NOTE: This radio equipment is designed to help you track your dogs after a hunt.
As you know, any kind of electrical equipment, especially a battery-powered
device, may stop working. Theft, accidents, and Acts of God also occur. Wildlife
Materials cannot assume responsibility for dogs that are lost or injured while
being monitored.
Instructions for Operation:
–
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
BEFORE Hunting, tighten the transmitter’s antenna to avoid loss. Also tighten screws that hold
collar to transmitter.
A. To start the transmitter, remove magnet from recess at front of the transmitter. Dial the frequency
number or channel on which your collar is programmed. A beeping signal will be heard on your
receiver.
B. One recharge unit has been sent with each rechargeable transmitter collar. Also included are two
red plastic stoppers, placed in the two banana recharge jacks on the inner side of the collar.
These two red stoppers will prevent dirt from clogging the recharge jacks when a dog is hunting.
Remove the red plugs when you are recharging the collar.
C. At time of shipment, rechargeable transmitters
have been fully charged
. If the batteries require
charging, WMI staff will enclose an instruction note with the collar. If the transmitter battery is
completely down, giving little or no signal, charge for a full 20 to 24 hours without interruption.
NEVER CHARGE MORE THAN 24 HOURS!
DO NOT REMOVE MAGNET WHEN CHARGING.
D.
After a
full charge
, expected battery life for the Standard #3700 Rechargeable Transmitter is 11
to 13 days; the Ultra-Light #3310 Rechargeable Transmitter operates for 8 to 10 days.
E. It is unwise to allow the collar battery to run completely down. For instance, if a dog with 6 hours
left on his rechargeable transmitter gets lost, the dog may be gone a much longer period of time,
rendering electronic monitoring ineffective.
F.
Only
when you do not know how much time is left on your rechargeable transmitter collar, you
can let the transmitter run completely down, then give a full charge of 20-24 hours.
G. Once the transmitter has received its initial full charge, the transmitter battery can be kept up by
charging
2 hours for each 24 hours of operation
(recharge ratio is 1:12).
H. To charge a transmitter,
remove the two red stoppers
that have been placed in the colored
jacks at the front of transmitter.
Insert the recharge unit's plugs
into the two colored jacks; the
transmitter's
red jack receives the recharge unit's red plug and the transmitter's black jack
receives the recharge unit's black plug.
Then start the power supply
by inserting the
charger's prongs into a wall socket.
A red light will show
on the front of the transmitter between
the two plugs to
indicate that the transmitter is taking a charge.
There is no way to signal that
the charging process has been completed, other than keeping track of the time. Be sure you
replace the two red stoppers
in the plugs at the front before a dog hunts.
