Setup

1. Charging the Collar

Before first use, fully charge the collar. The collar features magnetic charging for convenience.

• Plug the USB end of the cable into a USB adapter, car charger, power bank, or laptop/PC.
• A full charge takes approximately 2 hours and provides 15-20 days of use.

2. Fitting the Collar

Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort. The collar is suitable for dogs weighing 8 to 150 lbs with neck sizes from 8 to 25 inches, and is ideal for dogs over 6 months old.

• Ensure the collar is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
• Position the collar so the contact points touch your dog's skin. For dogs with thick coats, use the longer metal prongs provided.
• Regularly check the fit to prevent pressure sores, especially during growth spurts.

Adjusting Sensitivity Levels

The collar has 5 adjustable sensitivity levels (1 being the least sensitive, 5 being the most sensitive). Adjust the sensitivity based on your dog's barking habits and environment.

• Press the sensitivity button (often indicated by a 'S' or similar icon) to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
• Start with a lower sensitivity and increase if the collar is not activating consistently when your dog barks.

Smart Anti-False Triggering

The FAFAFROG bark collar is equipped with an upgraded smart dog barking recognition chip. It activates only when two conditions are met:

• Your dog barks.
• Vibration from your dog's vocal cords is detected.

This dual-detection system helps prevent false triggers from other dogs barking, head shaking, or other environmental noises.

Protect Mode

To protect your dog from over-correction, the collar features a "Protect Mode." If the collar is activated 6 times continuously within a short period, it will automatically stop working for 30 seconds. During this time, the digital display will show "8". This ensures your dog is not subjected to unnecessary or excessive corrections.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Collar

• Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Waterproof Feature

The FAFAFROG bark collar has an IP67 waterproof design, making it suitable for various weather conditions and activities.

• Your dog can wear the collar while bathing, swimming, or playing in the rain.
• Ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the magnetic charging cable.
