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, 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 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.

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.
