FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which devices will my Receiver operate?
In addition to the SportDOG Brand®Basket, the Receiver can be attached
to a variety of items. The included brackets allow Receivers to be
attached to other manufacturers’ baskets, wingers, or other devices.
Only use SportDOG Brand extension cables when connectiong to other
devices. Please verify compatibility with the manufacturer of your
device.
Will I get exactly 1/2 mile of range with the
SportDOG Launcher Electronics?
The range you get with your SportDOG™ Launcher Electronics will vary
according to terrain, weather, vegetation, and transmission from other
radio devices. To get the maximum amount of range, please refer to the
“How the System Works” section of this guide.
Are the Basket, Transmitter, and Receiver
waterproof?
Yes. The Basket, Transmitter, and Receiver are waterproof and
submersible. If the Receiver’s ports get wet you will want to allow them
to dry before next use.
Can I program my Receiver to other SportDOG
Brand Transmitters?
Yes. You can program your Receiver to work with SD-425, SD-425S,
SD-425CAMO, SD-825, SD-1825, SD-1825CAMO, SD-1875, and
SD-2525 Transmitters. When using the Launcher with your SportDOG
Transmitter, the LAUNCH button(s) is used to launch the basket. If
you want to incorporate duck, pheasant, or shotgun report sounds
into your training, you will need to purchase a Launcher Transmitter
(SD-LAUNCHER-T).
