Setting the impulse intensity 

The 

EF-4000

 collar is equipped with 

8 modes

 so you can adapt the level of impulses to the size 

and sensitivity of your dog.  

To change the mode, the collar must be switched on (battery in its housing).  

Opening the battery cover gives you access to the push button indicated by a pointer (See 
Diagram #2).  
To activate this push button, use a pointed object such as a pencil tip. 
The mode is changed by pressing and holding the push button: a number of beeps (from 1 to 8) 
is then emitted by the collar.  
Keep the button pushed in to run through the modes. Release once the desired mode is reached: 
the collar memorizes the configuration you select.

NB: 

your 

EF-4000 

has been set Mode 4 in the factory. Before using the system, adjust this 

setting according to your dog sensibility. 

Three functions safety system:  
1)  Breakage of antenna wire:  

If the antenna wire breaks (or the connection fails), the transmitter alerts you to this operating 
fault with a beep.  

2)  Leaving the warning zone:  

After 20 seconds (approx.) of continuous presence in the warning zone, your dog will be signalled 
to leave the zone by the emission of a few short impulses.  

3)  Leaving the impulse zone:  

If your dog remains immobile in the impulse zone for approximately 20 seconds, the system stops 
emitting corrective impulses. The impulse cycle resumes when your dog leaves this zone.
