TRAINING & BEEP COLLAR
TRAINING &
BEEPER COLLAR
The features
reliable stimulation controlled from the
transmitter. It also has a remote beeper with
three modes. In the Run/Point mode, it beeps
every 7.5 seconds while the dog is running and
every two seconds when the dog is on point. In
Point mode, the collar is silent until the dog
stops, and then it beeps every two seconds. In
the Locate mode it will beep as long as you
press the Locate button. The tone of the
beeper can be selected with a toggle switch
located on the transmitter. There are two
beeper modes : high and low.
The collar also comes in a
two-dog model. The collars are color-coded
and you select between collars with a toggle
switch located on the transmitter.
The orange collar emits a low-tone double
beep in all modes and the black collar emits a
high-tone single beep in all modes. This gives
you the ability to differentiate between dogs
when both are out of sight.

OVERVIEW
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A
COMBINATION
TRAINING/BEEPER COLLAR!
The remote
training system will give you the ability to keep
track of your dog’s location when he/she is out
of sight or on point.
The is also a
training collar that can be used for behavior
management.
The dogtra training/beeper collars are
waterproof, lightweight and reliable. They are
built to withstand the most rugged conditions
that your dog may encounter.
The use of a sound booster element makes
the beeper easier to hear from further away.
However, the actual distance from which any
beeper can be heard will vary depending on your
position relative to your dog and the direction of
the wind.
The use of microcomputer technology,
digital circuitry and Ni-MH batteries make
both the collar and transmitter compact and very
reliable.

PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS
Safety for your dog
Studies conducted by animal health professionals at
Dogtra Company’s training facilities showed no
adverse effects to the cardiovascular or nervous system
of dogs from e-collar stimulation. These studies
involved healthy dogs in a controlled environment.
Dogs should be in good health during any e-collar
training. Dogtra e-collars are not intended for use on
dogs weighing less than 12 pounds or under 6 months
of age.
Skin irritation can occur from prolonged wearing of
the stainless steel contact points on the training collar.
Most dogs will exhibit some type of irritation (pressure
necrosis) from prolonged contact of stainless steel
contact points. This is why it states in your owner’s
manual:
Attention:
Avoid having the dog wear the collar with the
contact points in the same place for more than two hours
at a time. Leaving the contact points on the same spot
for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation.
If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,
occasionally reposition the collar so that the contact
points are moved to a different spot on the dog’s neck.

Proper e-collar use
e-collars are intended for the sole
purpose of behavior modification of dogs. They are
not intended for human use or use on other animals.
Dogtra Company does not assume any liability for
improper use of the Dogtra e-collar.
Aggressive dogs
does not recommend using the e-collar
to correct dogs that are aggressive towards other
dogs or people. In many such cases the dog will
associate the stimulation with the other dog or
individual and become even more aggressive. Dog
aggression is best treated by a dog training
specialist.
Interference with other electronic devices
Dogtra’s industry-leading technology filtering
system ensures minimal interference with other
electronic devices (cellular phones, security systems,
etc.). Our digital microprocessor offers thousands of
unique codes to eliminate frequency match-up with
other Dogtra e-collars.
Inadvertent activation
If the constant button is held down for 12
seconds or more the unit will automatically shut
down. It will reactivate when the button is released.

OPERATING
OPERATING THE
The collar has three beeper
modes along with constant and nick stimulation
from the electric collar.
In the "Run/Point" mode it emits a double beep
every 7.5 seconds while the dog is running. In the
"Point" mode it remains silent while the dog is
running. In both the "Run/Point" and "Point" mode,
the collar gives a double beep every two seconds
while the dog is on point.
The collar will emit a rapid series of beeps as
long as the “Locate” button is held down. The
training collar features both constant and nick
stimulation. Stimulation automatically shuts off if
the constant button is depressed for 12 seconds or
more.
The beeper function is selected with the bottom
button (“Mode”) and the top button (“Locate”) on
the side of the transmitter.
E-collar function is selected with the bottom
button (“Constant”) and the top button (“Nick”) on
the front of the transmitter.

