User’s guide – DOGTEK BC-60
4/6
Power On the collar
BC-60 is supplied with battery fitted.
Lift the N
r
2 setting mask (cf. Diagram 1) and turn the On/Off switch to On (cf. Diagram 2). After a few seconds, a
beep sound will be emitted indicating that the collar is ready for use.
Adjustment and positioning of the collar
The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the dog’s skin.
−
If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog.
Furthermore, the collar will not function correctly.
−
If the strap is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
Place the collar at the center of the dog’s neck.
Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog. Check your dog’s neck regularly. If
irritations appear, remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have disappeared.
Changing the contact points
Two different series of contact points are supplied. The length of the contact points must be sufficient to have proper
contact with the dog’s skin, enabling the device to operate correctly.
If you have a long haired dog and the short contact points fitted to the collar in the factory are inadequate, remove
and replace them with the long contact points supplied with the kit.
Carefully tightened them manually (do not use a key).
Operation
At the first bark, a series of six beep sounds is emitted. If another bark is detected within 30 seconds, another beep
sound of 2 seconds is emitted together with a stimulation (short or long as selected – cf. Diagram 2). Inhibition of any
further stimulation is dependant on the absence of any barking within the next 30 seconds.
The stimulation function can be inhibited using the stimulation switch located under the N
r
1 setting mask. In this
case, only the beep sounds will be emitted.
In the factory, the stimulation switch is set on “beep sounds only”.
Setting the barking detection sensitivity
Setting the barking detection sensitivity is a very important preliminary operation. In fact, this setting determines the
correct operation of the product.
It ensures detection of any barking but helps avoids unnecessary detection.
The detection must therefore be sufficiently sensitive but not overly sensitive (cf. Diagram 2).
In the factory, barking detection sensitivity is set on the medium position (medium sensitivity).
The barking detection sensitivity setting screw is located under the N
r
1 setting mask (cf. Diagram 1 and 2).
Checking the device operates correctly
−
Before doing so, make sure the collar is turned Off.
−
Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact points (unscrewing them lightly and the retightening
them so as to pinch the test lamp wires).
−
Switch On the collar.
−
Make a streaked object slide on the bark detection contact point (e.g. knife with teeth with sleeve isolated).
−
The test lamp will light indicating the collar is operating correctly.
−
Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the collar is turned Off.
