selector dial on top of the handheld transmitter.
There are 8 levels of stimulation intensity, with level 1 being
the lowest level and level 8 being the highest.
The level of stimulation best suited for your dog depends on
your dog’s temperament and threshold for stimulation. Always
start at the lowest level and work your way up. The appropriate
level can be found when the dog responds to the stimulation
with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles.
The stimulation level may vary depending on the training
situation. When highly distracted, dogs will require a higher
level of stimulation.
6. To maximize the distance
The EDGE RT has a 1-mile range. The range may vary
depending on the way the transmitter is held. Hold the
transmitter away from your body to receive the greatest range.
For maximum signal strength, keep the EDGE RT properly
charged.
*Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease substantially.
