STIMULATION
Your Remote Trainer has many levels of intensity so you can find the best level
for your dog’s temperament and the type of training you do. You may also select
either continuous or momentary stimulation, depending on your dog’s
temperament and your training purpose.
Intensity Selection. There are two ways to change intensity, with the intensity
dial and with the button you choose. When you want a different intensity level,
you can move the intensity dial or use a different transmitter button, or do both,
depending on your model. This flexible approach to remote training has made
Tri-Tronics products the favorite of both experienced trainers and beginners for
many years.
The numbers on the intensity dial indicate the stimulation intensity level. These
numbers are 1 – 6 on your G2 or G2 EXP unit. They are 1 – 5 with half steps,
for a total of 10 distinct dial levels, on your Sport G3 unit. Depending on your
button selection and your model, you can use a stronger or milder version of each
numbered dial level.
On the Field and Pro models that have a pair of buttons for the same type of
stimulation (continuous or momentary), the bottom button of the pair will deliver
low and the top button of the pair will deliver medium stimulation for that
numbered dial level. Pressing both at the same time will deliver high stimulation
for that numbered dial level.
On the Sport Combo G3 with the mode selector set on the upper or middle
position (“M/C/C” or “C/M/M”), the bottom button will deliver the milder
stimulation and the middle button will deliver the stronger stimulation. This
product is not designed for pressing both buttons at the same time.

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
Place the collar strap in the middle of the
dog’s neck. The receiver should be on the
underside of his neck although on some
dogs’ necks the receiver will naturally seek a
slightly off-center position. The receiver light
should face forward (towards the dog’s nose).
The charging contacts should face backwards
(towards the dog’s chest).
Tighten the buckle by holding it with two fingers as
you pull the strap snug. Remote training collars
must be put on a dog quite snugly to ensure consis-
tent contact and reliable stimulation. Do not put
any fingers under the strap as you tighten it. Slip
the free end of the strap through any D-ring or
keeper that is present, and through both sides of a
double-sided buckle. You can easily adjust the strap
for different sized necks by moving the receiver to a new position on the strap. If
the strap is too long for your dog, cut off the excess length. Leave enough length
to go through the D-ring or keeper with at least 3 inches to spare.
NOTE: Do not cut the collar strap of your Upland unit until you have also
installed the Beeper on the strap or your cut strap may be too short to reach
around both the receiver and the Beeper.
Please note that Remote Trainers are not designed to be worn continuously by a
dog. To prevent irritation caused by rubbing, remove the collar for at least eight
hours out of every 24-hour period. See the additional information in the Product
Safety section of this guide.
