Replacing the battery of the collar
DOGTEK recommends using the same type and same brand of batteries as those supplied in your new
purchased device. Other brand of batteries might not operate, or not be compatible or alter the
performances of your collar.
The right batteries can be purchased from DOGTEK or from our distributor.
Unscrew the 4 screws on the battery cover and remove the old battery.
Insert the new battery in the position indicated on the plastic casing. A beep is emitted indicating
that the collar is ready for use.
If you inadvertently put the battery in the wrong way, the collar will not emit a beep.
Reposition the battery quickly otherwise you can damage the collar.
During fence set up and pet training, you will put a greater than normal load on the battery. You
may need to replace this original battery after 30-60 days depending on how much testing and
training you do. Under normal circumstances battery life is 6 months.
NB:
when you change the battery, your
EF-4000
memorises the mode you selected previously.
Changing the contacts points
Before replacing the contact points, make sure that you have correctly put the collar out of
service (remove the battery from its housing).
If your dog has a long-haired coat and the short contact points fitted in the factory are unsuitable,
unscrew these contact points and replace them with the long contact points supplied with the
accessories.
They should be tightened by hand.
Do not use pliers to tighten the contact points:
this may cause irreparable damage to the product.
Checking your EF-4000
Checking it is working properly:
You can check that your
EF-4000
is working properly at any time and display how it is working
using the test lamp.
Before making this check, ensure that your collar is out of service (battery removed from
the housing).
You can then place the test lamp in contact with each of the contact points (make a loop around
each contact points). Insert the battery into. Connect the transmitter to the power supply (power
unit plugged into the mains and switch On).
Walk up to the antenna wire. You should first hear the warning beep then, as you get closer to the
wire, the test lamp should light up. Your appliance is working perfectly.
Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure you remove the battery!
Checking the mode selected:
If you need to, or as your dog’s behavior changes as he becomes used to the
EF-4000,
you can
check the mode you selected some time ago.
A short press on the push button under the battery cover enables you to activate the beep and
count the number of beeps corresponding to the mode selected (1 to 8 beeps).
