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

top of the transmitter: (0) being the lowest level
and (127) being the highest while in the Regular
Mode.
While in the Mild Mode, your level options
will be (0) being the lowest, and (L63) being the

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS
LCD Screen
The LCD screen indicates the stimulation
level (0-127) for Regular or (0-L63) for Mild on
the screen.
The LCD battery life indicator shows 3 bars
at full charge, 2 bars at medium charge and 1 bar
when it needs to be charged. The battery life

for your receiver, observe the LED screen on the
collar/receiver.

charged, Amber color = medium charge,
Red color = needs charge).

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 collar/receiver
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.
