D. Test Light
A test light is provided to verify that the stimulation circuitry is functioning
properly. Refer to "Testing the System" (Page 9) for proper use of the test light.
E. Range
The Sport Dog Trainer has dependable operational range of up to two
miles. However, conditions such as weather, terrain, and other environmental
factors can affect and thus reduce the range.
To get the maximum range out of your Sport Dog Trainer, hold the
transmitter in a vertical position above your head. Also, make sure that
the antenna is located on the right side of the dog and is as upright as
possible. A plastic clip or cable tie has been provided in the Sport Dog
Trainer kit to allow the antenna to be kept near the collar.
F. Battery Life
The Sport Dog Receiver requires one (1) replaceable 9 volt alkaline battery.
You can expect to have approximately 40 hours of continuous training or five
(5) eight-hour training sessions. This estimate will vary depending on type
and frequency of use.
The Sport Dog Transmitter requires two (2) replaceable 9 volt alkaline batteries.
You can expect to have approximately 7 days or 108 hours of continuous
training. This estimate will vary depending on type and frequency of use.
It is recommended that spare 9 volt alkaline batteries be on hand in the
event that a low battery condition is indicated.
