INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing our
RedHead RH Pro 1000 Training Collar with “Add-
On” capability, allowing the unit to expand up to a
3-dog unit.
The RH Pro 1000 features a 1,000 yard range
made possible by our exclusive MAXX-Range 360
technology to ensure positive FM signal reception,
no matter the terrain.
The RH Pro 1000 also boasts full waterproof
capabilities of the Collar and the Transmitter.
The Collar unit has rechargeable NiMH batteries
with our SmartLED light that lets you know when
charging is complete and how much charge is left
during use.
The Gentle Touch feature (with 16 levels of Nick
and Continuous stimulation) easily adjusts at your
fingertips and always ensures the proper setting for
your dog's unique personality.
Our Vibration Assist lends a helping hand in the
form of an audible vibration emitted from the collar
to aid in training for a no-shock alternative stimulus.
The new RedHead RH Pro 1000 is the result of
over 30 years of experience researching,
producing, and field testing the best E-collars in the

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 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 allow-
ing it to dry, especially after use in salt water. This will pre-
vent premature corrosion in the metal pins inside that make
contact with the charger plug.
Battery Charging Receptacles - The charger cables
plug 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.
R.A.P.T. Series 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.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The RH Pro 1000 collar unit is equipped with
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) 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 12 hours)
before initial use.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. Plug the charger into a
standard electrical outlet.
3. Connect the Triple-Jack Cable to the end of the
charger and plug one of the ends into the collar unit.
Up to 3 Collar Units can be charged simultaneously
with the Triple-Jack Cable. The SmartLED should
light solid red while charging.
4. Charging is complete when the SmartLED turns
green (may take up to 12 hours).
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the battery
charging cables from the receptacles, securely
replace the rubber battery receptacle covers, and
test unit (see page 15).
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE WHI E UNIT IS WET!
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on
average depending on use and care. Keep batteries away
from flammable substances. See page 19 for more infor-
mation on battery maintenance.

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 V 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 recharged.
If this happens soon after a full charging session, the re-
chargeable batteries in the Collar Unit may need to be re-
placed.

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:
1. 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”.
TESTING
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 1 ).

16
PROGRAMMING THE COLLAR
When adding an “Add-On” collar, the collar will need to
be programmed to the transmitter. If your current collar
unit is not responding to the transmitter, it may also
need to be reprogrammed to the transmitter.
1. Select the desired Collar Selector Dial position on
the transmitter.
2. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (red dot)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch (small
bump) on the side of the Collar Unit.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. Remove the Transmitter from the Collar Unit and
press the ‘N’ and ‘C’ buttons simultaneously while it is
in the Code Running Mode.
6. 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.
ou must press the ‘N’ and ‘C’ buttons simultaneously
while the SmartLED is lit solid.

17
PROPERL 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 INTENSIT LEVEL
It is very important to set the correct intensity level on
your RH Pro 1000. 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 depending
upon their individual temperament and/or size.

MAINTENANCE
It is very important to periodically clean your RH Pro
1000 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 V 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

IMPORTANT SAFET NOTES
• Before training with this unit, your dog’s health
should be examined by a veterinarian.
• Do not use with aggressive-tempered dogs.
•
••
• Your RH Pro 1000 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.
