Setup Guide

1. Charging the Collar

Before first use, fully charge the collar. Connect the magnetic charging cable to the charging port on the collar and plug the USB end into a standard USB power adapter (not included). The screen will indicate charging status. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours.

2. Attaching the Strap

Thread the adjustable nylon strap through the loops on the collar unit. Ensure the strap is securely fastened.

3. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort. The collar should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The contact points on the back of the collar unit should touch your dog's skin. If your dog has long fur, you may need to trim the fur slightly around the contact points to ensure good contact.

Important: Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day. Regularly check your dog's neck for any signs of irritation or pressure sores. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

To power on the collar, press and hold the power button (usually located on the side or front of the unit) until the screen illuminates. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the screen turns off.

2. Understanding the Display Screen

The color display screen provides key information:

• Battery Indicator: Shows the current battery level.
• Sensitivity Level: Displays the current sensitivity setting (1-5).
• Mode Indicator: Shows the active correction mode (Beep, Vibration, or Beep+Vibration).
• Bark Counter: May display the number of barks detected (refer to specific model features).

3. Adjusting Sensitivity Levels

The collar has 5 sensitivity levels. A higher number indicates higher sensitivity, meaning the collar will trigger with softer barks. Adjust the sensitivity based on your dog's barking volume and the environment. Use the '+' and '-' buttons (or equivalent) on the collar to cycle through sensitivity levels.

• Level 1: Lowest sensitivity, for very loud barks.
• Level 5: Highest sensitivity, for soft barks or whispers.

4. Selecting Correction Modes

The PAWPRO collar offers three humane correction modes:

1. Beep Mode: Emits an audible tone when barking is detected. This mode often serves as an initial warning.
2. Vibration Mode: Delivers a gentle vibration when barking is detected.
3. Beep + Vibration Mode: Combines both an audible tone and vibration. This is often the most effective mode for many dogs.

Refer to the collar's interface or specific buttons to switch between these modes. The collar's AI system will gradually increase the intensity within the chosen mode if barking persists, providing a progressive learning experience for your dog.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the collar unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The strap can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the collar for any signs of wear and tear, especially the strap and contact points.
• Skin Health: Regularly inspect your dog's neck area where the collar sits for any redness, irritation, or sores. If any issues are observed, remove the collar immediately and consult a veterinarian.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the collar in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is fully charged before storing to preserve battery life.
