DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold
Temperature
In cold temperatures (10 degrees F or
below), the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on
your transmitter may be dim or slow to respond.
Wait until the display becomes visible before
selecting any training level.
Even though the LCD screen might be dim or
slow to respond, the transmitter will still function
properly when you push the Nick or Constant
button. In the occurrence of extremely cold
weather, the LCD screen might take a moment to
respond causing the intensity level to freeze at
that current level. In this situation, if you turn the
Rheostat Intensity Dial, and the intensity level on
the screen does not increase, yet you emit an
electrical stimulation, the level will be in
agreement with the new changed intensity level.
In this situation, it is ideal to either wait until
your transmitter is back to working order before
emitting a correction, or while holding the
constant button down slowly turn the Rheostat
Intensity Dial while watching your dog’s
reaction. Do not turn the Rheostat Intensity Dial
at a rapid increase because the collar/receiver
will emit a static correction based on the level of
the Rheostat Intensity Dial, which might not be
correctly reflected on the LCD screen.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Transmitter Indicator Light (LED Window)
The transmitter LED indicator light is located
near the Rheostat Intensity Dial. It will flash every
4 seconds when the transmitter has been turned
on. The color of the light indicates the status of
battery life. It flashes green when the battery is
fully charged and turns to amber when the battery
is at medium charge. It is acceptable to charge
your unit even at medium charge without any
damage incurred to your collar. When the
transmitter indicator emits a blinking red light, the
battery needs to be recharged.
(Green = full charge, Amber = medium
charge, Red = needs charge).
