Battery Charging Procedure

The ARC HANDSFREE uses lithium-polymer batteries.

The battery charger and charging cables allow you to 
charge both the transmitter and receiver at the same time. 
The battery charger is designed for a 120 volt wall outlet.

Note 1: 

Only use Dogtra-approved lithium polymer batteries 

and chargers for your Dogtra e-collar. This will prevent any 
damage that can be incurred from attempting to use a 
different charger.

Note 2: 

The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the 

Dogtra facility. Upon receipt of the e-collar, be sure to give 
it a full 2-hour initial charge before the first use. When a 
charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.

1. Attach the charging cables to both the transmitter and

receiver, as shown above.

2. Plug the charger into a 120 volt wall outlet or, if using the 

auto charger, plug into a cigarette lighter only for lithium 
polymer batteries (use a 230 volt European charger 
for Europe). All indicator lights should glow red when 
properly plugged in and the unit will automatically shut 
off during the charging process. You will need to turn the 
unit on again before use once the unit is fully charged 
and unplugged from the battery cable.

3. The lithium polymer battery is fully charged within 2 

hours. The lights will stay red during the charging 
process. The red light will turn green once the unit is fully 
charged.

4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles 

with the rubber plugs on the transmitter and receiver.
