Charger Light Function
When the collar is charging at full current, the charger light will be
red. When the charger switches to trickle charge, the charger light
will be green. The collar is now fully charged but may be left on the
charger. If the charger light is off, power is interrupted or there is no
collar on the charger.
Cradle Charging Contacts
Jack for AC Power Supply (“Wall Cube”)
Use only the wall cube supplied by Tri-Tronics
with the charging cradle.
Important: If the charger light blinks red slowly when the
receiver is in the cradle, please consult the troubleshooting
section of this manual.
The cradle comes with two screws and may be mounted
on a wall.
Battery Charger
(Two-Hour Recharge)
Only the Sport
®
receiver (the part worn by the dog) needs recharging.
The Sport
®
transmitter (the hand-held controller) comes with one
disposable 9-volt battery.
The new cradle charging system keeps your receiver batteries
in better condition than any previous charging system we’ve used.
The charger charges rapidly – only two hours are needed.
NiMH batteries do not have a “memory” so you can recharge at
any time, even if the batteries have not run down. Also, you can
leave the unit (or battery pack only) on charge in the cradle at
all times when it is not in use, without damage to the batteries.
To recharge, plug the supplied wall cube into household AC power
and plug the wall cube cord into the cradle. Insert the
receiver into the cradle so that the receiver charging
contacts line up with the cradle charging contacts.
There will be a positive “snap” feel when the
receiver locks into the cradle correctly.
Do not charge batteries in especially hot areas
such as inside a vehicle that is parked
in the sun.
Keep the vents on both sides of the
charger free of dirt and debris.
Do not block the vents.
Battery care tips:
• Charge batteries at room temperature. Allow cold
batteries to reach room temperature before charging.
• If the receiver charging contacts are very dirty, wash
the collar with clean water before charging
so that good contact with the charger can be made.
• Use only the wall cube we supply.
• If the unit is in storage, recharge the receiver every
four months, and recharge prior to first use.
