CAUTION - If the collar belt is too long, we recommend
looping the excess strap back around through the buckle.
We DO NOT recommend cutting the collar belt. Cutting
the collar belt too short can drastically reduce the range of
your collar unit. However, the collar belt can be cut up
to about 3-4 inches without affecting the range too
much.
NOTE - The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into
the charging receptacle. However, if water should get in,
we recommend rinsing out the charging receptacle and
allowing it to dry, especially after use in salt water. This
will prevent premature corrosion in the metal pins inside
that make contact with the charger plug.
Battery Charging Receptacles - The charger cable
plugs into the Charging Receptacle for recharging
(located on the side of the Collar Receiver facing the
dog’s neck). After charging, always close the Charg-
ing Receptacle with the rubber plug to prevent
foreign particles from getting inside the unit.
COLLAR UNIT PARTS & FUNCTIONS
Collar Belt with MAXX-Range™ 360 Antenna - The
embedded MAXX-Range™ Antenna is woven into
the collar belt and runs along the entire length of the
belt, providing extended range without the drawback
of an external antenna. Because it wraps around the
neck along with the collar belt, the MAXX-Range
Antenna provides 360 degrees of signal reception
and is not blocked by your dog’s body, regardless of
which direction your dog is facing.

SmartLED
**Charging Error - If the SmartLED has a long blink every other
second while charging, the rechargeable battery pack may need
to be replaced. New batteries may also initially give an error
light. Contact D.T. Systems if the problem persists after a few
charging sessions.
K9 700 collar units are equipped with the SmartLED battery
status system. The SmartLED system lets you know when the
unit is charging and when the charging is complete. It also gives
you a status on how much charge is remaining in the battery
during use, when it needs charging, and when the batteries will
need to be replaced.

any of the Transmitter buttons. The LED flashes rapidly after
pressing a button if the battery is low.

13
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The K9 700 collar unit is equipped with rechargeable
Quick Charge Lithium (Li-Poly) batteries, which are
not memory sensitive and do not require depletion
before recharging. Although batteries come partially
charged from the factory, it is recommended that
they are given a full charge (about 2-3 hours) before
initial use.
NOTE
Rechargeable Lithium batteries typically last around 3
years or less depending on use and care. Keep batteries
away from flammable substances. See page 19 for more
information on battery maintenance.
Collar Battery Charging Procedure
1. Make sure the collar unit is off.
2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet
and connect charger into collar unit. The
SmartLED should light solid red while charging.*
3. Charging is complete when the SmartLED turns
green (may take from 2.5 to 5 hours).
4. As soon as charging is complete, disconnect the
battery charging cable from the receptacle, se-
curely replace the rubber receptacle cover, and
test unit.
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE WHILE UNIT IS WET!

14
TURNING ON/OFF
The Transmitter is always in a permanent sleep state. It is
only ON when a button is being pressed and does not
need to be turned off by the user. If the Transmitter does
not activate, make sure you have a good battery installed.
Turning the Collar Unit ON/OFF:
Turning the Collar Unit ON and OFF uses the same
procedure:
1. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (red dot)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch
(small bump) on the side of the Collar Unit.
2. The SmartLED Indicator will light solid for a
second and then start flashing. Remove the
Transmitter from the Collar Unit when the
SmartLED light begins to flash.
If the Collar Unit has been turned ON, the SmartLED will
flash approximately every other second. If the Collar Unit
has been turned OFF, the SmartLED will no longer be
flashing.
NOTE
If the LED on the Transmitter flashes red rapidly after any
button is pressed, the 9V battery will need to be replaced.
If the SmartLED on the Collar Unit double-flashes red
every other second while ON, the unit will need to be re-
charged. If this happens soon after a full charging ses-
sion, the rechargeable batteries in the Collar Unit may
need to be replaced.
NOTE: If the collar unit is not responding to any signals
from the transmitter, the collar may need to be repro-
grammed to the transmitter (see page 16).

15
To Test the Electronic Stimulation:
1. Place the tester firmly on the contacts of
the Collar Receiver.
2. Set the intensity (note - an intensity level
setting of 4 or less might not be enough
to light the tester).
3. Push the N or C button.
4. The tester light will quickly flash once
when the N (Nick) button is pushed and light repeatedly
when the C (Continuous) button is pushed (the test light
will be brighter at higher intensity levels).
To Test the Vibration:
Press V button on the transmitter and the collar unit
will vibrate only.
Before testing, make sure that both units are fully
charged and the power to the Collar Receiver is “ON”.
Programming JUMP Levels & Testing Unit
SETTING THE JUMP LEVEL
1. Press and hold Button Jump button.
2. While holding Jump button, turn Intensity Dial to de-
sired Jump stimulation level. The LED will start flashing
to indicate that you are programming the Jump stimula-
tion level
3. Release Jump button. The LED will flash the number
of the new Jump level to confirm successful Jump level
programming. The Jump intensity setting will stay at
this level until a different Jump level is programmed.
Changing your normal intensity level will not affect the
Jump setting. When applying Jump stimulation, intensi-
ty level will return to its normal setting when the Jump
button is released.

