Training Tip Find the best stimulation for your dog Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. The Remote Training Collar has 8 types of Warning Tones, 3 levels of Vibration
(Light, Medium, and High), and the Vibration Boost with a constant intensity. For Warning Tones, there are 8 types of Tones, with only frequency differences between the different types. For Vibration, level L is the lowest; level H is the highest. This allows you to choose the Stimulation level that is best for your dog. Once you have placed the Receiver on your dog, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level. A slight change in your dog's behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for your dog. Follow the steps below to find your dog's Recognition Level:
1.Starting at the lowest level, press the Warning Tone/Vibration/Vibration Boost Button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds. Note: When the Warning Tone/Vibration/Vibration Boost Button is held down for 10 consecutive seconds, the Remote Transmitter will "time out", and you must release and press the button again before additional stimulation can be delivered. 2. If your dog shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation Level several times before moving up to the next level. 16 3 .

Move up through the Stimulation Level until your dog reliably responds to the stimulation. 5. If your dog continues to show no response at the highest level of the Warning Tone and Vibration, or Vibration Boost, check the fit of the Receiver. Then go back to #1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your dog's hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points. If, after completing all of these steps, your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, please contact our customer service. How to Maximize the distance?
Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range. Hold the Remote Transmitter in a horizontal position away from your body to achieve optimum range. For maximum signal strength, keep the device properly charged.
*Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease substantially. XI. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the Receiver waterproof?
