= Beep, Vibration, and Static Stimulation  

= Static Stimulation Only

IMPORTANT: The Stimulation Mode Switch (1A) can alter the response of the Collar Receiver. When 

this Stimulation Mode Switch is set to  “   ’’  or   “   + 

’’, the Collar Receiver will respond 

according to the function above. However, if the Stimulation Mode Switch is set to  “

 ’’, this 

setting will override the tone/vibe   function. In this case, no stimulation will be delivered, and 

the Collar Receiver will NOT beep or vibrate; it will only make the ticking sound that normally 

indicates stimulation. We recommend to leave the Stimulation Mode Switch on the  “

’’  or   

“  + 

’’ settings.

ANTI-LINGER PREVENTION

The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your dog from staying in the warning zone for long periods of time and draining the Collar 

Receiver battery. Your dog will hear a warning beep when he reaches the Warning Zone. If your dog doesn’t return to the Boundary Area 

after 2 seconds, he will receive a continuous static stimulation until he returns to the Boundary Area.

RUN THROUGH PREVENTION

This system includes a unique Run Through Prevention feature so that your dog cannot “run through” the Boundary Area without 

receiving an increased level of static stimulation. The Collar Receiver automatically increases the static stimulation when your dog 

continues more than 20% of the way through the dog fencing boundary width. For example, if the signal is detected 10 ft. from the wire 

and your dog enters the static stimulation zone, this feature is activated when he is approximately 8 ft. from the boundary wire. Your 

dog will then receive a static stimulation that is at an increased level corresponding to the static stimulation level setting on the Collar 

Receiver. The Run Through Prevention sound is an intermittent beep.

OVERCORRECTION PROTECTION

In the unlikely event that your dog “freezes” in the static stimulation zone, this feature limits the static stimulation duration to a 

maximum of 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the static stimulation will stop and the green indicator light will stay on for 10 seconds. The 

Collar Receiver remains locked out until your dog leaves the static stimulation zone.

STEP :: 01

PREPARE THE COLLAR RECEIVER

CHARGE THE COLLAR RECEIVER

The C Train

 Collar Receiver contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When the unit indicates the battery is low (battery 

icon on OLED display shows 1 bar or less and Battery Indicator Light flashes red) it’s time to recharge the unit. Average battery life is 168 

hours in 

Training and C Train modes, and 6 months in Containment mode.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY:

1.  Align the Charging Cradle with the Charging Contacts as shown in image.

2.  Push down on the Charging Cradle until it snaps into place.

3.  Plug the charger into a standard 120/240-volt AC wall outlet. The unit will beep to 

indicate it’s connected to the charger. While charging, a battery icon will show on 

the OLED display and the Battery Indicator Light will be solid red.

4.  During charging, keep the Collar Receiver in an open, well-ventilated area.

5.  When charging is complete the Indicator Light will turn solid green.  The OLED 

screen will show 3 full bars on the battery icon for 15 seconds, after which the OLED 

screen will go blank. Using Li-ion technology, the Collar Receiver only requires a 2 

hour charge. It’s not harmful to let the unit charge for more than 2 hours. 

6.  Remove the Charging Cradle from the Collar Receiver.

7.  Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.

TO TURN THE COLLAR RECEIVER ON/OFF

Press and release the power button (located between the Contact Points) for about one second - the unit will power on immediately, as 

well as beep 1-3 times, depending on the static stimulation range setting (2 is the default setting). To turn the unit off, press and hold the 

power button for 3 seconds. A long beep will sound, then the unit will turn off.  

NOTE: If the user does not press any button, the display will go blank after 15 seconds. To wake up the display, press and release the 

power button.

CHANGING THE MODES

The C Train

 system has 3 modes of operation. These 3 modes are indicated by icons shown on the OLED display. The following 

table summarizes the modes and their corresponding icons:

When the display is active (on), press and release the power button. The mode icon 

will flash, indicating that you can change modes. Press the plus and minus buttons 

until the desired mode is selected. 

TO SET THE CORRECTION LEVEL
CHANGING THE STIMULATION (CONTAINMENT)

After changing modes, pressing and releasing the power button again while 

the mode is flashing will allow you to change the static stimulation levels for 

Containment, if you are in 

Containment or C Train modes. Pressing the 

plus or minus buttons will cycle through the static stimulation levels (1-7).  The 

music note   indicates tone/vibe (no static stimulation).  Begin training with static 

stimulation Level 1 and only increase if your dog does not respond to the static stimulation.  

CHANGING THE STIMULATION (TRAINING)

Static stimulation level, tone, and vibration are controlled by the Remote Transmitter when the unit is in

 Training and C Train 

modes (see STEPS 4 -5).
