IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution
This product is intended to be used on DOGS ONLY.
E-Collar Technologies, Inc. is not responsible for any misuse of this product including damages from dog bites and lost items. Seek an evaluation by professional trainer  before use on aggressive dogs. It is not uncommon for aggressive dogs to associate the stimulation with the handler and take action against the handler. Sometimes dogs put  under e-collar pressure during a fight can exhibit redirected aggression and become more aggressive.
The use of high levels of stimulation should only be used as a last resort and in life-threatening situations.
To prevent giving stimulation to your dog by accident, keep the stimulation level below 5 while not in use.
The range of the PG 300/302 may vary according to terrain, weather conditions, foliage, and power lines as well as radio transmissions from other devices.

DEVICE OPERATION

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Indicator Light is blinking “Green” under normal operation. solid “Red” when stimulation is applied. blinking “Red” when recharging is required.
Do not allow the batteries to get hot o

The indicator light will turn solid red during charge cycles and turn green if it is fully charged. (approximately 2 hours)
Please add this about the batteries:
Your e-collar is outfitted with Li Polymer batteries which requires specific care to assure longevity. It is best not to let the battery be fully discharged and if it does, recharge  immediately or irreversible damage may occur. Keep the units away from extreme heat and cold temperatures.

TURNING YOUR E-COLLAR ON/OFF

• To turn the Collar Receiver On or Off :
  Place the small red dot on the Transmitter to the small red dot on the Collar Receiver.

• To turn the Transmitter On or Off:
  Press the “L” button for more than 1 second.
  If the Transmitter is turned on, a short press of the “L” button will activate the tracking light of the collar receiver. Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn Transmitter off.

• Holding the Transmitter
  To obtain the maximum range hold the transmitter like the torch on the Statue of Liberty. Keep the antenna away from your body or fingers at all times, touching the antenna will greatly reduce the range.

CORRECTLY FITTING COLLAR

You should be able to fit a couple of fingers between the collar strap and your dog’s skin. Too tight poses discomfort. Too loose will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably.

THE LCD DISPLAY DESCRIPTION

Blinking “1D” indicates the vibration level ready for adjustment.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Momentary Vibration
Sends a single pulse of vibration at the set level when you press stimulation button.
Continuous Vibration
Sends vibration for as long as the button is pressed, timing out after 10 seconds (this is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental over- stimulation of your dog). The  stimulation can be increased or decreased while the button is being pressed.
Tapping Sensation
Vibration specifically designed to distract your dog, great for deaf dogs.
Tone
Flat sound up to 30 second.

Stimulation Button S (Black)
– Sends momentary or continuous vibration to the collar receiver based on the state of Momentary/Continuous Mode.
Stimulation Button S (Red)
– Sends momentary or continuous boosted vibration.
– If vibration level is 10, boosted vibration sends [10 + boost level ] – The default value of the boosted level is 5, it can be adjusted to any value between 1 and 60. Smaller and more sensitive breeds should use levels 1 through 20, larger and/or  more stubborn breeds may need a higher boost.

Boosting vibration in Combo Mode
Momentary Boosting is accomplished by first sending a momentary vibration pulse “S (Black)” to the dog and then pressing “S (Red)” button without releasing “S (Black)”  button. (PLEASE PRACTICE) Continuous Boosting is accomplished by first administering continuous vibration “S (Red)” to the dog and then pressing the “S (Black)” button without releasing the “S (Red)” button.
Tapping Vibration / Tone “T”
Sends Tapping Sensation or Tone to the collar receiver.
(Default setting is tapping sensation).
To toggle between tapping sensation and tone press “L” and “T” buttons simultaneously when the intensity level is “O”.
– Single beep and “A” icon indicates tone.
– Double beeps and “T” icon indicates Tapping Sensation (Vibration).
Tapping Sensation Tone

Light Button “L” (ON/OFF Center Button on Back)
Pressing “L” button will change the night tracking light mode.
OFF - > Flashing -> Solid -> OFF
Great for locating your dog after dark. (PLEASE PRACTICE)

HOW TO FIND THE PROPER VIBRATION LEVEL

Rotating clockwise increases the stimulation level, and rotating counter- clockwise lowers the stimulation level.
It is highly recommended that the user practices changing levels and modes before putting the collar receiver on a dog.
Setting the correct vibration level for your dog is very important. To set your “conditioning” vibration level, correctly put the collar receiver on your dog (see page 9 for  instructions). Let the dog get used to the collar receiver for a couple of hours.
While watching your dog, turn the level to “O” and press the
continuous stimulation button. Slowly turn the stimulation up at a rate of approximately 2-3 levels per second. When your dog first perceives the stimulation , usually between 5 and 20, release the button. This is your “conditioning” vibration level. You may need to increase the “conditioning” level a few levels to get your dog to  respond at first, some dogs are more stubborn and need more stimulation. The boosted level is typically 5 to 20 levels higher than the “conditioning” level.

