Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold Temperature
In cold temperatures (10°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 when you push the
Nick or Constant button, the transmitter will still function
properly. 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 Dial, the level on the
screen may not change but the actual intensity from the
receiver will change in agreement with the dial. 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 Dial while watching your dog’s, reaction. Do not
turn the Rheostat Dial rapidly, because the receiver will
emit a static correction based on the level of the Rheostat
Dial, which might not be correctly reflected on the LCD
screen.
Attention!
When using the unit in cold temperatures, it is
recommended that the transmitter is placed under
your jacket next to your body. The warmth of your
body will greatly improve the battery life and usage.
