PREPARE THE COLLAR RECEIVER
CHARGE THE COLLAR RECEIVER
(SD-425X, SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO, SD-825X)
- Lift the rubber cover protecting the Charging Jack.
- Connect one of the charge connectors to the Charging Jack (1A).
- Plug the charger into a standard 120/240-volt AC wall outlet.
- Charge the Collar Receiver for 2 hours during the first charge, and every charge thereafter. Remove the charge connector once charged and secure the rubber cover fully to ensure debris does not enter the Charging Jack.
CHARGE THE COLLAR RECEIVER
(SD-1225X, SD-1825X, SD-1825XCAMO)
- Align the Contact Points with the Charging Cradle, making sure the hole on the Charging Cradle aligns with the Receiver Indicator Light.
- Push the Charging Cradle up and back on the Collar Receiver, until the cradle snaps into place (1B).
- Plug the charge connector into the Charging Cradle (1C).
- Plug the charger into a standard 120/240-volt AC wall outlet.
- Charge the Collar Receiver for 2 hours during the first charge, and every charge thereafter. Remove both the charge connector and Charging Cradle from the Collar Receiver once charged. The Charging Cradle is not intended to be attached when the Collar Receiver is in use.
Using Li-Ion technology, the Collar Receiver only requires a 2-hour charge. It is not harmful to let the unit charge for more than 2 hours.
TO TURN THE COLLAR RECEIVER ON
Press and release the On/Off Button. The Collar Receiver Indicator Light will
come on and the Collar Receiver will beep 1-2 times (1-3 times for SD-1225X,
SD1825X, SD-1825XCAMO) depending on what stimulation range is chosen (page 6).
The default is 2 (medium).
TO TURN THE COLLAR RECEIVER OFF
Press and release the On/Off Button when the Receiver Indicator Light comes on
solid red and the Collar Receiver beeps for 2 seconds. To extend the life
between charging cycles, turn the Collar Receiver off when it is not in use.
NOTE:
The approximate battery life between charges is 50 to 70 hours (140 to 160
hours for SD-1225X, SD-1825X, and SD-1825XCAMO), depending on the frequency of
use.

FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: THE PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVE TRAINING. THE CONTACT POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
- With your dog standing (2A), center the Collar Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (2B). If your dog has a long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure consistent contact: either trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included with your system.
- The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and your dog’s neck (2C).
- Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
Your SportDOG® Brand system has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation level that is best for your dog. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or flicks his ears.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
FINDING YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL
NOTE:
Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition
Level will be. Watch closely for any slight change in behavior that
demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
- With the Collar, Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
- If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.
- YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
- Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
- If you have progressed to the highest static stimulation level while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, you have three options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change to a higher static stimulation range.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
CHANGING STATIC STIMULATION RANGES
Your SportDOG® Brand Collar Receiver comes with 2-3 static stimulation ranges depending on the model. In the Remote Transmitter’s default mode (see below) there are 21 static stimulation levels within each range, with 1 being the lowest and 21 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 or medium.
To change the range of static stimulation, follow these steps:
- Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
- Then turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.
- After the Indicator Light turns off and within 5 seconds, press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
- The Collar Receiver will then beep and the Indicator Light will flash orange as indicated by the chart below. Continue to hold the button until the number of beeps/orange flashes equals the desired stimulation range shown.
- Release the button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
- Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the static stimulation range selected in Step 4.

and SD-1825XCAMO
3 beeps| High| Stubborn| SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO, SD-1225X, SD-1825X, and SD- 1825XCAMO
PROGRAM THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER
Your Remote Transmitter has multiple operational modes (seven modes: SD-425X, SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO, SD-825X, SD-1225X or fourteen modes: SD-1825X, SD- 1825XCAMO) to allow you to select the best match for your type or style of training. The Remote Transmitter is factory set to mode 5 (SD-425X, SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO, SD-825X, SD-1225X) or 5:a (SD-1825X, SD-1825XCAMO). There is also one programming mode (Mode V/T) which allows you to change the system’s ID code.
TO CHANGE THE MODE
- Referring to the model-appropriate mode chart on pages 7-9, choose your desired mode number (1-7) and toggle position (a or b if using SD-1825X, SD-1825XCAMO). Adjust both the Intensity Dial and Toggle Switch to match your desired mode.
- Turn the Remote Transmitter over and remove the belt clip (if attached).
- 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 on the SD-1825X, switch the toggle to the grey/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 Transmitter Indicator Light will flash 6 times. However, if you select Mode V/T (ID Code) in the grey/a position, the light will remain solid in color once the Mode Button is released.
NOTE:
If you own an original SD-425, SD-425S, SD-425CAMO, SD-825, SD-1225, SD-1825,
or SD-1825CAMO your transmitter will work with the X-Series Add-A-Dog®
collars, but you will need to download the correct mode chart for your system
from sportdog.com.

CHANGE ID CODES
An ID Code is the signal identification between the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver. Each is programmed in 1 of 2,000 ID Codes from the factory. The Remote Transmitter has the flexibility to program two or more Remote Transmitters to the same ID Code, allowing them to control one Collar Receiver. There are 64 programmable ID Codes available.
TO MANUALLY PROGRAM A REMOTE TRANSMITTER’S ID CODE
- Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T (if programming SD-1825X or SD-1825XCAMO place the toggle switch in the grey/a position), and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does not change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete.
- Once the Mode Button is released, the Transmitter Indicator Light will illuminate solid green and stay on for 15 seconds.
- While the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 1st digit of the ID and then press and release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming the selection.
- Again, while the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 2nd digit of the ID and then press and release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming the selection. The 2nd digit is optional and, if not desired, wait until the green light turns off and refrain from pressing the Side Button.
- At the end of 15 seconds, or after the second press of the Side Button, the green Indicator Light will turn off and the ID of the Remote Transmitter will be updated. At this point, the Remote Transmitter will be in the same mode it was in prior to setting the ID.
- Upon changing the ID Code, you will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 05).
NOTE:
If you press the Side Button only once (skipping Step 4) the ID is still a
two-digit ID. The left digit defaults to 1. For example, if you selected 6 in
Step 3 and pressed the Side Button only once, the ID you get will be 16.
TO RETURN THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER TO THE FACTORY ID
-
Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T (if programming SD-1825X or SD-1825XCAMO place the toggle switch in the
grey/a position) and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does not change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete. -
Do not press any buttons and wait until the green Transmitter Indicator Light turns off.
-
You will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 05).
