The G2 transmitter is waterproof. Intensity Dial Intensity levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Line up the number you select with the round light. “N” (no-stimulation) or “T” (tone) setting, depending on model. “A” is for future accessories, and for Beeper operation on models other than the Upland G2. Battery Life Indicator (“Fuel Gauge”) This light will be: • Green when the batteries are full. • Amber when the batteries are partly discharged. • Red when the batteries need charging very soon.
Antenna (One-mile range; two miles on Trashbreaker G2*) Screw the molded antenna into place before using. Do not operate the remote trainer without a transmitter antenna. Tone or Beeper Control Button Activates the no-stimulation signal tone (not on Classic 70 G2 or Trashbreaker G2). Turns Beeper on and off on Upland G2 Grip Battery Compartment To change the battery pack, rotate the battery pack slightly and remove from transmitter.
Receiver Light (“Fuel Gauge”) Flashes twice per second every four seconds when the collar is turned on. This light will be: Green when the batteries are full. Amber when the batteries are partly discharged. Red when the batteries need charging very soon. The G2 receiver is waterproof. Rapid red flashing means the batteries are completely dead and the unit will not function. Note that it takes 20 seconds after collar turn-on for the light to register battery level.
NOTE: CHARGE RECEIVER BEFORE FIRST USE. Contact Points Tri-Tronics’ patented insulated contact points ensure consistent stimulation under all conditions. Choose short or long points to match the dog’s coat type. Check contact points regularly for tightness. Use only our plastic wrench to remove or tighten and do not over tighten. Collar On/Off Button Press to turn the collar on. Two confirming tones will sound and the collar light will flash periodically while the collar is on.
Charging System (Two-Hour Recharge) The new cradle charging system keeps your receiver batteries in better condition than any previous charging system we’ve used. The charger charges rapidly – only two hours are needed. NiMH batteries do not have a “memory” so you can recharge at any time, even if the batteries have not run down. Also, you can leave the unit (or battery pack only) on charge in the cradle at all times when it is not in use, without damage to the batteries.
Everything said about the receiver charger in the section “Charging System” also applies to the transmitter charger. Cradle Light Function When the collar is charging at full current, the cradle light will be red. When the system switches to trickle charge, the cradle light will be green. The collar is now fully charged but may be left on charge. If the cradle light is off, power is interrupted or there is no collar on the charger.
Fitting the Collar on the Dog Place the collar strap in the middle of the dog’s neck. The receiver should be on the underside of his neck although on some dogs’ necks the receiver will naturally seek a slightly off-center position. The receiver light should face forward (towards the dog’s nose). The charging contacts should face backwards (towards the dog’s chest). Tighten the buckle by holding it with two fingers as you pull the strap snug.
“T” The stimulation buttons produce tone instead of stimulation. The meaning of the tone is determined by your dog’s training. “A” Any transmitter button will operate the Beeper (see separate Owner’s Guide accompanying Beeper). Future accessories will also be operated with this setting. The letter functions vary by model. Consult the Model Guide for the features of your model.
other than the Upland G2 can operate the Beeper if the intensity dial is set for “A” (accessory). In this case, any transmitter button will turn the Beeper on or off. On the Upland G2 the intensity dial must be on a number, not “N,” “T” or “A,” for the button to operate the Beeper. Complete instructions for Beeper operation are in the Beeper Owner’s Guide.
Radio Signal Issues Modern microprocessor technology virtually eliminates the possibility that your collar could be unintentionally set off by someone else with a Tri-Tronics product. Please contact our Customer Service Department at support@tritronics.com or 1-800-456-4343 with any questions. FCC Compliance The manufacturing of Tri-Tronics remote trainers involves exacting production methods, precise tuning, and stringent quality control tests.
Problem #1: No stimulation when a transmitter button is pressed. Problem #2: The Remote Trainer doesn’t have range, or the range has been significantly reduced. The collar has not been activated. The collar must be turned on or it won’t work at all. The antenna is not installed in the transmitter or is broken or loose. The antenna must be installed in the transmitter for proper function. Check the antenna for physical damage and replace if needed.
The intensity position is not correct. The ideal intensity level depends on the dog and the training situation. Try a different level. See the training manual and video that came with your Remote Trainer. Also note that in very cold weather, you may need to use a slightly higher setting to achieve the same level of intensity. Remember that the stimulation button must be released for the new setting to take effect. Problem #5: The collar deactivates itself while training.
Problem #8: The cradle light blinks red slowly when the unit is placed in the cradle. The cradle has diagnosed a failure condition in the battery pack being charged. Please call our customer service department.
