Ultra-eTM Remote Training Collar Overview

The Ultra-eTM is the smallest and most versatile training collar in the

world. The adjustable collar allows this unit to fit the smallest of breeds

to the largest. The collar neck size can be adjusted from 6 1/2 inches to

24 inches.

The receiver or collar of this unit is very compact and lightweight and

waterproof. It weighs approximately 4 ounces. Ultra-eTM training col-

lars allow the handler to communicate with their dog while it is off leash.

Each collar has multiple functions and features that give handlers Ultra

control to remind, reinforce and to train away unwanted behavior. The

eight adjustable stimulation levels can be changed with a push of a button

on the transmitter. This gives handlers the option to train their dogs using

the lowest electrical stimulation level possible during training sessions.

Positive Vibration and Tone-”Beep” can be used to train your dog. It is

now possible to train with no electrical stimulation at all. (See the

specific models in this manual for more detailed information on features

and functions).

the transmitter is pushed, and the collar LED is

blinking (indicating the unit is ON), but the unit

is not working.

A: The transmitter and collar frequencies are not in

synch. Try the following procedure to restore...

Trouble Shooting Questions & Answers cont.

1. Turn the collar ON by touching the magnet to the M

on the collar. You should hear a long “beep”

followed by a series of short “beeps” which indicate

the current level of intensity (i.e. 5 beeps indicates the

unit is on intensity level 5). DO NOT MOVE THE

MAGNET.

2. Keep the Magnet on the M until you hear 3 beeps

from the collar.

3. Now push one of the buttons on the Transmitter (it

does not matter which button you push).

4. You should now hear a series of 5 beeps.

5. Release the Magnet from the M.

6. Turn the unit OFF, and then turn back ON.

7. If the unit is still not working repeat steps 1-5.

Transmitter Collar/Receiver

Some Helpful Hints and Tips to Maximize Battery Life:

•Always turn the unit off after each training session. Leaving the

collar turned on, even when no buttons are being pushed on the

transmitter, still slowly drains the batteries and lessens their life.

•Check your collar before storing to ensure that the flashing

indicator light is off and not flashing.

•Whenever the collar is off of the dog’s neck make sure that the

collar is clipped together. This will help prevent the collar

magnet from accidentally touching the magnetic switch on the

receiver and turning the unit on.

•Hang your collar on a door or wall hook or a key ring rack

whenever it is not in use. This will not only prevent accidental

activation but will also give you easy access to the collar when

you need it.

•If you store your collar and transmitter in a drawer or on a shelf

or other flat surface, keep your key ring magnet separated and

away from the collar receiver to help prevent accidental

activation which can drain battery power. Check your collar

frequently when not in use or stored to ensure that it has not been

activated.

•As with any electronic device which uses replaceable

disposable type batteries it is always recommended that you keep

an extra set of batteries on hand. This will prevent any training

delays when the batteries need replaced.

We hope these tips give you longer and more enjoyable

training times with your dog!

Battery Information and Energy Saving Tips

The Ultra-eTM collar is the smallest, most innovative and

versatile dog training collar in the world. In order to make this

collar as small as possible, we designed it to be used with

replaceable/disposable batteries, instead of the larger bulkier

rechargeable type.

All Ultra-eTM collars have a flashing “on/off” indicator light

on the collar receiver. It flashes when the collar is activated or

“on” and it goes out completely when the unit is “off.” When

flashing this indicator light will use a small amount of battery

power. Leaving the collar turned on and/or attached to the

dog’s neck when not training will lessen the life of the

batteries.

The initial set of batteries provided with your Ultra-eTM collar

are for initial testing of the unit. You will need to purchase a

set of batteries before starting regular training.

The collar receiver uses a 6 volt battery. Using a 6 volt

lithium battery instead of the alkaline type will increase usage

times. These usage times are completely dependant upon

which stimulation type is used, the length and frequency of

stimulation, and the intensity level on which the unit is set.

Therefore, results will vary for each user.

The transmitter utilizes two 3 volt watch style batteries, and

only uses battery power when the function buttons are pushed.

As with the transmitter, battery life is dependant upon usage

and will vary from user to user. Should you notice that the

range of the collar is getting shorter or if the “Nick”

stimulation goes to continuous stimulation it is time to change

the transmitter batteries.

How to Change the Battery—Collar

Step 1 : Unscrew A and B

Step 2 : Replace 6 Volt battery as shown below.

Note: Watch “+” “-” while installing. If battery is installed

backward it may cause the unit to operate in Vibration mode

only.

How to Change the Battery–Transmitter

Step 1 : Unscrew C

Step 2 : Replace both 3 Volt watch style batteries as shown

below.

When screwing in the electrodes, tighten by hand only.

