CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Dogtra RR DELUXE uses a nickel metal hydride battery. Recharge the unit if the indicator light is red, the light does not come on, or the system will not stay on when any button is pressed.

NOTE 1: Only use Dogtra-approved batteries, chargers, and accessories for your Dogtra systems. This will prevent any damage that can be incurred from attempting to use a different charger.

NOTE 2: The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the Dogtra facility. Upon receipt of the system, be sure to give it a full 14-hour initial charge before the first use away from any flammable substances.

NOTE 3: When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for a period of 3 months or more.

Follow the steps below to charge your system:

1. Open the rubber plugs on the battery charging receptacles and plug in the charging cable.
2. Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet or, if using the auto charger, plug into a cigarette lighter only for lithium polymer batteries (use a 220 volt European charger for Europe). All indicator lights should glow red when properly plugged in and the unit will automatically shut off during the charging process. You will need to turn the unit on again before use once the unit is fully charged and unplugged from the battery cable.
3. The nickel metal hydride battery is fully charged within 14 hours. The lights will stay red when charging and when fully charged. Since that is the case, make sure to note when the 14 hour charging period is complete.
4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles with the rubber plugs.

MAXIMIZING THE DISTANCE

The Dogtra RR DELUXE has a range of 1 mile. Depending on the way you use your transmitter, the transmitter range may vary.

To get the greatest range, hold the transmitter away from your body and avoid touching the antenna. Keep your unit properly charged for maximum signal strength.
