ADJUSTING & POSlTlONlNG YOUR
COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT I
position are very important to
insure safety and correct
functioning everytime you
All electronic collars need to be
very snug to work properly. They
must bejust tight enough to allow
the "prongs" or electrodes to make good skin contact.
Lf your collaris too loose, the stimulation may not work
properly because good skin contact is not being achieved.
This can directly affect the stimulation performance and
whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation.
Always check for good "prong" contact if it appearsthat
your dog is not responding to the stimulation.
A loose collar can promote skin irritationfrom moving or
rubbing too much on a dog's neck while they are running
or training. Theproper snug fit will help prevent this
from occurring.
Proper fit of the collar is important. It shouldbejust
tight enough on the dog's neck to make good skin contact
and allow the dog to breath normally. The collar should
never be so tight on the dog's neck that it restrictsthe
dog's normal breathing pattern.
For proper positioning of your collarreceiverbox, it
should be placed on the center of the dog's neck.

TURNING YOUR UNIT ON & OFF
I I
Turning the Unit On:
Press and hold the Power button
on the Collar Receiver. The red
LED will flash for approximately
7 seconds. You may release the
Power button at any time while
the red LED is flashing.The unit
is now ON. The LED indicator will now flash approxi-
mately every
2 seconds.
(Note: You can turn on the Transmitterby pressing any
button on the transmitter. When the transmitter is turned
on, the backlight will light for
5 seconds and then go into
power save mode. In this mode, you will be able to see all
the indicators and icons, but the backlight will be turned
off.)
Turning the Unit Off:
Press and hold the Power button. The red LED will flash
for approximately
7 seconds. You may release the Power
button at any time while the red LED is flashing. The unit
is now OFF.
(Note: Because of the power save mode, the Transmitter
will turn off after one hour. When the LCD display is on
and has visible markings, it can be manually turned off by
pressing the "Intensity
Up" and "Intensity Down" buttons
at the same time for more than
2 seconds.)

The first and most important step in training your dog with
your SPT Training System is the determination of the cor-
rect Intensity Level to provide the proper training stimula-
tion without over stimulatingyour dog.
To do this, place the collar
ON and place it on the dog's
neck. Press the Intensity LevelAdjustment Down button
until the LCD display shows that the system is set on level
1. Press eitherthe "NICK"' or the "STIMU." button.
Increase the Intensity Level in increments ofjust one or
two until the dog feels the stimulation. You shouldbe able
to tell when the dog is feelingthe stimulation by a twitch
of the ear, a confused look, etc. At this point increase the
Intensity Level by three. This should be your dog's ideal
training level. (Note: Some dog's may require more or less
stimulation dependingupon their individual nature or size.)
Setting the Intensity Level:
All SPTcollars have 50 available intensity levels
with
1 being the lowest and 50 the highest. The
current Intensity Level is conveniently shown on
the LCD Display. To change intensity levels at
any time, simply press the Up or Down Intensity
Level Adjustment buttons (on the right of the
transmitter). You can change the level one step at
a time
by quickly tapping one of the buttons, or you can rapidly
change levels by holding down a button.

Using the Rise Stimulation
The Rise function will gradually increase stimulationfrom
your current intensity level to the maximum intensity level
(level
50) while the "RISE button is being pressed. The
intensity level will return to its original settingwhen the
button is released.
Settingthe Jump Level
1. Press and hold both the "JUMP" button and one of the
Intensity Level Buttons at the same time ("Intensity Up"
button for increase, "Intensity Down" button for decrease).
2. Release only the Intensity Level button when approxi-
mate desired Intensity Level is met. Keep the
"JUMP" but-
ton depressed.
3. With the Jump button still depressed, you can now tap
the
Up or Down Intensity Level button to fine tune the
level desired.
4. Like the Rise stimulation, the intensity level will return
to its original settingafter the Jump feature has been used.
To avoid accidentallyshockingyour dog, please make surethat
the collar is NOT on the dog
whilesetting the jump level. If the
two buttons are not pushed at the EXACT same time, you
will

A REMOTE TRAINING BUTTONS I
Your SPT 2400 series collarhas four control buttons on the
front of the transmitter and up to three buttons on the left
sideof the transmitter
(1 button on SPT 2420 and 2422
models,
3 buttons on SPT 2430 and 2432 models).
Pressing the
"NICK" button applies a very quick
stimulation.
Pressing the "STIMU." or constant stimulation but-
ton applies a continuous stimulation for up to
8 sec-
onds.
L
ressing the "JUMP" button causes the collarto
apply a Jump stimulation. This featureallowsyou to
instantly 'jump' to a predetermined intensity level.
e
Pressing the "RISE" button causesthe collar to
pply a stimulation that gradually increases in inten-
sity level the longer you hold this button down.
Pressingthe bottom button on the left side of the transmit-
ter causes the collar to vibrate.