16
PROGRAMMING THE COLLAR
If your current collar unit is not responding to the
transmitter, it may also need to be reprogrammed
to the transmitter.
1. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (red dot)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch (small
bump) on the side of the Collar Unit.
2. The SmartLED light inside the Collar Unit will light
up solid for about 1 second, followed by 6 flashes.
You must keep the Transmitter next to the Collar Unit
during this time.
3. Continue to hold the Transmitter against the
Collar Unit until the SmartLED light stays on solid.
The Collar Unit is now in the Code Running Mode
(the SmartLED light will stay lit for approximately 8
seconds while it is in this mode).
4. Remove the Transmitter from the Collar Unit and
press the ‘N’ and ‘C’ buttons (front two buttons)
simultaneously while it is in the Code Running Mode.
5. When the SmartLED blinks 3 times, the Collar ID
is programmed and the Collar Unit is now ON.
NOTE – Do not move the Transmitter Magnet Indicator
from the Collar Unit Magnetic Activation Switch until
after the SmartLED stops flashing and stays on solid
or the Collar Unit will not go into the Code Running
Mode. You must press the ‘N’ and ‘C’ buttons
simultaneously while the SmartLED is lit solid.

17
PROPERLY FITTING THE COLLAR
NOTE: Proper collar tightness
and position are very important
to insure safe and consistent
collar use.
All electronic collars need to be very snug around the
dog’s neck to work properly. They must be just tight
enough to allow the “contacts” or electrodes to make good
contact on your dog’s skin. If the collar is too loose, the
stimulation may not work properly because good/
consistent skin contact is not being achieved. This can
directly affect the performance of the collar unit and
whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation. Always
check for good contact to the skin if it appears that your
dog is not responding to the stimulation. A loose collar
can also result in skin irritations from moving or rubbing
too much against your dog’s neck while they are running
or training. A proper fit will help prevent this from
occurring.
· Place the collar unit high and tight on your dog’s neck
with the collar receiver box centered below the neck.
Placing it at the wider base of the neck can let it travel
up to the narrower part of the neck while your dog is
moving, loosening as it goes.
· It should be tight enough to fit two fingers between the
collar belt and your dog’s neck, but not tight enough to
restrict your dog’s breathing.

18
SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
It is very important to set the correct intensity level on
your K9 700. Training System before beginning your
training sessions to provide the proper level of
stimulation without over-stimulating your dog.
1. Place the Intensity Selection dial so that the
system is set on Level 1.
2. Turn on the Collar Receiver and then fit it properly
around your dog’s neck.
3. Press the ‘C’ button and check for a reaction.
Indications of your dog feeling the stimulation
include confusion on it’s face, ears perking up,
changes in tail movements, etc.
4. If there are no signs of your dog feeling the
stimulation, increase the Intensity Level in
increments of one until your dog reacts to the
stimulation.
5. At this point, increase the Intensity Level by one or
two. This should be your dog’s ideal training level.
NOTE
Some dogs may require more or less stimulation depend-
ing upon their individual temperament and/or size.

19
MAINTENANCE
It is very important to periodically clean your K9 700
system for maximum performance. Regular cleaning
will also lengthen the life of your unit.
· Clean the collar box, belt and buckle with
lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap.
· Thoroughly clean the space between the
electrodes and the belt.
· Always allow the entire unit to completely dry
before charging/using.
NOTE - The Collar Unit should be rinsed with fresh, clean
water after use in wet conditions, especially salt water.
Battery Maintenance
To get the maximum performance and life out of your
rechargeable batteries:
· Remove the unit from the charger as soon as the
SmartLED turns green during a charging session.
· It is recommended not to leave your unit charging for
more than 12 hours at a time.
When storing your unit for extended periods of time:
· Remove the 9V battery from the Transmitter.
· Do not store your Collar Unit with depleted batteries.
· Fully charge and test your unit about once a month.
· Do not store your unit in extreme temperatures.
· Store your unit in a dry environment.
CAUTION
Dispose of batteries properly by calling your local
waste service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
· Before training with this unit, your dog’s health
should be examined by a veterinarian.
· Do not use with aggressive-tempered dogs.
· Your K9 700 collar is a very valuable tool if used
correctly. It is extremely important that you
completely understand all the functions of the collar
and how to properly train with it before placing it on
your dog.
· Test your system before placing the collar unit on
your dog(s) to help prevent possible interruptions
and inconsistencies during training and field time.
· Never leave your dog unattended with the unit
on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a
very slight possibility that your dog may receive an
unintentional electric stimulation.
· To prevent neck irritations, the collar should
never be worn for more than 12 hours a day.
Changing the collar location on the dog’s neck daily
will also help prevent irritations. It is recommended
to reposition the collar every 1-2 hours of use.
· It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the
electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacterial soap.
· If an irritation is found, carefully wash the dog’s
neck with soap and water and then wipe the area
with Hydrogen peroxide. Dry thoroughly and apply
an antibiotic ointment. If condition persists beyond
48 hours, please consult a veterinarian.
