Battery Charging Procedure

The YS600 uses lithium-polymer batteries. The battery charger is designed for a 120 volt wall outlet.

Note 1: Only use Dogtra-approved lithium polymer batteries and chargers for your Dogtra unit. 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 collar, be sure to give it a full 2-hour initial charge before the first use. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.

1. Attach the charging cable to the receiver, as shown
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 230 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
3. The lithium polymer battery is fully charged within 2 hours. The lights will stay red during the charging The red light will turn green once the unit is fully charged.
4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles with the rubber plugs on the

COLLAR FITTING

Proper Fit

The collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be able to fit a finger in between the contact point and your dog’s skin. The best location is on either side of the dog’s windpipe

Improper Fit

A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the collar is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.

Attention!

Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods, occasionally reposition the collar so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit. Remove all other collars when using the YS600 since additional collars or buckles may inadvertently activate the unit.

MAINTENANCE

Basic Maintenance

Be sure the rubber charging cap is securely in place when the collar is in use. After each training session, carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage to the casing. Damaged or broken casing may affect the waterproof guarantee on the unit. After confirming that there is no damage to the casing, rinse the receiver/collar and clean out any dirt or debris.

Storage Maintenance

The YS600 should be fully charged before storing for extended periods. While in storage, the unit should be given a full charge once a month and before the first use. Store the units in room temperature. Do not keep the units exposed to extreme climates.

Troubleshooting

If the unit is malfunctioning, please refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” before sending it to Dogtra for service. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email them to [email protected], or call customer service at 888-811-9111.
