DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold Temperature
In cold temperatures (10 degrees F or
below), the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on
your transmitter may be dim or slow to respond.
Wait until the display becomes visible before
selecting any training level.
Even though the LCD screen might be
dim or slow to respond when you push the Nick
or Constant button, the transmitter will still
function properly. In the occurrence of extremely
cold weather, the LCD screen might take a
moment to respond causing the intensity level to
freeze at that current level. In this situation, if
you turn the rheostat intensity dial, the level on
the screen may not change but the actual
intensity from the coller/receiver will change in
agreement with the dial.
In this situation, it is ideal to either wait
until your transmitter is back to working order
before emitting a correction, or while holding the
constant button down slowly turn the Rheostat
Intensity Dial while watching your dog’s
reaction. Do not turn the Rheostat Intensity Dial
at a rapid increase because the collar/receiver
will emit a static correction based on the level of
the Rheostat Intensity Dial, which might not be
correctly reflected on the LCD screen.
Suggestion: Carry your remote close to
your body as your body’s warmth can
improve operation and viewing of the LCD
screen.

Transmitter Indicator Light (LED Window)
The transmitter LED indicator light is
located near the Rheostat Intensity Dial. It will
flash every 4 seconds when the transmitter has
been turned on. The color of the light indicates
the status of battery life. It flashes green when
the battery is fully charged and turns to amber
when the battery is at medium charge. It is
acceptable to charge your unit even at medium
charge without any damage incurred to your
collar. When the transmitter indicator emits a
blinking red light, the battery needs to be
recharged.
(Green = full charge, Amber = medium
charge, Red = needs charge)
