Tri-Tronics Sport® Series Remote Trainers - Manual (Page 21)

Charging Time. C h a rge your collar for at least 14 hours. It's okay
to use your collar before the 14 hours are up; it will function
normally. A 14-hour charge ensures full battery capacity. You
can leave your collar on charge when not in use, if you wish.
Replacing Collar Batteries. Proper battery care will help ensure
maximum life from your rechargeable collar batteries. When
your collar batteries do need to be replaced, you can replace
them yourself with parts obtained from Tri-Tronics. Follow
the instructions that come with the replacement battery pack.
Contact your local officials to find out whether any special
disposal requirements applying to used NiMH batteries are
in effect where you live.
While collar batteries are user-replaceable, they are not
intended to be “field-replaceable.” Open a collar away from
the field to avoid contamination. Open a collar only for the
purpose of replacing batteries.
Storing a Remote Trainer
Before storing your Remote Trainer for an extended period,
charge the collar for 14 hours. Thereafter, charge every
three months while the collar is in storage, and charge for
14 hours immediately before first use. If the storage time
will exceed six months, remove the 9-volt battery from
the transmitter. It's always best to store a Remote Tr a i n e r
at room temperature .
