AUJUP I ANU QL rua~ I AUNANU TUUK
COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT
Proper collartightnessand position
are very importantto insuresafety
and correct functioningevery time
you use
the collar.
All electroniccollars need to be
very snug to work properly.
They must bejust tight enough
to allow the "prongs"or
electrodesto makegood skin
contact.
Ifyour collar istoo loose, the stimulationmay not
work properlybecausegood skin contact is not
beingachieved. This can directlyaffectthe
stimulation performanceandwhether or notthe dog
will receivethe stimulation. Always check for good
"prong" contact if itappears that your dog is not
respondingto the stimulation.
A loosecollar can promoteskin irritationfrom
movingor rubbingtoo much on a dog's neck while
they are runningor training. The propersnugfit will
help preventthis from occurring.
Properfit of the collar is important. Itshouldbetight
enough on the dog's neckto makegood skin
contact and allow the dog to breath normally. The
collar should never beso tight on the dog's neck
that it restrictsthe dog's normalbreathingpattern.
For properpositioningof your collar receiverbox, it
should be placedon the center of the dog's neck.

All H20 Series TM collars are equipped with
rechargeable NickelMetalHydride (NiMH) batteries.
NiMH batteriesare not memorysensitiveand do not
requiredepletionbefore recharging.
The batteriescome partiallycharged from thefactory.
However, it is recommendedthat you give the battery
a full charge (about
12 hours) beforethe first use.
Remember
- Always keep batteriesaway from
flammablesubstances (especiallywhen charging).
Whenstoringthe unitfor long periods remember to
regularlygive the batteriesa full charge
(1 2 hours)
once every
4 to 6 weeks.
BatteryCharging Procedure
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Plugthe charger intoa
standardelectricaloutlet.
3. Charge the batteriesfor upto
12 hours. This can bedone
I either separatelyor
simultaneously.
4. After charging, disconnect the batterycharging
cablesfrom the receptacles and securely replace
the rubber battery receptaclecovers.
5. Testthe system to makesure that everythingis
working properly.

The first and most importantstep intrainingyour dog
with your H20Training System is determining the
correct lntensity Levelto providethe propertraining
stimulationwithout over-shockingyour dog.
To do this placethe Collar on the dog's neck and turn
it on. Placethe lntensitySelectiondialso that the
System is set on Level One. Press either the 'NICK'
or the 'CONT' Button. Increasethe lntensityLevel in
incrementsof one untilthe dog isfeelingthe
stimulation. You should be able to tell when the dog is
feeling the shock bythe outwardsigns of discomfort or
confusionon it'sface. At this point, increasethe
lntensity Levelbyone or two. This should beyour
dog's idealtraining level. (Note: Some dog's may
requiremore or less stimulationdepending upon their
individualnatureor size.)
Usingthe RiseStimulation:
(H20 18301183211833 only)
The Risefunction will graduallyincreasefrom your
current intensitylevelto the maximum intensitylevel
(level
16) while the rise button is being pressed. The
intensitylevelwill returnto its originalsettingwhen the
button is released.

Settincl the Jump Stimulation Level:
(H20 18301183211833 only)
1. Set the intensitylevelto the levelthat you would
like itto "jump"to
2. On the transmitter,press and hold buttons
#I and
#2 ('Jump' and 'Rise' buttons)at the sametime.
3. When you see the LEDflashing, releaseboth but-
tons. The numberof times the LED lightflashes
shows you the intensitylevelfor the Jump Stimula-
tion.
4. Likethe Risestimulation,the intensitylevelwill
returnto itsoriginalsettingafter the Jumpfeature
has been used.
To avoidaccidentallyshockingyour dog, please make surethat
the collar is
NOT on the dog whilesetting the jump level. If the
two buttons are not pushedat the
EXACT sametime, you will
runthe risk of emittinga shock.

Pressand hold the power buttonon the Collar Re-
ceiver. You will see the LED lighton the collar blink
7
times beforestayingsolid. You mustholddown the
power buttonuntilthe LED lightbecomessolid. Si-
multaneously, pressand releasethe nick and continu-
ous buttons. Inafew seconds, you will see the LED
light blink
3 times. The collar ID is now programmed,
and the collar receiveris now ON.
Beforetesting, makesure that both units arefully
charged andthe powerto the Collar Receiver is "ON".
To Test the ElectronicStimulation:
A) Placethe tester firmly on the electrodesof the
Collar Receiver.
B)Set the intensity(note
- an intensity
level setting of
4 or less might not be
&ough to lightthe tester).
C) Pusheitherthe 'NICK' or 'STIMU'

To Test the Vibration:
(H20 18201182211823 only)
A) Followthe directionsfor testingthe Electronic
Stimulation, and pressthe button on the leftside
of the transmitter.
B) Ifyou pressthe buttonon the rightside of the
transmitter,the unitshouldvibratefor 112 second
and thenthe tester should lightwhile vibrating at
the same time.
To Test the Beeper:
(H20 18501185211853 only)
A) Pressthe buttonlocatedon the left side of the
transmitter (Locatebutton). The collarshould
beep any timethis button is pressed.
B) Pressthe buttonon the right side ofthe transmitter
(RunlPoint button)to activatethe RunlPoint Mode.
Pressthe buttonagain to change to Pointonly
mode. Inthe RunlPointmode, the collar should
beep every 4-5 seconds while your dog ison the
run, and every 1-2seconds when your dog ison
point. Inthe Pointonly mode,the collarwill beep
onlywhen your dog ison point. You can shake
the collarto simulateyour dog onthe run. Press
the 'Locate' buttonto cancel these modes.

Beforebeginningtraining, your dog should be
examinedby a veterinarianto assure that your dog
isingood health.
Never leave your don unattendedwith the unit
on.
Since no electronicdevice is perfect,there is a
-
very slight possibilitythat your dog may receivean
unintentionalelectric stimulation.
Your H20 Series TM training collar isa very valuable
tool if used correctly. Itis extremelyimportantthat
you completelyunderstandall the functions of the
collar and how to properlytrain with it before placing
it on your dog.
The electrodeson this collar are madewith high
grade stainlesssteel to help prevent any chemical
or allergic reactionswith your dog's skin.
To prevent neck irritation, the collar should
never beworn for morethan
12 hoursa day.
Channinnthe collar location on the don's neck
daily will also help prevent irritations. It is
importantto keepthe collar clean.
Cleanthe
electrodes regularlywith a mildanti-bacterialsoap.
Ifan irritation isfound, carefullywash the dog's neck
with soap andwater and then wipe the area with
Hydrogenperoxide. Drythoroughlyand apply an
antibiotic ointment.

Itisve importantto periodicallyclean your H20
Seriesy"' systemsfor maximum performance.
Regular cleaningwill also lengthenthe lifeof your
unit.
Cleanthe H20 Series TM collar boxwith lukewarm
