Please charge the units on or before the low battery indication. It is best not to wait until the batteries are fully drained to avoid damage. To charge insert the micro USB into the transmitter and the charge plug into the collar receiver as pictured.
Store with 50% charge in cool dry place.

Low Battery Indication
Transmitter : One bar remaining on the LCD display indicates charging is needed.
Collar Receiver : Yellow light indicates low and red indicates very low battery life.

Correctly Fitting Collar

Proper fit and position of the Receiver is important for better training efficiency

Caution

To prevent the occurrence of skin irritations, the collar receiver should not be worn for more than 10-12 hours per day and should be rotated every few hours.
Dogs should never sleep with it on overnight or in their kennel.

The dogs skin needs to be conditioned to the contact points this is accomplished by starting out with 1 to 2 hours and slowly working up to the absolute maximum of 12 hours per day.

Should your dog experience skin irritations from over exposure to the contact points or allergic reaction to the nickel remove the collar receiver unit immediately and stop using your e-collar until the skin irritations are totally healed. Antibiotic ointment is suggested to aid in the healing process and prevent infections, a visit to your Veterinarian may be required should any open sores become infected.

The collar should be adjusted to allow the “contact points” to have direct contact with the skin. You should be able to fit a couple of fingers between the collar strap and your dog.
Too tight poses the risk of skin irritation and discomfort. Too loose and the contact points will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably and can cause skin irritation due to chafing. A nice snug fit is best.

Always seat the collar receiver by giving it a little wiggle to remove any hair that is between the contact points and the dog’s skin.
The optimal position for the collar receiver is on either side of the dog’s windpipe in the 2 to 5 or the 7 to 10 o’clock position; most dogs don’t like it on their windpipes.

Periodically switching positions during a full day of e-collar use is good practice and can help prevent irritations from occurring. Inspecting the area is very important to assure your dog is handling the pressure from the contact points.

How to Change the Contact Points

If the 1/2″ factory installed contact points do not make good contact due to long hair, you can easily change to 3/4″ contact points with the contact point tool. Follow diagrams step by step. Very long and thick coats require special contact points, available for purchase on ecollar.com

Mode

“I” Instant Stimulation Mode
The “I” mode is a patented feature which allows the stimulation to increase gradually as determined by the user. The gradual introduction of stimulation provides a more gentle sensation and removes the startling effect sometimes associated with applying a constant level of stimulation. The dog produces less cortisol and learns to avoid the higher levels by responding quickly to the command. The user has the flexibility of increasing the stimulation fast if the situation warrants a quick response from the dog.

To use Instant Stimulation Mode, it should be activated by computer program.

How Instant Stimulation “I” Mode Works

Change the mode of any S button to Continuous if not already
programmed to “C” mode : The stimulation dial must be turned to “O” to enter the “I” mode
To start the “I”, press the assigned Continuous button. The display will flash On to indicate it is on and ready to begin stimulation.
Turning the stimulation will now activate the stimulation at the setting of the dial and continue for 45 seconds
Returning to “O” will reset the 45 second safety timer.
If you do not rotate the dial for 45 seconds the “I” mode will turn off and the control button will need to be pushed again.
Pushing any of the other control buttons will turn off the “I” mode and therefore require the “I” mode control be pushed again to reactivate it.
Again, to exit the Instant Mode, press any control button or wait for 45 seconds.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About Contact Points :
Many dogs in our modern society have developed sensitivity to nickel which is a metal in all stainless steel products. Keep a watchful eye on your dogs skin where the contact points are touching his/her skin for redness or any signs of irritation. This should be done hourly at first and slowly transition to once every four hours after a month of daily wearing of the e-collar. At first notice of redness immediately switch to one of our hypo allergenic contact points, we offer both nickel free stainless steel and titanium contact points. Dogs with sensitive skin and certain breeds with known skin sensitivities like Pit Bull Terriers and Boxers should be switched early in the process as a precautionary move.
