Rechargeable Batteries
: The rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion
before charging.
: The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge (4-5 hours)
before the first use.
: Remember—always keep batteries away from flame.
: When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge (3-4
hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.
: The Elite Trainers are equipped with a safety feature to prevent over charging.
: If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience a
decrease in battery life the first few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to previous
capacity levels.
: You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable
batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience.
This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer
Care Center.
Do not attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used
battery properly.
Step 3
Fit the Pendant
™
Receiver
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Pendant ™ Receiver is important for
effective operation. The Contact Loops must have direct contact with your
dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Pendant ™ is turned off.
2. Attach the Pendant ™ to collar. See page 7 for instructions.
3. Start with your dog standing comfortably ( 3A).
4. Place the collar and Pendant ™ Receiver on the your
dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Contact Loops
underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin ( 3B).
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the
Contact Loops to make sure that contact is consistent.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may
increase the risk of skin irritation.
5. Check the tightness of the collar and Pendant ™ Receiver
by inserting one finger between the collar and your dog’s
neck ( 3C). The fit should be snug but not constricting.
6. Allow your dog to wear the collar and Pendant ™ for
several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again
as your dog becomes more comfortable with the collar
and Pendant ™ .
The Pendant ™ Receiver should not be worn for more than 12 hours out
of every 24-hour period. Leaving the collar on too long could lead to skin
irritation. Please refer to page 2 for additional information.
