5. Operating Instructions
- Adjusting Sensitivity (S Button): The device has 4 sensitivity levels (25-48FT). Press the 'S' button to cycle through the levels. Higher sensitivity means the device will detect barking from a greater distance. Start with a lower sensitivity and increase if needed.
- Adjusting Frequency (F Button): The device offers 4 frequency levels (15KHZ-30KHZ). Different dogs may respond better to different frequencies. Press the 'F' button to cycle through the frequency options. It is recommended to change the frequency once a week to prevent dogs from becoming accustomed to a single sound.
