Dogtra product. If you think that your Dogtra product is
interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or other
medical device, stop using the Dogtra product.

Transmitter Antenna
A 2” antenna is supplied with the 2300NCP
EXPANDABLE transmitter. The antenna must be fastened
to the transmitter before using the unit.
Rheostat Dial
The Rheostat Dial is located on the top of the transmitter:
(0) being the lowest level and (127) being the highest.
The LCD screen shows the intensity level during
operation.

9
LCD Screen
The LCD screen indicates the stimulation level (0-127) on
the screen. The battery life indicator shows: 3 bars = full
charge, 2 bars = medium charge, 1 bar = needs charge.
The battery life indicator only shows the remaining
charge of your transmitter. To find the remaining charge
for your receiver/collar, observe the LED indicator light
on the receiver/collar.

Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold Temperature
In cold temperatures (10°F or below), the Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) on your transmitter may be dim or slow to
respond. Wait until the display becomes visible before
selecting any training level.
Even though the LCD screen might be dim or slow to
respond, when you push the Nick or Constant button,
the transmitter will still function properly. In the
occurrence of extremely cold weather, the LCD screen
might take a moment to respond causing the intensity
level to freeze at that current level.
If you turn the Rheostat Dial, the level on the screen may
not change but the actual intensity from the receiver/
collar will change in agreement with the dial.
In this situation, it is ideal to either wait until your
transmitter is back to working order before emitting a
correction or while holding the Constant button down,
slowly turn the Rheostat Dial while watching your dog’s
reaction.
Do not turn the Rheostat Dial rapidly because the receiver/
collar will emit a static correction based on the level of
the Rheostat Dial, which might not be correctly reflected
on the LCD screen.
Attention!
When using the unit in cold temperatures, it is
recommended that the transmitter is placed under
your jacket next to your body. The warmth of your
body will greatly improve the battery life and usage.
