Remove the old battery and install the new battery in the correct direction. Use a
Duracell or Eveready 9-volt alkaline battery. Note that some other brands will be
too long and will not fit correctly. Never force a battery into this compartment.
Replace the battery cover and tighten the screws (do not over-tighten).
Check for function by turning the Beeper on, or by pressing a button while you
watch the transmitter light. If there is no function, you may have installed the
battery backwards. If so, take it out and turn it around.
Receiver Batteries
Proper battery care will help ensure maximum life from your rechargeable receiver
batteries. When your receiver batteries do need to be replaced, you can replace
them yourself with a convenient battery pack obtained from Tri-Tronics. Follow
the included instructions.
Field & Pro G2 and G2 EXP Transmitter Batteries
Your rechargeable Field & Pro G2 and G2 EXP transmitter batteries will last for
several years with proper care. When they need replacement, the battery pack has
a convenient twist-off design (“bayonet mount”), and is easily replaced with a
new G2 and G2 EXP transmitter battery pack from Tri-Tronics. Be sure that the
Tri-Tronics logo on the battery pack is facing forward (under the transmitter
buttons) when you place it for installation. Press it against the transmitter body
and twist slightly to secure it.
CARE AND CLEANING
•
Check contact points and transmitter antenna for tightness regularly
(the Sport G3 Series antenna is permanently attached to the transmitter
and does not need to be checked).

Introducing an Inexperienced Dog to the Beeper
The Beeper is loud. It can startle or alarm an inexperienced dog at first. If your
dog isn’t used to beeper collars, begin hunting him with the Beeper set on low
volume instead of high volume. You can also muffle the sound by placing duct
tape over the horn, or a cotton ball in the horn. Another technique for getting a
dog used to beeper collars is to hang a beeper at least 20 yards away from the dog’s
kennel, and let him listen to it beeping for several hours before you put it on him
and hunt.
Beeper Care and Maintenance
Remove the Beeper from the collar strap for thorough cleaning. You can wipe the
Beeper with a damp cloth and mild detergent if desired. Do not use any solvents
as they can cause damage. Do not submerge the Beeper when cleaning it.
Dirt and debris can cause the Beeper sound to change. To clean debris from the
Beeper horn, use only a moistened cotton swab. Do not use any sharp or pointed
objects or damage to the horn may result.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Sport G3 Transmitter and Beeper Battery
Your product is shipped with one 9-volt battery installed. This battery will last for
many months with normal use. If you see the transmitter light flash rapidly when
a button is pressed, it is time to replace the transmitter battery.
To change the battery on your Sport G3 Transmitter, unscrew the four Phillips
head screws on the back of the transmitter, and lift the battery cover off.
To change the battery on your Beeper, unscrew the four Phillips head screws on
the underside of the Beeper. Slide the cover along the collar strap to expose the
Beeper battery compartment.
