CHARGING THE BATTERIES
All
R.A.P.T. Series
TM
collar units are equipped with
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries,
which are not memory sensitive and do not require
depletion before recharging. Although batteries come
partially charged from the factory, it is recommended
that they are given a full charge (about 12 hours)
before initial use.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. Plug the charger into a
standard electrical outlet.
3. Connect the Triple-Jack Cable to the end of the
charger and plug the end into the collar unit. The
SmartLED should light solid
red
while charging.
Additional
Collar
Units
can
be
charged
simultaneously with the Triple-Jack Cable.
4. Charging is complete when the SmartLED turns
green
(may take up to 12 hours).
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the battery
charging cables from the receptacles, securely
replace the rubber battery receptacle covers, and
test unit.
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE WHILE UNIT IS WET!
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on
average depending on use and care. Keep batteries away
from flammable substances. See
page 20
for more infor-
mation on battery maintenance.

TURNING ON AND OFF
The Transmitter is always in a permanent sleep state.
It is only ON when a button is being pressed and does
not need to be turned off by the user. If the
Transmitter does not activate, make sure you have a
good battery installed and that your Collar Selector
Dial is not in the Lockout position.
Turning the Collar Unit ON/OFF:
Turning the Collar Unit ON and OFF uses the same
procedure:
1. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (
white dot
)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch
(
small bump
) on the right side of the Collar Unit.
2. The SmartLED Indicator will light solid for a
second and then start flashing. Remove the
Transmitter from the Collar Unit when the
SmartLED light begins to flash.
If the Collar Unit has been turned ON, the SmartLED
will flash approximately every other second. If the
Collar Unit has been turned OFF, the SmartLED will
no longer be flashing.
NOTE
If the LED on the Transmitter flashes
red
rapidly after any
button is pressed, the 9V battery will need to be replaced.
If the SmartLED on the Collar Unit double-flashes
red
every
other second while ON, the unit will need to be recharged.
If this happens soon after a full charging session, the re-
chargeable batteries in the Collar Unit may need to be re-
placed.
