WHAT’S IN THE BOX

HOW IT WORKS

In addition to being a fully functional training e-collar, this system also monitors your dog’s health.

The Collar’s built-in sensor will detect your dog’s vitals and the Handheld will alert you when there has been a serious change.

This will allow you to know how your dog is doing, even if he is not within eyesight, and quickly address any potentially dangerous health situations.

STEP 1: CHARGE THE HANDHELD & COLLAR

1. Connect the magnetic charger to the back of the Handheld by aligning the two and letting it snap into place. The Handheld takes 2 hours to fully charge.

2. Snap the charging clip on the Collar by aligning the brass contacts on the clip to the connection points on the Collar and matching up the SportDOG® logos. The Collar takes 4 hours to charge.

3. Connect each of the USB ends on the charging cables to the wall adapter and plug into a standard wall outlet. The Collar and Handheld Indicator Lights will be solid green while charging and flash green when fully charged.

Approximate battery life between charges is 16 hours for both the Collar and Handheld, depending on frequency of use. Power off the Collar and Handheld between uses to maximize battery life.

HANDHELD: To power the Handheld ON or OFF, press and hold the power button (found on top) until it beeps.

COLLAR: To power the Collar ON, press and release the power button (between the probes). The Collar will beep, and the Indicator Light will flash red or green depending on battery status. The health sensor lights will glow steady green.

To power OFF, press and hold the button until the Collar beeps and light is red.

STEP 2: GET TO KNOW THE HANDHELD & COLLAR

*Your Handheld is programmed to Mode 1 (toggle up). If you wish to change the button settings, see full online manual.

Proper fit and placement of the Collar is imperative for effective training and use.

1. Your dog should be standing comfortably while fitting the collar.

2. Position the collar as high as possible on your dog’s neck and slightly to either side, not directly centered. Buckle the collar so that it fits snuggly.

3. You should only be able to fit one finger between the strap and your dog’s neck. This will help ensure the health sensor and the contact points are both touching your dog’s skin. If your dog has a long or thick coat, trim the hair around the contact points to ensure contact with the skin.

Dogs tend to tense up while fitting the collar for the first time. Check the fit again after your dog becomes more comfortable wearing it and adjust as necessary.

NOTE: If using an additional Collar (such as GPS), it should go farther down on the dog’s neck.

STEP 4: LET THE COLLAR GET TO KNOW YOUR DOG

Once the collar is fit on your dog and powered on, it needs up to 5 MINUTES to calibrate to your dog and start tracking vitals allowing your hunt/training session to start with a valid heart rate. Do not remove the collar or turn it off during this time.

Every time you put the collar on your dog, it is important to make sure you wait 5 minutes for the collar to calibrate before use. Also, keep the health monitor sensors are clean by using soap, warm water, and a microfiber cloth.

Do not leave the collar on your dog longer than 12 hours. Remove the collar from your dog while traveling or while in his kennel.

During this 5 minutes, there should be minimal motion of your dog. The system will do X when ready to be used and collecting health information.

STEP 5: FIND YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL

For effective training, it is important to find the best level of static stimulation for your dog.

RECOGNITION LEVEL: The lowest level of static stimulation at which your dog acknowledges feeling the stimulation through a reaction. This reaction can be flicking his ears, looking around in curiosity, or standing up from a sitting or lying position.

Important: Your dog should not vocalize or panic when receiving static stimulation.

Always start at the lowest level and slowly increase as needed. Every dog is different, and their recognition level is not correlated to size or breed. Therefore, it is important to watch closely for any slight changes in behavior that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.

1. Starting with the collar powered on and properly fitted on your dog, set the Handheld dial to Level 1. Power your Handheld on by pressing the button as shown.

2. While watching your dog, press the Upper Button for 1 to 2 seconds. Look for any indication that your dog feels the static stimulation.

3. If your dog shows no reaction, increase the Intensity Dial to Level 2 and repeat this process until you find your dog’s Recognition Level. This is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.

4. If you have progressed to the highest level on the dial (7) while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to make sure the fit of the Collar is snug against your dog’s neck. Then go back to Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, you may need to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points or contact Customer Care.

HEALTH SENSOR ALERTS

If the Collar detects a significant, potentially dangerous change in your dog’s vitals, your Handheld will alert you by flashing a light at the base of the antenna as well as emitting a tone and vibration.

To silence the alert, quickly press and release the power button on the Handheld. The tone and vibration will stop, but the Alert LED will continue to flash until your dog’s vitals return to normal. If you accidentally turn off the Handheld, simply turn back on. You will not need to wait the 5-minute initializing period.

We recommend if your Handheld alerts you, you go to your dog to assist them (e.g. put eyes on your dog and observe them, take a break, give your dog water). You may also consider loosing the collar and then fitting properly when vitals return to normal.

CHANGING THE ALERT THRESHHOLD

If you find the Handheld is alerting you frequently when your dog’s condition seems normal, you can adjust the sensitivity of the alert by following the steps below:

The alert threshold is set to 2. You can lower to 1 or increase to 3 depending if the sensitivity is too high or low.

1. Begin with the toggle switch down and the intensity dial set to V/T

2. Press the mode button on the back of the Handheld with the tip of a pen. The Indicator Light will be solid green.

3. Turn the Intensity Dial to your desired threshold (1, 2, or 3).

4. Press the left side button on your Handheld to set.
