How to Turn Unit On/Off
To activate the receiver/collar, place the red dot on the back of the transmitter to the red dot on the collar/receiver. Hold the two red dots together for a moment until the LED light on the receiver/collar comes on. To deactivate the unit, repeat the same procedure holding the two red dots together
momentarily. The LED light will turn red for a brief moment indicating that the collar/receiver is now shut off. The transmitter does not have on/off switch, and it will only activate when buttons are pressed.
How the Buttons Work
There are three buttons in the front of the transmitter.
N - Nick button
Nick is a single rapid pulse of electrical stimulation.
C - Constant button
Constant gives constant stimulation as long as the button is pushed, for up to 12 seconds. The unit has an automatic shut off should the button be depressed for more than 12 seconds.
P - Pager button
Pager is a non-stimulating vibration.
How to Fit the Collar on the Dog
The collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog's skin. When properly fitted, you should be able to fit a finger or two snugly in between the contact points and your dog's skin. When properly fitted, the receiver/collar should not move on the dog. The best location for the receiver box is either side of the dog's windpipe. A loose fit can allow the receiver/collar to move around on the dog's neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the collar
is too tight, the dog may have difficulty breathing.
Finding the Right Stimulation Level for My Dog
Stimulation level is controlled by the stimulation intensity dial: (0) being the lowest level and (100) being the highest level. Setting adjustment depends on your dog's temperament and threshold for stimulation. Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. An appropriate level is when the dog responds to the stimulation with a mild negative reaction such as jerking/tensing of the neck muscles. When the dog's attitude changes, especially during times of increased excitement or distraction, you may need to adjust the intensity level upwards.
To Maximize the Effective Range
The IQ has a 400-yard range. Depending on the way you hold your transmitter, the range may vary. Hold the transmitter away from your body to get the greatest range. For maximum signal strength, keep your unit
properly charged. *Avoid touching the antenna as the range may substantially decrease.
Check the Status Using LED indicator
When the receiver is on and ready to operate, the LED will glow steadily on both transmitter and receiver while any buttons are pressed. The LED color indicates battery life level. Green = full charge, Amber = medium, Red = needs charge. If you continue to operate the unit when the LED is red (needs charge), it will shut down.
Charging the Battery
- Remove the rubber plug temporarily and plug in the charger.
- Plug the adapter's power plug into a standard AC wall outlet. The LED will glow red.
- When charging is finished, the LED will glow green. Unplug the adapter's power plug from the AC wall outlet and disconnect the charger from the unit.
- Place the rubber plug back in the battery charging receptacle.
* The receiver is still fully waterproof even if the rubber plug is not closed, but place the rubber plug in the battery charging receptacle to make sure dirt does not get inside.
Warning
- Fully charge the unit before using it for the first time.
- Do not charge the batteries near any flammable substances.
- Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for a period of one month or more.
- Always use Dogtra approved chargers. If improper chargers are used, the LED will flash in amber or may not light up at all.
