Setup Guide
1. Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the collar receiver. Use the provided USB Type-C cable. You can charge both devices simultaneously with the same cable.
- Connect the cable to the charging ports on both devices.
- Plug the USB end into a power adapter, USB outlet, power bank, or computer.
- Charging typically takes 2-3 hours. The battery indicator on the remote will show full, and the receiver's indicator light will change when fully charged.
2. Attaching the Collar Receiver
The collar strap is adjustable and suitable for dogs weighing 5lbs to 110lbs, with a neck girth range of 7-26 inches.
- Thread the nylon strap through the receiver.
- Choose the appropriate length of metal probes (long for thick-coated dogs, short for thin-coated dogs) and screw them onto the receiver.
- For added comfort and if the static shock function is not desired, you can attach the silicone covers over the metal probes or remove the probes entirely.

3. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
Proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and your dog's comfort.
- Place the receiver on your dog's neck so that the contact points touch the skin.
- The collar should be snug enough for the probes to make contact, but loose enough for you to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
- Avoid leaving the collar on for more than 12 hours a day to prevent pressure necrosis. Reposition the collar every 1-2 hours if worn for extended periods.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding to remote. | Low battery on either device; devices not paired; out of range; keypad locked. | Charge both devices. Ensure they are paired (refer to pairing instructions if available). Move closer to the dog. Unlock the keypad. |
| No static shock/vibration. | Probes not making contact; intensity level too low; probes removed. | Adjust collar fit to ensure probes touch skin. Increase intensity level. Ensure metal probes are attached if static shock is desired. |
| Collar causes skin irritation. | Collar worn too long or too tight; improper fit; dog's skin sensitivity. | Remove collar immediately. Allow skin to heal. Ensure proper fit (one to two fingers space). Reposition collar frequently. Consider using silicone covers. |
| Short battery life. | Frequent use of high intensity modes; aging battery. | Ensure full charge before use. Reduce intensity levels if possible. Contact support if battery life significantly degrades. |
