PARTS & FUNCTIONS
CAUTION
If the collar belt is too long, we recommend looping the ex-
cess collar belt back around through the buckle. We DO
NOT recommend cutting the collar belt. Cutting the collar
belt can drastically reduce the range of your collar unit.
However, the collar belt can be cut up to about 3 inches
without affecting the range too much.
Collar Belt with MAXX-Range™ 360 Antenna - The
embedded MAXX-Range™ Antenna is woven into the
collar belt and runs along the entire length of the belt,
providing the range of an external antenna without the
drawback of sticking out from your dog. Because it
wraps around the neck along with the collar belt, the
MAXX-Range Antenna provides 360˚ degrees of
signal reception and is not blocked by your dog’s
body, regardless of which direction your dog is facing.
NOTE
The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into the charg-
ing receptacle. However, if water should get in, we recom-
mend rinsing out the charging receptacle and allowing it to
dry, especially after use in salt water. This will prevent pre-
mature corrosion in the metal pins inside that make contact
with the charger plug.
Battery Charging Receptacles - The charger cables
plug into the Charging Receptacle for recharging
(located on the side of the Collar Receiver facing the
dog’s neck). After charging, always close the Charg-
ing Receptacle with the rubber plug to prevent
foreign particles from getting inside the unit.

TESTING
To Test the Beeper:
(R.A.P.T. 1450 only)
1. Press Button #1 on the transmitter (Locate button)
and the collar will beep.
2. Press Button #2 on the transmitter (Run/Point
button) to activate the Run & Point mode. Press
the button again to change to Point Only mode. In
the Run & Point mode, the collar will beep every 4-5
seconds while shaking the collar unit (simulating a
dog on the run), and every 1-2 seconds when
keeping the collar unit motionless (simulating your
dog on point). In the Point only mode, the collar will
beep only when the collar unit remains motionless.
3. Press the Locate button to cancel these modes.
To Test the Range:
(NOTE: You will need someone to assist you. If you
are testing longer ranges, find a large, safe area with
clear line-of-sight. A 2-way communication device will
help when testing.)
1. Have one person control the Transmitter and other
person hold the collar unit with test light attached.
2. Start moving apart and perform any of the previ-
ous tests in this testing section.
3. Have a way to communicate results during testing.
To Test the Launcher Functions:
(R.A.P.T. 1400 ELITE only)
Refer to launcher testing procedures in respective
manuals (Button #1 = ‘BIRD, Button #2 = ‘BEEPER).
