Setup
1. Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar.
- Connect the USB charging cable to the charging ports on both the remote and the collar.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into a standard USB power adapter (not included).
- Charging indicators will show the charging status. Both devices typically fully charge in approximately 2 hours.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the charging cable.

2. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is essential for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort.
- Adjust the nylon strap to fit snugly around your dog's neck. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Ensure the receiver unit is positioned centrally on the underside of your dog's neck.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary, and use a lighter to seal the cut edge to prevent fraying.

3. Pairing the Remote and Collar
The remote and collar are usually pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed:
- Turn on the receiver collar by pressing and holding the power button until the indicator light flashes.
- Turn on the remote transmitter.
- Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar again for about 3 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
- Within 10 seconds, press any training mode button (Tone or Vibration) on the remote.
- If successful, the collar will vibrate or emit a tone, and the indicator light will stop flashing rapidly.
Operating Instructions
Training Modes
The DOGLinsen training collar offers three effective and humane training modes:
- Tone Mode: Emits an audible sound. Adjustable from 1 to 9 styles (tones).
- Vibration Mode: Delivers a gentle vibration. Adjustable from 1 to 9 levels of intensity.
- Tone & Vibration Mode: Activates both tone and vibration simultaneously. Adjustable from 1 to 9 levels/styles.
Select the appropriate mode and intensity level based on your dog's temperament and the training situation. Always start with the lowest setting and increase gradually if needed.

Remote Control Range
The remote transmitter provides an extended control range of up to 3300 feet (approximately 1000 meters) in open areas. This allows for flexible training both indoors and outdoors.

Waterproof Feature
The receiver collar is designed with an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions, including rain, and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. This allows your dog to wear the collar during activities like bathing or swimming without damage.
