Fitting the collar on the dog – Dogtra 2300 Series User Manual

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG

The collar should be fitted so that the

Surgical Stainless Steel contact points press
firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be
able to fit a finger in between the contact point
and your dog’s skin.

A loose fit can allow the collar to move

around on the dog’s neck. When this happens,
the contact points may rub the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent and your
corrections will be inconsistent also.

TESTING

3. Turn the transmitter on by pressing the blue

button on the right side of the transmitter until
the LCD screen illuminates. The LCD screen
shows the amount of battery life remaining
and the LED blinks once every 4 seconds.

4. Watch the test light as you push the “Nick”

button on the transmitter. It should light for
just a moment.

5. Watch the test light as you push the

“Constant” button on the transmitter. It should
light for as long as the button is pressed.
However, as a safety feature, the
collar/receiver will automatically shut off
stimulation if the constant button is depressed
for 12 seconds or longer.

6. Turn the Rheostat Intensity Dial on the

transmitter clockwise and then
counterclockwise. The test light should glow
brighter with higher levels of stimulation and
dimmer with lower levels. When you change
the intensity dial, the number on the LCD
screen will change as well.

7. Pressing the “Pager” button on the front of the

transmitter causes the collar to vibrate for up
to 12 seconds. The collar will reactivate when
you push the button again.

NOTE : The test light may not come on if the

intensity level is set below level ten.
