3. Setup
3.1 Charging the Devices
Before first use, fully charge both the remote control and the receiver collar. Use the provided USB Type-C cable. The indicator lights will show charging status (refer to the specific light patterns in the included training booklet).
3.2 Pairing the Remote and Receiver
- Turn on the receiver collar by pressing and holding its power button until the indicator light illuminates.
- Turn on the remote control.
- On the remote, select a channel (1-6) for the collar you wish to pair.
- Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar again until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
- Within 10 seconds, press any training mode button (Tone, Vibration, or Static) on the remote. The collar's indicator light will flash slowly, indicating successful pairing.
- Repeat for additional collars on different channels if you have multiple receivers.
3.3 Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort. The collar should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck. Ensure the contact points (if using static stimulation) are making direct contact with your dog's skin. For dogs with thick fur, you may need to trim some fur to ensure proper contact.
Important Note:
If you do not intend to use the static stimulation function, there is no need to install the metal contact points or silicone caps. The collar will function with beep and vibration modes without these accessories.

4.2 Training Modes
The AB-T70 offers six distinct training modes:
- Tone (Beep): Provides an audible signal. There are 9 adjustable levels of tone. This is often used as a warning or attention-getting signal.
- Vibration: Delivers a physical vibration to the collar. There are 36 adjustable levels of vibration. Useful for dogs that respond well to tactile cues.
- Static Stimulation: Provides a safe, momentary static pulse. There are 118 adjustable levels of static stimulation. This mode should be used cautiously and at the lowest effective level.
- Custom Mode: Allows for a combination of Tone + Vibration or a specific Static level to be set as a quick-access mode.
- E-Clicker: A distinct sound used for positive reinforcement, signaling to your dog that they have performed a desired action correctly.
4.3 Adjusting Levels and Safety Lock
Use the level adjustment dial or buttons on the remote to increase or decrease the intensity of vibration or static stimulation. Always start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog shows a subtle response, indicating they feel the correction.
To prevent accidental static stimulation, the remote features a safety lock. Refer to the remote's display and controls for engaging and disengaging this feature.
4.4 Night Light Function
The receiver collar includes an LED night light with three adjustable modes (Flashlight, Slow Flash, Explosive Flash) to enhance your dog's visibility in low-light conditions. Activate and cycle through these modes using the designated button on the remote or collar (refer to the training booklet for specific controls).

5. Training Tips
Effective training requires consistency, patience, and understanding of your dog's behavior. Here are some general tips:
- Start with Positive Reinforcement: Always pair desired behaviors with rewards (treats, praise, play). The E-Clicker can be a valuable tool for marking desired behaviors precisely.
- Introduce Gradually: Allow your dog to get accustomed to wearing the collar before introducing any stimulation.
- Begin with Low Levels: When using vibration or static stimulation, always start at the lowest level and increase only until your dog acknowledges the correction. The goal is to get their attention, not to cause distress.
- Short, Frequent Sessions: Keep training sessions brief and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.
- Consistency is Key: Use commands and corrections consistently so your dog understands what is expected.
- Observe Your Dog: Pay close attention to your dog's reactions. If they show signs of fear or anxiety, reduce the intensity or stop the session.
- Address Specific Behaviors: Use the collar to correct specific unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, jumping, or running away.
