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 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 intensity dial, the
level on the screen may not change but the actual
intensity from the receiver/coller 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 Intensity Dial while
watching your dog’s reaction. Do not turn the
Rheostat Intensity Dial at a rapid increase because
the receiver/collar will emit a static correction based
on the level of the Rheostat Intensity Dial, which
might not be correctly reflected on the LCD screen.
Suggestion:
Carry your remote close to your body
as your body’s warmth can improve operation and
viewing of the LCD screen.

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,
