INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our Rapid Access Pro Trainer
(R.A.P.T.
TM
) series remote training collar, the latest in e-
collar technology and ergonomic design. The highlight of
the system is the unique "hands-free" design of the remote
transmitter - the new patented “Rapid Access" total con-
trol button is easily accessible for instantaneous correction
of your dog and our patented "SureGrip" strap securely
holds the unit in place - freeing up your hands for other
activities. The compact design offers worry-free operation
and the downsized collar unit means worry-free use and
freedom of movement for your dog in the field.
The R.A.P.T. series features a 1,400 yard range made
possible by our exclusive MAXX-Range 360 technology to
ensure positive FM signal reception, no matter the terrain.
The R.A.P.T. 1400 e-collar also boasts full waterproof ca-
pability of the Collar and the Transmitter (the Transmitter
even floats just in case it ever goes overboard).
The Gentle Touch feature (with 16 levels of stimulation)
easily adjusts at your fingertips and always ensures the
proper setting for your dog's unique personality.
Various models will offer Vibration Assist, Jump Stimula-
tion, Beeper Locator functions, and compatibility with our
remote launchers.
Our Vibration Assist lends a helping hand in the form of an
audible vibration emitted from the collar to aid in training
for a no-shock alternative stimulus.
The new D.T. Systems R.A.P.T. 1400 collar is the result of
over 30 years of experience researching, producing, and
field testing the best E-collars in the business.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
• Before training with this unit, your dog’s health
should be examined by a veterinarian.
• Do not use with aggressive-tempered dogs.
•
••
• Your R.A.P.T. Series
TM
collar is a very valuable tool
if used correctly. It is extremely important that you
completely understand all the functions of the collar
and how to properly train with it before placing it on
your dog.
• Test your system before placing the collar unit on
your dog(s) to help prevent possible interruptions
and inconsistencies during training and field time.
• Never leave your dog unattended with the unit
on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a
very slight possibility that your dog may receive an
unintentional electric stimulation.
• To prevent neck irritations, the collar should
never be worn for more than 12 hours a day.
Changing the collar location on the dog’s neck daily
will also help prevent irritations. It is recommended
to reposition the collar every 1-2 hours of use.
• It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the
electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacterial soap.
• If an irritation is found, carefully wash the dog’s neck
with soap and water and then wipe the area with
Hydrogen peroxide. Dry thoroughly and apply an
antibiotic ointment. If condition persists beyond 48
hours, please consult a veterinarian.
