Setup
Charging the Unit
Before initial use, fully charge the Dogtra CUE Gen 2 E-Collar. The unit requires 2 Lithium Polymer batteries (included). Use the provided USB-C Charging Splitter Cable to charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar simultaneously. Ensure the charging ports are clean and dry before connecting the cable. A full charge is recommended for optimal performance.
Fitting the Receiver Collar
Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective and safe operation. The lightweight, convertible receiver is designed to fit dogs 10 lbs and up, accommodating various neck shapes and sizes. Position the receiver on your dog's neck so that the plastic contact points make consistent contact with the skin. The collar should be snug enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict breathing. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Dogtra CUE Gen 2 E-Collar, consider the following:
- No Power/Not Charging: Ensure the USB-C charging cable is properly connected to both the unit and a power source. Verify the charging ports are clean and dry.
- Inconsistent Stimulation: Check the fit of the receiver collar. The contact points must make consistent contact with the dog's skin. Trim your dog's fur if it is too thick and interferes with contact.
