Maintenance

The receiver and collar strap should be

cleaned periodically with detergent and water to
prevent malfunction.

Always clean and rinse the collar thoroughly

with tap water after use in salt water. Be sure the
charging receptacle is completely dry before
inserting the battery charger into the transmitter
or receiver.

OPERATING

Intensity Selection

To select the intensity level, start on the zero

(0) setting. Gradually increase the level until you
get a response from the dog that would be
equivalent to a quick pull or jerk with a leash.

Remember that you will need to adjust the

setting (upward or downward) as the dog’s
attitude changes, especially during times of
increased excitement or distraction.

Prolonged use of the Pager (12 seconds or

longer) will drain the batteries more quickly.
