Setup Instructions

1. Charging the Receiver and Remote

Before initial use, fully charge both the receiver and your compatible Heaflex D8 remote control. Use the provided 2-in-1 USB charging cable.

1. Connect the dual DC round-head connectors of the 2-in-1 USB cable to the charging ports on the receiver and the remote control.
2. Plug the USB end of the cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., power bank, car charger, AC adapter, laptop USB 2.0 port).
3. Allow both devices to charge until their respective indicator lights show a full charge. The receiver has a standby time of up to 45 days when fully charged.

2. Fitting the Receiver Collar

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective and safe training. The receiver is suitable for dogs weighing 5–120 lbs.

1. Place the receiver on your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned on the underside of the neck, making direct contact with the skin.
2. Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
3. Ensure the collar is worn on the side of the neck for safer and more stable positioning. Do not connect a leash to the training collar.

3. Pairing (If Replacing Receiver)

If you are replacing an existing receiver, you may need to pair the new receiver with your Heaflex D8 remote control. Refer to your original Heaflex D8 training collar manual for specific pairing instructions, as procedures may vary slightly between models. Generally, this involves putting the receiver into pairing mode and then activating pairing on the remote.

Operating Instructions

The Heaflex D8 receiver supports multiple training modes and features for effective dog training.

Training Modes

The receiver offers three primary training modes:

• Beep (Tone): Emits an audible sound.
• Vibration: Delivers a tactile vibration.
• Electric Shock: Provides a static stimulation, adjustable from 1–99V. Use this mode as a last resort and always start with the lowest effective level.

Refer to your Heaflex D8 remote control manual for instructions on how to select and activate these modes.

One-Click Off Button

The receiver is equipped with a convenient one-click off button. Pressing this button will instantly deactivate the receiver, providing quick control for emergencies or when training is completed.

Waterproof Design (IP67)

The receiver boasts an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected from dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for use in various weather conditions and allows your dog to swim or play in water without damaging the device. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed when near water.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Heaflex D8 accessories.

• Cleaning the Receiver: Regularly clean the receiver and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the device is completely dry before charging or re-use.
• Charging Practices: Always use the provided 2-in-1 USB charging cable. Avoid using damaged cables or non-compatible chargers. Do not overcharge the devices; disconnect once fully charged.
• Storage: Store the receiver and cable in a dry, cool place when not in use.
• Material Durability: The PVC power cable is designed to be soft, elastic, and resistant to stretching and twisting. The receiver's anti-bite, wear-resistant materials contribute to its durability. However, regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