LOCK/UNLOCK THE VIBRATION LEVEL

How to Lock/Unlock the Vibration Level
Set the desired vibration level and then press on the top of the stimulation dial until you see “1D” light up on the top portion of the LCD display. Flashing “1D” indicates  unlocked vibration and Solid “1D” indicates locked vibration level.
If the vibration level does not change when you rotate the stimulation knob, you have successfully locked the vibration level.
To unlock the vibration level simply press the stimulation knob again and it will unlock the vibration level.

HOW TO SET THE BOOST

Boosted vibration adds the set boost level to the vibration level, great for those situations when your dog does not respond to the “conditioning” level. Determining the  Boosted vibration level is a little more difficult than vibration level setting due to the wide differences in temperaments and vibration tolerance among the many breeds of dogs. On average, it is normally 5 to 20 levels higher than the “conditioning” level. It is important to have it set high enough to get the desired response from your dog.

1. Change the mode to Momentary Mode. (Press M/C button until “M’” is displayed)
2. Change the intensity level to “O”.
3. Press S(Black) button for more than 5 seconds.
4. The intensity level will change from “0” to a flashing “1”.
5. Rotate the dial to the desired boost level (1 to 60).
6. Press S(Black) button again to save and exit the boost level changing mode.

LOST TRANSMITTER MODE

Your PG 300/302 E-Collar transmitter allows the user to activate a 6 hour timer. After 6 hours, the transmitter will begin to beep providing the ability to locate the  transmitter. The LCD displays “AL” during beeping. Lost transmitter mode is activated by simultaneously pressing the Light (L) button and the stimulation button (Black “S”)  when the intensity level is set to zero. Three short beeps will sound confirming the activation of the locator timer.
Lost transmitter mode is deactivated by simultaneously pressing the Light (L) button and the red stimulation button (Red “S”) when the intensity level is set to zero. Two  short beeps will sound confirming the deactivation of the locator timer.
Lost transmitter mode will be cancelled whenever the transmitter is turned off.
Make sure to reactivate lost transmitter mode when you turn off transmitter.

REPLACE/ADD COLLAR

Occasionally, it is necessary to pair/sync a transmitter to a collar receiver, the following procedure will accomplish this:

1. Turn on the Transmitter
2. Turn intensity dial to “O”
3. Make sure the collar receiver is turned off.
4. Put the Transmitter’s Red Dot against the Collar Receiver’s Red Dot for more than 5 seconds, green light on Receiver will flash rapidly
5. Immediately after, press and hold Black “S” Button followed by the Red “S” Button until you hear confirmation sound from Collar Receiver.

HOW TO CHANGE THE TRANSMITTER TO A 2 DOG TRANSMITTER
The button functions will change. The changes are described on pages 18 through 22. You can change the transmitter back to the 1Dog system (PG 300) at any time.

1. Turn on the Transmitter.
2. Press the Red “S” followed by the Black “S” followed by the “T” Button simultaneously for more than 2 seconds until you hear the confirmation beeps.
3. Repeat step 2 to return back to a 1 dog system.

ADD/REPLACE COLLAR FOR SECOND DOG

1. Turn on the Transmitter
2. Turn intensity dial to “0”
3.  Make sure Receiver is turned off.
4. Put the Transmitter’s Red Dot against the Collar Receivers Red Dot for more than 5 seconds, green light on Receiver will flash rapidly.
5. Immediately after, press and hold Red “S” Button followed by the Black “S” Button until you hear confirmation sound from Collar Receiver.

TRAINING TIP

IMPORTANT TRAINING TIPS
E-Collars can be used to reinforce commands your dog already knows or as a learning sensation when paired with leash pressure. It is not a replacement for basic leash  obedience training, but a tool to allow you to better communicate with your dog. For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to get the attention of your dog.
A calm and consistent approach to training will always produce better long term results. It is highly recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer for  evaluation before e-collar use. There are many different e-collar training techniques recommended by a variety of professional trainers. We believe you, the owner of the dog, can best determine the most successful technique for your dog. We recommend first time users to emerge themselves in learning about the proper techniques or seek a professional e-collar trainer.
The technique used in the initial introduction of the e-collar is very important to the success of e-collar training. Search E-Collar Technologies on YouTube and subscribe to  our channel, new training videos are posted weekly. Also “Like” and subscribe to our Facebook page to receive more training advice and connect with other e-collar users.
Good Luck with your training from your friends at E-Collar Technologies
