COLLAR / RECEIVER COLLAR / RECEIVER Receiver Charging Receptacle Fitting the Collar on the Dog The collar should be fitted so that the stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on the dog’s neck. When this happens the contact points may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical contact will be inconsistent and your corrections will be inconsistent also.
BATTERY CHARGER CHARGING THE BATTERIES CHARGING THE BATTERIES BATTERY CHARGER Charging Cable 120 volt Charger Two-dog unit only The battery charger and charging cables allow you to charge both the transmitter and receiver at the same time. The battery charger is designed for a 120-volt wall outlet. (European 230-volt AC chargers and 12-volt field charger for your automobile are also available.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES 2. Do not charge the batteries near any flammable substances. 3.

TESTING TESTING TESTING YOUR COLLAR 2. Watch the test light as you push the “Nick” button on the transmitter. It should light for just a moment. 3. Watch the test light as you push the “Constant” button on the transmitter. It should glow brightly.

OPERATING OPERATING OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Fitting the Collar The collar strap should be adjusted so that the contact points are held firmly against the dog’s skin. If the collar is too loose, irritation may result from the contact points rubbing against the skin. If the dog has a heavy coat, move the receiver up and down to work the contact points down into the coat. Intensity Selection To select the intensity level, start on the zero (0) setting.
OPERATING Maintenance Always clean and rinse the collar thoroughly with tap water after use in salt water. The receiver and collar strap should be periodically cleaned with detergent and water to prevent malfunction. RECEPTION Reception The collar has one-mile range.
