Dog Guard DG9000, Installation And Training Manual

Page: 31 / 41

Equipment Information
Before you begin training your pet, it is important to review how your Dog Guard
equipment functions.
TRANSMITTER
•
The GREEN LIGHT on the transmitter indicates power.
•
The RED LIGHT on the transmitter indicates a complete, intact wire loop.
•
The YELLOW LIGHT on the transmitter indicates an internal problem with the
transmitter board, i.e.: a lightning hit or power surge.
•
The RANGE KNOB on the transmitter should be set to the desired distance and left
alone. This knob works to increase or decrease the signal field from the wire, and has
no effect on the strength of the correction from the receiver collar.
•
In most cases, the SIGNAL FIELD should be set 5 - 8 feet from the wire.
•
The transmitter has LIGHTNING & SURGE PROTECTION built in.
•
The transmitter has a LIFETIME guarantee against LIGHTNING damage.
RECEIVER
•
The RECEIVER COLLAR should fit your pet’s neck snugly, allowing the probes to
make contact with the skin. If your pet’s coat is too heavy or thick, clip away hair on
the neck to allow the receiver probes to fit properly. Use a petroleum-based lubricant
on the contact area initially.
•
The BATTERIES are to be changed every 4 months using a DG battery, available
through the DG battery plan or your DG dealer.
•
Batteries are put in the receiver battery chamber with the positive side facing out.
•
There is a 2-YEAR WARRANTY on the receiver collar.
•
An OPTIONAL LIFETIME GUARANTEE on the receiver is available for a fee.
