5.2 Pairing the Remote and Collars

The devices are usually pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed:

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Select the desired channel (1 or 2) on the remote.
3. With the collar turned off, press and hold the collar's power button until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
4. While the collar light is flashing, press any mode button (Sound, Vibration, or Boost) on the remote.
5. The collar's indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
6. Repeat for the second collar on the other channel if applicable.

5.3 Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

Proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort.

• Position the collar on your dog's neck so the contact points are underneath, making direct contact with the skin.
• The collar should be snug enough that two fingers can barely fit between the strap and your dog's neck.
• Ensure the collar is not too tight, which could cause discomfort or skin irritation.
• The strap is adjustable from 10 cm to 65 cm, suitable for small, medium, and large dog breeds.
