INTENSITY SELECTION

The 2500T&B has a Rheostat Dial on the top of the 
transmitter (0 is the lowest and 127 is the highest). 
Remember that you will need to adjust the setting (upward 
or downward) depending on your dog’s temperament 
and threshold for stimulation. Also, as the dog’s attitude 
changes, especially during times of increased excitement 
or distraction, you may need to adjust the intensity level. 

Note: 

The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even when 

the stimulation is in use.

FAMILIARIZING THE DOG TO THE BEEPER SOUND

Turn the receiver on and leave it outside the dog’s kennel 
area for about 30 minutes. Repeat this several times until 
you can see that the dog disregards the beeper. Next, 
adjust the beeper volume level to level L1, the lowest level. 
Fit the receiver on the dog and select the desired beeper 
volume level as the dog becomes accustomed to the 
beeping sound.

Attention!

Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s 
neck for an extended period of time can cause skin 
irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long 
periods, occasionally reposition the receiver so that the 
contact points are moved to a different location on the 
dog’s neck. Make sure you check for skin irritation each 
time you use the unit.
