HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The SportDOG
™
Brand C Train
™
system has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for dogs over 10 pounds. In
Containment and C Train modes, the system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 8,600
feet of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the dog’s Boundary Area. You temporarily
define the Boundary Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your dog. Your dog wears a Collar Receiver with Contact Points
that touch his neck and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Boundary Area. When your dog reaches the Warning Zone, the
Collar Receiver gives a warning beep. If your dog continues into the Stimulation Zone, a safe stimulation will be delivered through the
Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Boundary Area.
In
Training mode, consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands from up to 500 yards. The Remote
Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver stimulation. With proper training, a dog will
learn to associate this signal with a command. Like all SportDOG products, this model features adjustable static
stimulation levels so you can tailor the stimulation level to your dog’s temperament, eliminating the risk of over-
correction.
IMPORTANT: WHEN TRAINING, THE C TRAIN SYSTEM HAS A RANGE OF UP TO 500 YARDS.
DEPENDING ON THE WAY YOU HOLD THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER, THE MAXIMUM RANGE MAY VARY. FOR
CONSISTENT RESULTS AT LONGER RANGES, HOLD THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER IN A VERTICAL POSITION
AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND ABOVE YOUR HEAD. TERRAIN, WEATHER, VEGETATION,TRANSMISSION FROM
OTHER RADIO DEVICES, AND OTHER FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE MAXIMUM RANGE.
WARNING
Do not use this product if your dog is aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can
cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please
consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
KEY DEFINITIONS
FENCE TRANSMITTER: The power source that transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
BOUNDARY AREA: The area inside the Warning Zone where your dog can roam freely.
WARNING ZONE: The perimeter of the Boundary Area where your dog’s Collar Receiver begins to beep, warning him not to go into the
Stimulation Zone.
STIMULATION ZONE: The zone beyond the Warning Zone where your dog’s Collar Receiver will deliver a stimulation, signaling him to
return to the Boundary Area.
BOUNDARY WIDTH: The area covered by the Warning Zone and the Stimulation Zone.
STIMULATION MODE SWITCH: Used to select the type of stimulation delivered by the Collar Receiver.
RANGE SWITCH: The switch to adjust the Boundary Area according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
POWER JACK: The jack where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a standard
electrical outlet.
RANGE ADJUSTER: The knob that adjusts
the width of the Warning and Stimulation
Zones.
Note: Adjusting the knob does not change
the level of static stimulation on the Collar
Receiver.
LOOP INDICATOR LIGHT: The light that
indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a
complete loop, enabling the signal to be
transmitted.
GROUND TERMINAL: The terminal where
the ground wire connects to the Fence
Transmitter.
BOUNDARY WIRE TERMINALS: The
terminals where the Boundary Wires
connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to
complete a continuous loop.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
KEY DEFINITIONS
REMOTE TRANSMITTER
REMOTE TRANSMITTER: Transmits the radio signal to the Collar Receiver. It
is DryTek
™
- waterproof and submersible to 25 feet.
INTENSITY DIAL: Provides multiple levels of static stimulation so you can
match the correction to your dog’s temperament.
TRANSMITTER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates that a button is pressed and
also serves as a low-battery indicator.
UPPER BUTTON: This button is factory set to deliver continuous static
stimulation.
LOWER BUTTON: This button is factory set to deliver momentary static
stimulation.
SIDE BUTTON: This button is factory set to deliver a tone without static
stimulation.
CHARGING JACK: For connecting the charger. Although the Remote
Transmitter is waterproof without it, keep the cover in place when not
charging to keep debris out of the opening.
MODE BUTTON: This button gives you the ability to change the mode of your
Remote Transmitter (see page 14).

COLLAR RECEIVER: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire and
Remote Transmitter. The Collar Receiver is waterproof and submersible to 10
feet.
COLLAR RECEIVER POWER BUTTON: Turns the Collar Receiver on/off.
OLED DISPLAY: Displays the current mode of operation based on the icon
indicated (Containment: House, Training: Dog, C Train
™
: House &
Dog). Displays the current level of static stimulation (1-7) and tone/vibe
when in Containment and C Train modes. Displays the condition of
the battery (Full: 3 bars, Medium: 2 bars, Low: 1 bar, and Empty: 0 bars).
RECEIVER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates when the Collar Receiver has been
turned on or off, serves as a low-battery indicator, and indicates when a
continuous or momentary static stimulation button is pressed.
PLUS/MINUS BUTTONS: Adjust the operating mode and levels of static stimulation.
CONTACT POINTS: Deliver the static stimulation.
CHARGING CRADLE AND CHARGING CONTACTS: The Charging Cradle charges the Collar Receiver when attached to the Charging
Contacts.
THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING 4 TYPES OF STIMULATION:
CONTINUOUS: You control both when and how long static stimulation is delivered, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. After 10 seconds,
the static stimulation will “time out” and the Transmitter button needs to be released and then pressed again before additional static
stimulation can be delivered.
MOMENTARY (NICK): Static stimulation is delivered for 1/10 of a second, regardless of how long the button is pressed.
TONE: The Collar Receiver will make a beeping noise when a tone button is pressed.
VIBRATION: The Collar Receiver will vibrate when a vibration button is pressed, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.
