PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS
Proper e-collar use
Dogtra 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
Dogtra 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 (garage door openers, pacemakers, 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.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS

The Rheostat Intensity Dial is located on the top of
the transmitter: (0) being the lowest level and (127)

(0-127) for Regular or (0-L63) for Mild on the screen.
The LCD battery life indicator shows 3 bars at full

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold Temperature
In cold temperatures (10 degrees 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. In this situation, if you turn the Rheostat
Intensity Dial, and the intensity level on the screen
does not increase, yet you emit an electrical
stimulation, the level will be in agreement with the
new changed intensity level.
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 Intensity Dial while
watching your dog’s reaction. Do not turn the
Rheostat Intensity Dial at a rapid increase because
the receiver/collar will emit a static correction based
on the level of the Rheostat Intensity Dial, which
might not be correctly reflected on the LCD screen.

14
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Transmitter Indicator Light (LED Window)
The transmitter LED indicator light is located near
the Rheostat Intensity Dial. It will flash every
4 seconds when the transmitter has been turned on.
The color of the light indicates the status of battery
life. It flashes green when the battery is fully charged
and turns to amber when the battery is at medium
charge. It is acceptable to charge your unit even at
medium charge without any damage incurred to your
collar. When the transmitter indicator emits a
blinking red light, the battery needs to be recharged.
(Green = full charge, Amber = medium charge,
Red = needs charge)

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
Transmitter Battery Charging Receptacle &
Rubber Plug
Located on the backside of the transmitter, the
charging receptacle is covered by a rubber plug.
Insert one end of the battery charging cable into the
receptacle to charge the battery (See Battery
Charging Procedure on page 30).
After charging is completed, close the receptacle
with its rubber plug to make sure dirt or water does
not get inside.
