Setup Guide
1. Charging the Devices
Before initial use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collars. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.
- Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the remote and the receiver collar.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into a power adapter, computer, laptop, or power bank.
- The indicator light on the receiver will show charging status. The remote's display will indicate battery level.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the cables. Ensure the rubber cap on the receiver collar's charging port is securely closed to maintain waterproofing.

2. Attaching the Collar and Fitting
Proper fit is essential for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort.
- Thread the nylon strap through the receiver unit.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned underneath, touching the skin.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- For dogs with thick coats, you may need to trim some fur around the contact points to ensure proper skin contact.
- The collar is adjustable for neck sizes from 7.5 to 24 inches, suitable for dogs weighing 5-120 lbs.

3. Pairing the Remote and Receiver Collars
The remote can control up to three receiver collars. Each collar must be paired to a specific channel (1, 2, or 3).
- Turn on the Remote: The remote is always on but goes to sleep. Press any button to wake it up.
- Select a Channel: Press the "CH" button on the remote to select the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) for the collar you are pairing.
- Turn on the Receiver Collar: Press the power button on the back of the receiver collar. The light will flash green, and it will beep once.
- Enter Pairing Mode: Immediately after turning on the receiver, press and hold its power button again until you hear a long beep and the indicator light starts flashing rapidly.
- Complete Pairing: While the receiver's light is flashing, press any training mode button (Beep, Vibration, or Static) on the remote. The receiver will beep, indicating successful pairing.
- Repeat these steps for any additional receiver collars, assigning each to a different channel.
Operating Instructions
1. Understanding Training Modes
The Bwrethay Dog Training Collar offers three modes to assist in training:
- Beep: An audible tone used as a warning or positive reinforcement. This mode has a fixed intensity.
- Vibration: A tactile stimulation with 15 adjustable levels (1-15). Useful for gaining attention or mild correction.
- Static Stimulation: An electronic pulse with 99 adjustable levels (1-99). This mode should be used as a last resort and at the lowest effective level.
Figure 5: Overview of the three effective training modes.
2. Using the Remote Transmitter
The remote control is designed for ease of use with clear button functions.
- Select Dog Channel: Use the "CH" button to switch between controlling Dog 1, Dog 2, or Dog 3. The selected dog icon will be highlighted on the display.
- Select Training Mode and Level:
- Press the top button (Mode/Level Adjustment Knob) once to select Static Stimulation. Rotate the knob to adjust the level from 1 to 99.
- Press the top button a second time to select Vibration. Rotate the knob to adjust the level from 1 to 15.
- Press the top button a third time to select Beep. This mode has a fixed intensity.
- Activate Training Mode: Once the desired mode and level are set, press the corresponding button on the remote (Beep, Vibration, or Static Stimulation) to activate it.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the collar's performance and hygiene.
- Clean the receiver collar and remote with a damp cloth.
- Ensure the contact points on the receiver are clean and free of debris.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life:
- Fully charge the devices before long periods of inactivity.
- Avoid extreme temperatures.
- The remote has a standby time of up to 90 days, and the receiver up to 30 days on a full charge.
3. Waterproofing
The receiver collar is IP67 waterproof and dustproof, allowing your dog to wear it during activities like bathing, splashing, and swimming. Ensure the charging port's rubber cap is securely closed when not charging to maintain its waterproof integrity.

4. Replacing Metal Prongs and Using Silicone Caps
The collar comes with removable metal prongs. Silicone caps are provided to cover these prongs, which can enhance comfort for your dog and reduce direct contact with the metal, especially if static stimulation is not frequently used or for sensitive skin.
- Use the provided test light tool as a wrench to easily remove or attach the metal prongs.
- Place the conductive silicone caps over the metal prongs if desired. The beep and vibration functions will still operate normally with the caps installed.
