CHANGING STATIC STIMULATION RANGES
Your SportDOG® Brand Collar Receiver comes with 2-3 static stimulation ranges depending on the model. In the
Remote Transmitter’s default mode (see page 10) there are 21 static stimulation levels within each range, with 1
being the lowest and 21 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 or medium.
To change the range of static stimulation, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
2. Then turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.
3. After the Indicator Light turns off and within 5 seconds, press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
4. The Collar Receiver will then beep and the Indicator Light will flash orange as indicated by the chart below. Continue
to hold the button until the number of beeps/orange flashes equals the desired stimulation range shown.
5. Release the button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
6. Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the static stimulation range selected in Step 4.

GENERAL TRAINING TIPS
BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT
You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying
to reinforce the command with a remote trainer. We recommend that you read the enclosed Basic Training Manual
before training with this remote trainer. Your training will be easier and proceed faster if you follow the guidelines
in the Basic Training Manual and this Operating Guide. In addition, always keep the following training tips in mind:
• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the training,
your dog may become confused.
• Keep your training sessions positive, short, and frequent. If you or your dog become frustrated or confused, it’s
best to take a break.
• Be consistent. Give your dog a tone, vibration, or static stimulation with each misbehavior.
• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.
• Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise him and use
your remote trainer for applying tone, vibration, or static stimulation.
• If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a training session.
This will dramatically increase your chances of success.
• If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone, vibration, or static stimulation (especially the first couple of times),
do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior (i.e. a known command,
such as “Sit”).
• Never use your remote trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If your dog exhibits such
behavior, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many factors – it may be a learned
behavior or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor contributing to aggression in dogs is social
dominance. Every dog is different.
At this point, your remote trainer is ready to use. The Transmitter is factory set to mode 5, but you may wish to
change the mode to fit your situation. See STEP 5 for an explanation of mode options.
