Troubleshooting
Problem No. 1: If the collar receiver appears not to be working, try the following:
Test the collar receiver. If red LED light flashes, please charge the receiver.
If no Battery Status Bars shown on the transmitter, please charge the transmitter.
Check the correct channel on the transmitter is used for the collar receiver.
Re-perform the matching-up procedure (Step 4) between the collar receiver and transmitter handset and try to match up the collar receiver into a different channel.
Adjust the collar strap to fit.
Check the prongs are tightened.
Ensure the contact points are in direct contact with your dog’s skin.
If necessary, trim the dog’s hair or use longer probes to ensure proper skin contact. Never shave the dog’s neck.
Use a stronger stimulation level. Please note that in very cold weather, you may need to use a slightly higher setting to achieve the same level of intensity.
Problem No. 2: The collar receiver cannot be matched up with the transmitter.
Please make sure the collar receiver is switched on. When the collar receiver is in OFF mode, a red LED light will come up when the power button is pressed and held down, the collar receiver will not do the matching up successfully when it is OFF.
Please make sure the power button on the collar receiver is held down firmly during the whole course of matching-up, so that the green indicator light on the collar receiver will come up and stay on, and later on start flashing on and off (not just flickering) once it has received the command signal sent from the transmitter handset.
Problem No. 3: The system doesn’t have range, or the range has been significantly reduced.
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.
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.
