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.
