OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use of this product implies acceptance of any and all terms, conditions, and notices related to this product including, but not limited to, those found in this Quick Start Guide and the Insert containing important Regulatory Compliance  and Safety information.

STEP 1: CHARGE YOUR COLLAR

1. 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.

2. Connect the USB end on the charging cable to the wall adapter and plug into a standard wall outlet. The Collar Indicator Light will be solid green while charging and flash green when fully charged.
   

To power the Collar ON, press and release the power button. The Collar will beep and the Indicator Light will flash blue then green or red depending on the battery status. After several seconds, 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: FIT THE COLLAR ON YOUR DOG

PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR IS IMPERATIVE FOR EFFECTIVE TRAINING AND USE. THE HEALTH SENSORS AND CONTACT POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.

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.

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 be located beneath this training collar.

STEP 3: HOW TO CHANGE THE HANDHELD MODE

Your FieldSentinel™ Handheld has multiple 2-Dog operational modes to allow you to select the best match for your type or style of training.
Should you choose to update your FieldSentinel Handheld mode to something other than Mode 1 in the Toggle Switch UP position, refer to the mode chart on the following page and use the below steps. Otherwise, move to STEP 4 to match both Collars to your system.

TO CHANGE THE MODE

1. Adjust both the Intensity Dial and Toggle Switch to match your desired mode from the chart on page 6.
2. Turn the Remote Transmitter over and remove the belt clip (if attached).
3. Using a pen or the tine on the buckle of your collar strap, press and release the Mode Button. When the Mode Button is pressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid in color.
   When it is released, it will flash a number of times that corresponds to the mode selected.

For example, if mode 6:a is desired, switch the toggle to the a position and adjust the Intensity Dial to Level 6. Once the Mode Button has been depressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid, and once the Mode Button is released, the Handheld Indicator Light will flash 6 times.

STEP 4: PROGRAM THE SYSTEM FOR 2-DOG OPERATION

A SportDOG® Add-A-Dog® Collar (FS-AD) must be purchased to train an additional dog with your FieldSentinel™ system.
TWO-DOG OPERATION
SportDOG Collars can be set to respond to either the a or b toggle position on the Remote Transmitter. Once you have a multi-dog mode selected, make sure the Toggle Switch is in the a position to program the first collar using these steps:

1. Turn off the Collar Receiver.

2. Press and hold the On/Off Button on the Collar. The Indicator Light will come on, then turn off in 4-5 seconds. If the On/Off Button is released too early, the Indicator Light will begin its normal flashing.
   If this occurs, start over from beginning.

3. After the Indicator Light has turned off, release the On/Off Button.

4. Press and hold the Upper Button on the Handheld until the Collar Indicator Light flashes 5 times. If the Collar Indicator Light does not flash 5 times, start over from beginning.

5. To program the second Collar, repeat Steps 1 through 4, but with the toggle switch in the b position.

NOTE: Should you wish to raise or lower the stim range setting on either collar, detailed instructions can be found on our support site. Scan the QR code found here.

BATTERY
This Collar operates on one Li-Ion battery pack. Only replace with battery
received from the Customer Care Center.

• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.

• Rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before charging, and cannot be over charged.

• The battery comes partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.

• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done once every 3 to 4 months.

• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to  half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a new battery.

• The battery should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Center.
  AT END OF PRODUCT LIFE, USE THESE BATTERY REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINAL DISPOSAL (DO NOT OPEN THE COLLAR UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT):

• Using a 3/32 Hex Key for your Collar, remove the case screws.

• Remove the case back or cover.

• Remove the old battery pack.

These instructions are not valid for repair or battery replacement. To avoid invalidating your warranty, please contact the Customer Care Center for help in replacing your battery with one that is specifically approved by Radio Systems Corporation.
