ReadyTest
®
Feature
ReadyTest is a startup feature that lets you know the status of the battery
as well as the current correction level of the receiver collar. It also
checks that all circuits are working correctly. This mode automatically
starts every time you remove the receiver collar from the charger, or
first turn it on. If
the receiver collar is on your pet during the ReadyTest
startup, the test will fail and the receiver collar will automatically turn
off. This also means the system will not contain your pet!
If the receiver collar fails the ReadyTest startup, the receiver collar is automatically turned off; your pet will not be contained.
If the ReadyTest feature does detect a problem, the receiver collar
will continually beep and the indicator light will glow solid red for
20 seconds. The receiver collar will automatically turn off. Do not
put the receiver collar on your pet at this time; your pet will not be
contained. Instead, turn the receiver collar back on and repeat the
test. If the receiver collar continues to fail the ReadyTest startup, call
the Customer Care Center.
PerfectFit Test
This test is an added feature to verify a “perfect” fit of the collar
around your pet’s neck; however, it is not required for the system
to function. After the ReadyTest statup finishes with the series of red
flashes that correspond to the static correction, the receiver collar will
automatically start the PerfectFit mode. For 90 seconds the receiver
collar will continually flash red+green together. You must place the
receiver collar on your pet and adjust the fit within the 90 seconds or
it will go back to normal operation mode and flash the status of the
battery (red, green, or red+green together) every 4 seconds.
After you adjust the collar on your pet and the contact points are
touching his or her skin (or if you inadvertently touch both of the
contact points with your fingers), the receiver collar will emit a unique
double tone. You will know you have the proper fit after you hear
5 consecutive double tones and you see 5 green flashes. Then the
receiver collar moves into normal operation mode and flashes the
status of the battery every 4 seconds.
Turn Off the Receiver Collar
To turn off the receiver collar, press and hold the mode button
continuously for 5 seconds until the red light turns off. To extend the
time between charging the receiver collar, consider turning off the
receiver collar when it is not in use.
Set the Static Correction Level
The static correction levels increase in strength from 2 to 6, with level
1 being tone only (no correction), and level 6 being the maximum
setting. Refer to the table to the right to choose the static correction
that best fits your pet.
To set or check the static correction, press and hold the mode button
until you see a red light. Then let go. The collar will then emit a series
of red flashes that correspond to the current correction level (e.g., 4
red flashes means level 4). Press and hold the mode button again
for 1 second to increase the level by one setting. You must count the
number of red flashes to determine the level setting.
Note:
Once you count 6 red flashes you are at level 6, and an
additional hold will cycle the receiver collar back to level 1, which is
tone only.
Refer to the table “Receiver Collar Status Indicators” on page
29 for a complete guide to all the status lights and tones for the
receiver collar.
