Quick Start

Step 1: Screw the antenna tightly onto the transmitter.
Step 2: Charge the transmitter. The battery is charging when the battery status icon moves up and down. When the battery is fully charged, the icon will stop moving and be full.
Step 3: Screw the metal prongs onto the receiver till the prongs are securely attached. Normally, they are assembled in the factory.
Step 4: Charge the receiver. The RED LED light of the receiver will be on while the receiver is charging. When the receiver is fully charged, the BLUE LED will be on. Once you unplug the charger, the RED LED light will stay solid on-waiting for sync. At the same time, the Blue LED light will go off.

Tip 1: It is recommended to charge the transmitter and receiver for up to 3 hours for the first 3 times.

Step 5: Turn the receiver on/off. Bring the magnet on the transmitter near to the magnet switch on the receiver until the receiver vibrates. At that time, the red light will be on/off, indicating that the receiver is started/off. If you just finish charging, unplug the charger, and the receiver is on already.

Tip 2: To do a self-test, place the magnet on the transmitter near to the ON/OFF area on the receiver for 3 times, and the receiver will vibrate or shock with the blue light on, indicating the transmitter works normally.

Step 6: Match the receiver and transmitter. First, turn the transmitter on by pressing the two buttons on the right side of the transmitter simultaneously until the screen is turned on.
Choose a dog mode (Dog1, dog2 or dog00) by pressing the dog switch button. For the first receiver, choose dog 1 mode and quickly press one of the two buttons in the front, and the first receiver will be connected with the transmitter. Meanwhile, the red light goes off and the blue light starts flashing. If you have another receiver, turn it on, choose dog 2 mode, press any function buttons, and the second receiver will be paired. You can train different dogs separately in different dog systems. If Dog00 is selected, both dogs will receive correctional signals.
Step 7: Check the button functions.
Press the vibrate button, and the receiver vibrates. Cap the shock test kit on the metal prongs, and press the shock button. If the bulb lights up, the shock function is normal.
Tip 3: After 1 minute of inactivity, the transmitter will go into sleep mode.
You can wake it up by pressing any function key.
Tip 4: The duration for pressing the vibrate or shock button will lead to a difference on the length of the vibration or shock time.
Tip 5: When the transmitter is dead or malfunctioning, use a toothpick or similar tools to restart the transmitter by pressing the reset button.
Step 8: Adjust the intensity of the shock.
There are 2 buttons on the transmitter’s right side: Up button and Down button. The Up button is to increase while the Down button is to decrease the intensity of the shock. 10 levels are available. In level 0, you can do nothing with the transmitter.

Tip 6: To avoid misuse, you can lock the transmitter by pressing the Up and Down buttons simultaneously. Do it again, and the transmitter will be unlocked.

Step 9: Start to train the dogs. Put the collar into the receiver and wear the receiver around the dog’s neck. Remember to leave one finger placed between the collar and the neck, and then you can train the dogs.

H: What is the function of the rubber cap outside the charging port?

It prevents dust or water from coming into the charging port effectively. You need to plug the cap into the charging port tightly when charging is completed.

Make sure the Receiver has enough power because the Receiver will alarm when it runs out of power.
Make sure any button of the Transmitter has not been touched.
Sync the Receiver with the Transmitter once again.

K: When buying individual Receivers or Transmitters, why do I need to double-check the version?

Aetertek updated all machine frequencies from 433.92 MHz to 915 MHz, so every time you need to buy an individual Receiver or Transmitter, you must know the frequency you need; otherwise they will not be compatible.

L: After you unplug the charger, the red LED light in the Receiver stays solid to wait for sync, however, it can never be synced with the Transmitter.

Please turn off your Receiver and re-sync it.

M: My Receiver seems to work by itself without the operation of the Transmitter.

Check whether the auto anti-bark function is on. If Yes, turn it off.

N: The Auto anti-bark feature is not working properly.

Make sure the auto anti-bark feature has been turned on, then you can test the function by scratching the shocking prongs on the surface of a desk, and the qualified Receiver will start to beep and vibrate.

Training Tips

This product is intended to support behavioral training and is not designed to be used without necessary interaction. Always praise your dog for good behavior. Verbal commands with positive reinforcement will contribute to the success of your training and will achieve the fastest and most desirable results possible.
The recommended age for training is a minimum of 6 months, provided that dog has the attention span and capability to learn basic commands. It should not be used on aggressive or elderly animals in poor health or animals otherwise unable to withstand the stimulus.
Use verbal commands first, and supplement with a corrective stimulus only as needed. Be consistent with your verbal commands, using the same words every time. Work with your pet on one behavior at a time to avoid confusion and frustration. Use as little stimulus as possible and only to reinforce verbal commands when necessary. Do not over correct your dog.
For example, use the beeps as a warning by pressing the Beep button. The dog will become conditioned to the beep preceding the corrective stimulus and will soon learn to recognize the beep as a warning along with your verbal command. Do not rely on this product solely to train your dog. Some dogs will not respond to this product. Aetertek cannot guarantee the effectiveness of this or any trainer on your dog. If your dog shows signs of growling, snarling, biting or aggression while using the collar, discontinue use immediately and contact a professional trainer for advice.

Safety Guidance

It is forbidden to open the receiver in case of breakage of the machine or harm the waterproof Feature; otherwise, it will violate warranty rules.
In order to guarantee a submersible feature, the waterproof rubber charging lid should be plugged in tightly.
Only use the supplied adaptor to charge the receiver, otherwise the receiver will probably be damaged.
Users are NOT suggested to touch the metal prongs on the receiver, otherwise, it will harm the human body in case of a shocking operation. To test shock correction, please use the supplied test kit.
If there is water in the charging hole, please dry it before charging the receiver
Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a condition similar to bedsores, known as Pressure Necrosis. To reduce the possibility, you must do the following (VERY IMPORTANT):

Never leave the collar on dog for more than 12 hours per day;
Examine the dog’s neck daily for any signs of a rash or sore;
Supervise your dog during the first 2 days of training;
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure. you should be able to insert one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s skin;
