show the current mode. You can adjust the intensity of vibration and static shock (from 1 to 7 levels) using the sensitivity adjustment buttons.

6.3 Smart Anti-False Triggering

The BXQ Bark Collar incorporates an upgraded smart dog barking recognition chip. This technology helps to filter out irrelevant sounds such as other dogs barking, dog head shaking, or other environmental noises, ensuring that the collar only activates in response to your dog's actual barking. This prevents unnecessary corrections and promotes more effective training.

6.4 Automatic Anti-Barking & Protection Mode

The collar operates automatically once turned on. It detects your dog's barking and applies the selected correction. For your dog's safety, the collar features a built-in protection mode. If the collar triggers more than 7 times within a 30-second period, it will temporarily stop working for 2 minutes (the digital display will show "E"). This prevents over-correction. The collar will resume normal operation after 2 minutes or if the power button is pressed.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the device is dry before recharging or re-applying to your dog. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the collar when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Store the collar in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

7.3 Waterproofing

The BXQ Bark Collar is rated IP67 waterproof, meaning it is protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This allows your dog to wear it during swimming, bathing, or playing in the rain. However, ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before exposing the collar to water.