When the battery is running low in the transmitter,the back-
light will flash
15 times for 5 secondsto alert you of this sta-
tus. The collarunit will flash its red LED
3 times every 2 sec-
onds when its battery is low.
The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will
require a full charge before the fnst use (12 hours).
Remember to always keep batteriesaway from open flames.
When storingthe unit for extendedperiods, rememberto regu-
larly givethe batteries
a full charge (12 hours). This shouldbe
done once every
4 to 6 weeks.
Excessiveovercharging can shorten battery life. Never leave
the batteries plugged in for more than 12hours at
a time.
Batterv ChargingProcedure
1. Turn the unit OFF.
2. Plug the charger into a
standard electricaloutlet.
3. Plug the transmittter
andorcollar(s)into the
charger.You can charge
them either separatelyor
simultaneously.
4. Chargethe collar battery for up to 12hours. Charge the trans-
mitter battery until the battery statusblinks on the LCD display.
5. When chargingis complete, disconnectthe chargingcables
from the receptacles and securely replace the rubber battery
receptacle covers.
6. Test your unit to ensurethat everything is working properly.

There are two or three methods you can use to test your
SUPERPRO @LITETRAINERTM
depending upon your model's features.
First, you should make sure that both the transmitter and
receiver are hlly charged. Then,
turn on the power to the
Collar Receiver. Next, follow one of these three steps:
To Test the Electronic
Stimulation:
A) Place the tester firmly on
the electrodes of the Collar
Receiver.
B) Set the intensity (Note - An
intensity level settingof 7 or
less might not be enough to
light the tester).
C) Push one of the training but
tons.
D) The tester light will quickly
flash oncefor the Nick Stimulation and light steadily when
the Constant Stimulation, Jump Stimulation, or Rise
Stimulation button is pushed (the higher the intensity,the
brighter the test light).

lo lest the Vibration:
A) Press the VIBRATION button (bottom button on left
side of transmitter).
B) When you press the VIBRATION button the unit
should vibrate but the tester should not light.
To Test the Beeper:
(SPT 2430 and 2432 only)
A) Press the LOCATE button (top button on left side of
transmitter). The collar should beep anytime this
button is pressed
B) Press the RunIPoint Mode button (middle button on left
side of transmitter). The unit is now in the Run and
Point Mode. In this mode, the collar should beep about
every
5 seconds while your dog is on the move and
every
2 seconds when your dog has stopped to point.
C) Press the RunJPoint Mode button again to put the collar
in the Point Only mode. In this mode, the collar will be
silent while your dog is on the move and beep every
2
seconds when your dog has stopped to point.

Press and hold the Power button on the Collar Receiver.
The red
LED light on the collar will flash 7 times and then
stay on solid.
You must hold down thepower button until
the LED light becomes solid. Simultaneously press and
release the "NICK and "STIMU." buttons. In a few sec-
onds, you will see the LED light blink
3 times. The collar
ID is now programmed, and the collar receiver is now
ON.
It is very important to periodically clean your
SUPERPRO
@UTE TRAINERTMfor maximum
performance. Regular cleaning will also lengthen the life
of your unit.
Clean the SUPER PRO @LITE TRAINERTMcollarbox
with lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap.
Take care to thoroughly clean the space between the
electrodes and the belt.
The belt and buckle should be cleaned with water and a
mild soap then allowed to dry completely.
Always allow the entire unit to completely dry before
using.

Before beginning training your dog shouldbe examined by
a veterinarian to assure that there are no physical reasons
for your dog's excessive barking and to assurethat your
dog in good health.
Your SUPER PRO @UTE TRIUNERTM is a very
valuabletool if used correctly. Therefore, it is extremely
important that you completelyunderstand all functionsof
the collar andhow to properly train with it before placing it
on your dog.
Since no electronic device is perfect, there is an extremely
slimpossibilitythat your dog may receive an unintentional
electric stimulation. Therefore, never leave the unit on your
dog while unsupervised.
The electrodes on this collar are made with high grade
stainless steel to help prevent any chemical or allergic
reactions with your dog's skin.
To prevent neck irritation, the collar shouldnever be worn
for more than
12 hours a day. Daily changingthe collar
location on the dog's neck will also help prevent irritations.
It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the
electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacteria1soap.
If an irritation is found, carefullywash the dog's neck with
soap and water and then wipe the area with Hydrogen
Peroxide. Dry thoroughly and apply an antibioticointment.
