RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

 

This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit, or charge with 

an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.

 

Risk  of  explosion  if  battery  is  replaced  by  an  incorrect  type.  Dispose  of  used  batteries  according  to  the  instructions  

(see page 20).

 

Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.

• Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (100° F+ / 38° C+).

• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before charging, 

and cannot be over charged.

• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use. 

 When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done 

once every 3 to 4 months.

• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose 

capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time 

drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a new battery.

• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order a new pack by 

calling our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144. Please do not open the Collar Receiver or Remote Transmitter 

until you have received the replacement.

CHARGE THE COLLAR RECEIVER

1.  Lift the rubber cover protecting the Charging Jack.

2.  Connect one of the charger connectors to the Charging Jack.

3.  Plug the charger into a standard 120/240-volt AC wall outlet.

4.  Charge the Collar Receiver for 2 hours for the first charge and every  

  charge thereafter. 

  

Using Li-Ion technology, the Collar Receiver only requires a 2 hour charge. It is not 

 harmful to let the unit charge for more than 2 hours.

TO TURN THE COLLAR RECEIVER ON

 

Press and release the On/Off Button. The Collar

Receiver Indicator Light will come on and the Collar 

Receiver will beep 1 - 2 times on a SD-425, or 2-3

times on a SD-425S depending on what stimulation 

range is chosen. The default is 2 (medium) on a 

SD-425 and 3 (high) on a SD-425S.

TO TURN THE COLLAR RECEIVER OFF

 

Press and release the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator Light comes on solid (red) and the

Collar Receiver beeps continuously for 2 seconds.

To extend the life between charging cycles, turn the Collar Receiver off when it is not in use.

NOTE: Approximate battery life between charges is 50 to 70 hours, depending on frequency of use.
