Setup

Charging the Devices

Before first use, fully charge the remote transmitter and all receiver collars. The remote takes approximately 90 days of work time on a full charge, and receivers last about 30 days.

• Connect the USB charging cable to the charging ports on both the remote and receivers.
• Plug the USB cable into a USB power source (e.g., USB power strip, computer, power bank, or power adapter).
• The LED indicator on the receiver will show charging status. The remote display will indicate charging.
• Charge until the indicators show a full charge.

Description: An illustration demonstrating how to charge both the remote control and a receiver collar using the provided USB cable, highlighting various compatible power sources like a USB power strip, computer, power bank, and power adapter.

Fitting the Collar

• Select the appropriate length of contact points (short for short-haired dogs, long for long-haired dogs) and screw them into the receiver. Optionally, place conductive silicone caps over the contact points for added comfort.
• Place the receiver collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points touch the skin.
• Adjust the strap so it is snug but not tight. You should be able to fit one finger between the collar and your dog's neck.
• Trim any excess strap length if necessary.

Pairing the Remote and Receivers

The devices are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed:

1. Turn on the remote transmitter.
2. Select the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) using the 'CH' button on the remote.
3. With the receiver collar turned off, press and hold its power button until the LED indicator flashes rapidly.
4. While the receiver LED is flashing, press any mode button (Beep, Vibration, or Shock) on the remote.
5. The receiver LED will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing. Repeat for other receivers on different channels.

Operating Instructions

Training Modes

The system offers four training modes: Beep, Vibration, Static Shock, and Automatic Bark Mode.

• Beep Mode: Delivers an audible tone. Default setting.
• Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. Adjustable intensity from 1-100.
• Static Shock Mode: Delivers a static stimulation. Adjustable intensity from 1-100.

To activate a mode, press the corresponding button on the remote. Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust intensity for Vibration and Static Shock modes.

Controlling Multiple Dogs

Use the 'CH' button on the remote to switch between channels (1, 2, or 3) to control individual dogs. To control all paired dogs simultaneously, select the 'All' channel (usually indicated by an icon showing multiple dogs or '000').

Automatic Bark Mode (2-in-1 Functionality)

The receiver collar can operate independently as an automatic bark collar without the remote.

• Activating Auto Mode: After pairing, press and hold the remote control's power button until you hear the receiver beep once. This indicates Auto Mode is ON. To turn it OFF, press and hold the remote's power button until the receiver beeps twice.
• Adjusting Sensitivity (5 Levels): With the receiver collar turned on, press its power button 3 times in quick succession. Each press will cycle through the 5 sensitivity levels. Higher levels detect barks more easily.

Description: An image showing a dog wearing the collar, with icons representing the Auto Mode (1-5 Levels), Beep, Vibration (1-100 Levels), and Shock (1-100 Levels), emphasizing that the collar can activate automatically without the remote.

Description: A visual guide explaining the 5 sensitivity levels for the automatic bark mode. It shows a dog wearing the collar and an inset image of the receiver with a finger pointing to the power button, indicating to press it three times to adjust sensitivity.

Auto Mode Activation Sequences

When in Auto Mode, the collar will activate a sequence of corrections upon detecting a bark. The specific sequence depends on the model and sensitivity level, typically escalating from milder to stronger corrections if barking persists.

Description: A detailed diagram outlining seven different activation sequences for the automatic bark mode. Each sequence combines Beep, Vibration (with levels), and Static Shock (with levels) in escalating order, designed to progressively correct barking behavior.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: The collar material (Nylon, Polyester) is listed as "Dry Clean Only" for general care. For the electronic receiver unit, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before charging or use.
• Waterproof: The receiver collars are IPX7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, always ensure the charging port is sealed and dry before charging.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the devices frequently. Charge them regularly, especially if they will be stored for an extended period.
• Contact Points: Periodically check the contact points for wear or corrosion. Clean them if necessary to ensure proper conductivity.

Troubleshooting

• Collar not responding to remote: Ensure both the remote and receiver are turned on and fully charged. Verify they are paired correctly to the same channel. Check the remote's battery level.
• Collar not activating in Auto Mode: Check the sensitivity level of the auto mode (press receiver power button 3 times). Ensure the collar is fitted snugly and the contact points are making proper contact with the dog's skin.
• No static stimulation: Ensure the static shock level is set above 0. Use the test light tool to verify functionality. Ensure contact points are making good skin contact.
• Remote or receiver not charging: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the device and the power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
• Skin irritation: Discontinue use immediately. Check collar fit and ensure it's not worn for more than 8-12 hours per day. Clean the contact area and consult a veterinarian if irritation persists.
