TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SPECIAL NOTE: 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 charg i n g
• Stimulation can be less strong
• Unit can turn 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 charg i n g .
3.Charge more frequently and allow a full 14-hour charge
whenever possible. Note: The Sport ® Series collar may be
left on the charger when not in use (“trickle charg e ” ) .
4.Check frequently for the low battery indicator, and always
check just prior to training.
PROBLEM #1: No stimulation when a transmitter
button is pressed.
The collar has not been activated. The collar must be
turned on or it won’t work at all. Page 9 .
The transmitter intensity dial is set on “N” or “T”.
Select a numbered position. Page 11.
An antenna is not installed in the transmitter, or is
broken or loose. The antenna must be inserted in the
transmitter for proper radio communication between it and
the collar. Page 9. Check the antenna for physical damage and
replace, if needed.
The batteries in either the collar or the transmitter are
dead. Recharge or replace, as needed. Page 15.
