Ensure the collar unit is fully charged before first use. Connect the charging cable to the collar's charging port and a power source. The indicator light will show charging status.

Adjust the collar strap to fit your dog's neck comfortably. It should be snug enough for the contact points to touch the skin, but not so tight as to cause discomfort. The collar is designed for dogs with neck lengths between 10-30 inches and weighing 10-120 lbs.

2. Install Contact Points
Select the appropriate length of contact points (short for short-haired dogs, long for long-haired dogs) and screw them firmly into the collar unit. Place the silicone covers over the contact points for added comfort and to prevent irritation.

3. Power On and GPS Positioning
Press and hold the power button on the collar unit to turn it on. Take the collar outdoors to an open area to allow it to acquire a GPS signal. The GPS icon on the display will indicate signal strength.

Operating Instructions
Remote Control Usage
The remote control allows you to manually activate the training modes. It has a large range for effective communication with the collar. Use the mode selection buttons to switch between beep, vibration, and shock, and the intensity dial to adjust levels.
The remote control can be paired with multiple collars, indicated by numbers on the collars and a selection option on the remote's display.
Testing Electric Shock (Optional)
To test the static shock function, place the provided test light tool across the contact points. Press the shock button on the remote. If the test light illuminates, the shock function is working correctly.

Training Your Dog
Begin training in a familiar, open area. Introduce the warning modes gradually, starting with the beep, then vibration, and finally static shock if necessary. Always pair the correction with a verbal command or a recall cue.
When your dog approaches the boundary, the collar will activate the chosen warning mode. Guide your dog back into the safe zone. Positive reinforcement (praise, treats) is crucial when your dog responds correctly.
Consistency is key. Regular, short training sessions will help your dog understand the boundaries and respond to the collar's cues.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function.
- Waterproof Feature: The collar is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it can withstand strong jets of water and is suitable for swimming, bathing, and use in rainy conditions. However, ensure the charging port cover is securely closed when exposed to water.
- Battery Life: Charge the collar and remote regularly. Battery life can vary based on usage and environmental factors.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding to remote. | Low battery on collar or remote; out of range; not paired correctly. | Charge both devices. Ensure you are within the effective range. Re-pair the collar and remote according to the manual. |
| Inconsistent boundary. | Poor GPS signal; environmental interference (dense trees, tall buildings). | Ensure the collar has a clear view of the sky. Re-establish the center point in an open area. Avoid areas with heavy obstructions. |
| Collar not delivering correction. | Contact points not touching skin; incorrect mode/intensity setting; faulty contact points. | Adjust collar fit. Check mode and intensity levels. Use the test light tool. Ensure contact points are clean. |
| Short battery life. | Frequent use of high-intensity modes; aging battery. | Reduce intensity levels if possible. Ensure full charge cycles. Consider battery replacement if issues persist after extended use. |
