2.2 Installing the Receiver

3. Operating Modes
The PATPET P Collar 920 offers three primary training modes: Tone, Vibration, and Static Shock. Each mode can be activated via dedicated buttons on the remote transmitter.
- Tone Mode: Emits an audible beep. Ideal for initial warnings or positive reinforcement.
- Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. Useful for getting your dog's attention or as a stronger warning.
- Static Shock Mode: Provides a static correction. This mode should be used responsibly and only when necessary, with the lowest effective level.
3.1 Adjusting Intensity Levels
The Vibration and Static Shock modes feature adjustable intensity levels (1-16) to customize the correction to your dog's sensitivity and the training situation. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the remote to adjust the level displayed on the LCD screen.

4. Correct Collar Fit
Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for its effectiveness and your dog's comfort. The collar should be snug enough to ensure the contact points touch the dog's skin, but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict breathing. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Adjust the position of the collar within 1-2 hours to prevent pressure sores.
- 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 redness.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PATPET P Collar 920, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Clean the collar and remote regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspect the contact points and charging ports for any debris or damage.
- Ensure the charging port covers are securely closed when not charging to maintain IPX7 waterproof integrity.
- Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PATPET P Collar 920, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Collar not responding: Ensure both the remote and collar are powered on and fully charged. Re-pair the devices if necessary (refer to Section 3.2). Check for proper contact point placement on your dog's skin.
- Short range: Ensure the remote's antenna is fully extended. Environmental factors (e.g., thick walls, dense foliage) can affect range. Try testing in an open area.
- Battery not holding charge: Ensure the charging cable and adapter are functioning correctly. Clean the charging ports. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- No static correction: Verify the intensity level is set above 0. Ensure the contact points are making proper skin contact. Test the static function using the provided test light.
