Tri-Tronics Sportsman - Manual (Page 15)

Now set the lower rocker switch to HI. Press and hold
the stimulation button. The collar LED will glow
slightly longer, then return to the state of blinking
once per second, even though you are still holding
the stimulation button down. The transmitter LED
will stay on for about 1/2 second.
It is not necessary to tap the button for a brief pulse
of stimulation. The momentary mode does this for
you automatically. Press and release the button in a
natural fashion.
Deactivating the Collar. When you are through
practicing, press the on/off switch on the collar to
deactivate the collar. The red LED will stop blinking.
This prevents unnecessary drain on the batteries.
Storing the Sportsman Between Training Sessions.
When you put your transmitter away, be sure the
stimulation button is not accidentally depressed into
the “on” position, or you will drain your battery.
Understanding the Time-Out Feature.
The Sportsman is designed so that continuous
stimulation cannot stay on longer than about ten
seconds at a time. If the stimulation button is held
down for a longer period, the transmitter will
automatically “time-out” and turn off the stimulation.
When this happens, you can reactivate the transmitter
by releasing the button and then pressing it again.
IMPORTANT: Be sure you always wait one-half second
or more after releasing the button before you press it
again, even if the transmitter hasn’t “timed-out” yet. If
you do not wait long enough before pressing the button
again, you could “time-out” the collar. If this happens,
you must reset the collar by turning it off and then on
again with the on/off switch.
Range. The range of the Sportsman is up to one-half
mile in flat, open terrain. The range you achieve in
actual use depends on many factors – terrain, foliage,
humidity, metal fences, screen doors, antennas and
