The transmitter intensity dial is set on “N” or “T.”
Select a numbered position.
The batteries in either the collar or the transmitter are dead.
Recharge or replace as needed.
Debris or contaminants are interfering with electrical stimulation.
Clean the collar and contact point area.
Problem #4: The collar light changes color to indicate low
charge very quickly.
The unit has been left on between training sessions.
Make sure
the collar is turned off after use.
You are training in very cold weather.
The low battery indicator
color change can occur prematurely in very cold weather.
Make sure the batteries are well charged.
Problem #5: The collar deactivates itself while training.
The batteries have run down.
The collar light may require 20 seconds
to register “low batteries” after you turn the unit on. Check the
collar after 20 seconds to see if the low battery indicator is on.
You normally can complete a training session after the low battery
indicator flashes, but not in very cold weather.
Make sure the batteries are well charged.
You are using the short range antenna.
The Mighty Micro Antenna
gives 2/3rds of normal range. Use the regular antenna for
maximum range.
Either you or the dog is shielded by a metal structure.
Metal fences,
chain link dog enclosures, screen doors, buildings, and other metal
structures can affect the radio signal. Operate the Remote Trainer
away from these structures.
The receiver is on backwards.
Position the collar so that the light faces
toward the dog’s nose.
You’re experiencing temporary radio interference.
Radio signals from
nearby CBs and walkie talkies can reduce range. Wait a short while
then try again, or move to another area.
Problem #3: The stimulation seems too high, not high enough,
or the dog does not seem to feel it at all.
The collar strap is not tight enough.
The collar should be snug.
Contact points must press against the dog’s skin to provide efficient,
consistent stimulation.
The intensity position is not correct.
The ideal intensity level depends
on the dog and the training situation. Try a different level. See the
training manual and DVD that came with your Remote Trainer. Also
note that in very cold weather, you may need to use a slightly higher
setting to achieve the same level of intensity. Remember that the
stimulation button must be released for the new setting to take effect.
The contact points are too short for the dog’s coat type.
Use the long contact points instead.
