Pressing the Constant button causes the
collar to emit electrical stimulation that stays
on for up to twelve seconds as long as the
button is held down. Constant stimulation is
used as a reserve high to stop unsafe behaviors
such as chasing animals or cars.
All collars come complete with a
handheld transmitter, dog collar with receiver,
battery charger, test light, operating
instructions manual and carrying case.

OVERVIEW OVERVIEW
training collars give you the
ability to communicate with your dog in a
timely manner even when the dog is far away
from you. This makes it much easier for the
dog to learn its lessons because late corrections
are very confusing to the dog.
remote collars offer two different
kinds of stimulation:
Pressing the Nick button causes a very
short single pulse of electrical stimulation.
It automatically shuts off in a fraction of a
second, no matter how long the button is held
down.
The Nick is used as a substitute for leash
corrections when the dog is off lead.
It is mild but motivating!
OVERVIEW

6
Easy-to-use transmitter.
All intensity level adjustments are made
from a digital dial on the transmitter. The
dial works like a rheostat, gradually
increasing the intensity with no jumps
between intensity levels.
Reliable stimulation effective for all types of
dogs no matter how heavy the coat.
The has a one-mile
range.
Waterproof collar receiver and transmitter.
No external antenna on the collar receiver.
User replaceable and rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries.
Over 3000 different identity codes to prevent
conflicts with other collars.
7
SAFETY
collars use state-of-the-art micro-
computer technology. Both the transmitter and
receiver have an automatic control which
limits the stimulus to twelve seconds when
used in the Constant mode and a fraction of
a second when used in the Nick mode.
A filtering system prevents reception from
sources other than your transmitter.

around on the dog s neck. When this happens the
contact points may rub the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent and your corrections
