Batteries
• The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive
and do not require depletion before charging.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge (24
hours) before the fi rst use.
• Remember - Always keep batteries away from fl ame.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full
charge (12 hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.
• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. After initial charge, never leave the
battery plugged in for more than 12 hours.
• If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience
a decrease in battery life the fi rst few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to
previous capacity levels.
• 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.