OPERATING
To activate the beeper unit press the MODE
button on the side of the transmitter. (Note :the
ON/OFF button on the dog collar/receiver must be
activated for the beeper to operate.)
The first time you press the MODE button,
the collar will beep twice. The beeper unit will
always start in the Run/Point mode where the collar
beeps every 7.5 seconds when the dog is running
and beeps every two seconds when the dog is
stationary/on point.
To select the point mode press the MODE
button a second time. The collar will beep once.
It is now in the point mode where the beeper will
beep every two seconds when the dog is
stationary/on point and is silent when the dog is
running.
NOTE : Changing the Tone when operating in
the Run/Point or Pointing mode.
In the Run/Point or Pointing mode the tone can be
changed by pressing the Locate button when the
High/Low tone toggle switch is in the desired
position. *The unit must be activated and in the
Run/Point or Pointing mode first.

To turn the beeper unit off, press the MODE
button a third time. The unit will emit three rapid
beeps. The beeper unit is now off.
To turn the collar on, press the on/off button
on the collar and hold it down until the red
indicator light comes on (about 1 second). The
on/off switch has a built-in delay so that the
collar can not be turned off if accidentally
bumped.

INTENSITY SELECTION DIAL
The intensity selection dial is located on the
top of the transmitter.
Number (1)one is the lowest level and number
(100) one hundred is the highest level.
In the fully counter clockwise position- zero
setting- no electrical stimulation occurs even when
the constant button or the nick button is pressed
(a safety feature).
Moving the dial from the zero setting in a
clockwise manner will increase the electrical
stimulation.
Conversely, moving the dial counter-clockwise
will lower the stimulation level.
NOTE : Intensity can be increased or reduced
during actual stimulation.

OPERATING CHARGING THE BATTERY
The two-dog unit
operates just like the single-
dog unit. The difference is in the transmitter
where a toggle switch allows you to select either
collar.
The toggle switch is color-coded with black and
orange to match the black and orange collar
straps. The orange collar emits a low tone double
beep and the black collar gives a high tone single
beep so you can distinguish between dogs when
they are out of sight.
The two-dog models have a toggle switch on
the face of the transmitter located above the
“Nick” button. The toggle switch allows for
selection of either collar.
Set the toggle switch on the orange position
to select the orange collar and the black position
to select the black collar.

TWO DOG UNIT
The battery charger and charging cables
allow you to charge both the transmitter and
receiver at the same time. The battery charger is
designed for a 120-volt wall outlet. (European
230-volt AC chargers and 12-volt field charger
for your automobile are also available.)
To use the battery charger for the two-dog
unit, combine both sets of battery charging
(splitter) cables as shown. This enables you to
charge the transmitter and both receivers at the
same time.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
BATTERY CHARGING
When the batteries need recharging, the
LED light will emit a rapid, double flash every
2 seconds. If the batteries have been allowed to
run completely down, the indicator light may
not come on at all.
Be sure to turn off the collar receiver
before charging.
To charge the batteries, connect the
single side of the splitter cable to the battery
charger. Connect one side of the splitter cable
into the collar/receiver and the other side into
the transmitter. Then, plug the charger into a
household outlet. Recharge batteries for 14
hours. (See battery charging diagram.)
Both the collar receiver and transmitter
indicator light will glow continuously while
the batteries are charging.
After disconnecting the cable, close the
receptacle covers. Be sure the rubber plugs are
completely sealed over the receptacle to
prevent dirt and water from entering.
ACCUSTOMING THE DOG TO
THE BEEPER SOUND
Turn on the beeper collar and leave it outside
the dog’s kennel area for about a half-hour.
Repeat this several times, until you can see
that the dog disregards the beeper.
Next, fill the speaker horn with tissue paper
to muffle the sound. Fit the beeper collar on the
dog. Gradually, remove some of the tissue paper
as the dog becomes accustomed to the beeping
sound.
Now, when you take him hunting, he will be
accustomed to the beeper sound.
