TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Note: Giving the Remote Trainer a good charge can often resolve a performance problem.
Also, it is fine to leave a unit on the charger between uses and this may be the best way to ensure that your Remote Trainer stays
well charged.
Note About Cold Weather Performance
All batteries experience a normal drop in voltage during cold weather. As a battery powered device, your Remote Trainer can be
affected by normal voltage drops during winter months and experience such things as:
• Batteries can run down more rapidly.
• Unit can be “dead” before you expected based on last charging.
• Stimulation can become weaker.
• Unit can switch itself off while training (evidence of low batteries).
For best performance during winter months, follow these guidelines:
1. Keep the unit at room temperature when it is not being used. Do not store overnight in unheated areas such as vehicles, sheds,
or garages. When traveling, transport your Remote Trainer in the passenger cab, not in the back of the truck.
2. Charge the unit at room temperature. If the unit is cold, give it two hours to reach room temperature before charging.
3. Charge more frequently and allow a full 2-hour charge whenever possible.
Note: The Remote Trainer may be left on charge when not in use (trickle charge).
4. Check the tri-color battery life indicator for a color change, and always check just prior to training.
5. Also note that in very cold weather, you may need to use a slightly higher stimulation setting to achieve
the same level of intensity.
