Cold Weather Performance
I
All batteries experience a drop in voltage during cold weather.
•
The batteries may run down more quickly during the winter months.
•
The stimulation the dog feels may not be as strong in cold weather
•
For best results in the cold months, store your remote trainer at room
•
temperature when not in use.
Charge the unit at room temperature.
•
Receiver (or Dog) Does Not Seem To Respond
I
Check to see that both the transmitter and receiver are turned "on".
•
Check to see that you have a communication "link" between the transmitter
•
and the receiver
Check to make sure both batteries are charged.
•
Check to see that the collar is snug and that the ends of the contact posts
•
are touching your dog's neck.
Check the correction level. If the correction level is set to "0" (safety mode)
•
no signal will be sent to the receiver. If it is on a low setting, try increasing
the correction level (gradually). See instructions on page 6.
If your transmitter is programmed for use with 2 dogs, check to see that
•
your transmitter is set to the correct collar.
The Transmitter Range Is Reduced
I
The Remote trainer is designed to operate up to ½ mile.
•
The range may be affected by variations in terrain, weather, buildings and
•
other obstructions.
For best operation hold the transmitter with the antenna pointed toward the
•
sky, not towards the dog.
Keep your fingers away from the antenna. Touching the antenna will greatly
•
reduce the range.
The Battery Does Not Seem To Charge
I
Be sure the charging plugs are fully inserted. See page 7 for battery
•
charging instructions.
Make sure you are using the battery charger provided with the trainer.
•
If the battery does not hold a charge as long as it used to, it may be time to
•
replace the battery. If the battery is less than two years old, check with
Customer Service for other Toubleshooting options before returning the
unit for battery replacement. For battery replacement, see page 19.
