checking/replacing baTTery
The battery condition is checked in 3
distinct occasions:
- when switching On the collar:
5 beep indicator light flashes in
red 5 times (instead of 1 beep sound + 1
flash) = weak battery
- when the collar is On:
indicator light flashes in red 5 times every 5
seconds (instead of 1 time every 5 seconds)
= weak battery
- when switching Off the collar:
5 beep indicator light flashes in
red 5 times (instead of 3 beep
permanent red) then the collar goes out =
weak battery
Prepare to replace the battery.
When the battery is too weak, the product
switches to safety mode and the system
locks up.
Due to greater use during your dog’s
training, the first battery may not last as
long as replacement batteries.
Replace the old battery as follows:
- Unscrew the battery cover using a coin.
- Remove the old battery.
- Insert the new battery (Lithium 3-V CR2)
paying attention to follow polarity
indicated under the collar
(See. Diagram 2).
- Retighten the battery cover using a
coin. A beep sound is emitted indicating
the correct installation of the battery. If
you do not hear any beep sound when
retightening the battery cover, remove
the battery immediately from its housing.
Check the polarity before trying again.

changing The conTacT
poinTs
Two different series of contact points
are supplied. The length of the contact
points must be sufficient to have proper
contact with the dog’s skin, enabling the
device to operate correctly (proper barking
detection and correct transmission of the
stimulations).
If you have a long-haired dog and the short
contact points fitted to the collar in the factory
are inadequate, remove and replace them
with the long ones supplied with the kit.
carefully tighten them manually (do not
use a tool).
checking The Device
operaTes properly
You can check that your collar is functioning
properly at any time using the following
procedure:
- Before doing so, make sure the collar is
turned Off (indicator light off).
- fix each wire of the neon test lamp
under each contact point (unscrewing
them lightly and retightening them so
as to pinch the test lamp wires under the
contact points).
- Turn On the collar with the magnetic key
(warning: after activating the collar, it
remains in stand-by for 1 minute).
- make a streaked object (ex. knife with
teeth and isolated sleeve) slide on the bark
detection contact point (See Diagram 1).
modify the barking detection sensitivity if
it’s necessary.
- The collar should emit beep sounds and
the test lamp should light (on mode Nr 1,
the test lamp will not light –
mode # 1 is
beep sounds only
).
- Before disconnecting the test lamp, make
sure the collar is turned Off (indicator
light off).
collar aDjusTmenT
Collar adjustment is very important. This will
determine the proper barking detection and
the correct transmission of the stimulations.
The strap should be adjusted so that the
contact points come right into contact with
the dog’s skin:
- If the strap is too loose, the collar will not
operate properly. moreover, the collar is
likely to move and repeated friction can
irritate the skin of your dog.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have
breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can
insert two fingers between the strap and
your dog’s neck.
If necessary, replace the short contact points
with the long ones supplied with the kit
(See § Changing the contact points).
Do not leave the collar more than 8
hours per day on your dog. check your
dog’s neck regularly. If irritations appear,
remove the collar until all signs of skin
irritations have disappeared.