Hand tightening will allow the electrodes to vibrate for maximum stimulation. Do not

use a wrench.

Adjusting and Positioning Your Collar for Proper Fit

Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safety and

correct functioning every time you use the collar.

•All electronic collars need to be very snug to work properly. They must be just tight

enough to allow the “prongs” or electrodes to make good skin contact.

•If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly because good skin

contact is not being achieved. This can directly affect the stimulation performance and

whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation. Always check for good “prong”

contact if it appears that your dog is not responding to the stimulation.

•A loose collar can promote skin irritation from moving or rubbing too much on a dog’s

neck while they are running or training. The proper snug fit will help prevent this from

occurring.

•Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be just tight enough on the dog’s neck to

make good skin contact and allow the dog to breath normally. The collar should never

be so tight on the dog’s neck that it restricts the dog’s normal breathing pattern.

•For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it should be placed on the center of

the dog’s neck. (see below).

•For how to adjust the collar strap see picture below.

CAUTION

The proper set of electrodes you

should use is determined by

which set is long enough to

make good contact with the

dog’s skin. Good contact is

essential for the proper

operation of the unit.

Choosing the correct electrodes

Proper collar tightness is ex-

tremely important. If the collar

is too loose, it will not function

properly, and if the collar is too

tight, the dog will have diffi-

culty breathing.

To adjust the tightness & position of the collar

Turning the Unit On and Off

Changing the Intensity Level

Turning ON

To turn on the unit you can use either the key ring magnet or the

magnet in the collar clasp. Hold one of the magnets directly up

against the small letter “M” on the front of the Collar/Receiver. You

will hear a long two-second beep immediately followed by a series of

quick beeps. (The number of beeps indicates which intensity level the

unit is set on). Do not move the magnet until the long beep stops.

You will see a small red light flashing beside the letter “M”. The unit

is now on. (This flashing red light indicates that the unit is ON and

not that the battery is low).

Turning OFF

To turn the unit off, you simply reverse the procedure. Hold one of

the magnets directly up against the small letter “M” on the front of the

Collar/Receiver. You will hear a long two-second beep immediately

followed by a shorter beep. Do not move the magnet until the long

beep stops. The small red light is no longer flashing. The unit is now

off.

Once the unit is in ON mode (the small red light is flashing), you can

change the Intensity Level by pressing Button IV on the

transmitter. The Collar/Receiver unit will emit a series of quick beeps

to indicate the level. For instance if the unit is on level 3 you will

hear 3 beeps, if the unit is on level 8 you will hear 8 beeps. There are

eight levels. After level Eight the unit will cycle back to level One.

Note

To increase battery life, your Ultra-eTM has been equipped with an

automatic three hour shut off. (If no buttons are pressed on the

transmitter, the collar will shout off in three hours).

Introducing Your Dog to the Collar

•Introducing your dog to the collar should be a very positive

experience, Like anything new a dog must get used to the

different feel of the collar.

•We recommend when first introducing the collar that you

don’t even turn it on and leave the transmitter in the box. The

first day keep your walking collar on the dog and hook up a

leash. Put your new Ultra-eTM collar on the dog and go for a

walk. Most dogs like to go for a walk on the leash. Let you

dog get used to the feel of the new collar.

Remember the unit is not active. Praise the dog as you walk.

Pet them with your hand and make the collar wearing

experience positive.

•The second day, again put the collar on the dog in the off

position and play fetch in your back yard. Do all the

normal things you do with your dog during playtime.

Introduce some training commands without following

through if the dog disobeys. Keep this collar experience

positive.

•The third day put your dog on a leash again. Put the

activated Ultra-eTM collar on the dog. This time bring the

transmitter. Practice your training commands this time

introducing the lowest possible stimulation level to the dog to

correct the behavior. Every dog has a different tolerance

level to stimulation. Watch for signs that your dog feels the

stimulation. Some signs are slight ear, head or tail

movements. Increase the levels gradually until the dog

responds consistently to the command.

NOTE

Even at low levels, dogs may yelp when stimulation is introduced

because it surprises them or it startles them and not because it is

hurting them. Do not make the mistake of rushing up and petting or

hugging the dog because you think that you hurt them. If you do this

the dog will learn that every time they feel the tingle they just have to

yelp and the tingle will stop and you will hug and pet them. At low

levels the dog feels a tickle. This tickle is the negative response that

the dog will associate with needing to make the correction. Low level

stimulation is a more effective way to train a dog. Low level stimula-

tion is less painful than tugging on a choke chain or leash, swatting

with a newspaper, spanking with your hand or yelling at your dog.

When done properly, low level stimulation training is more humane,

effective and mentally, a better way to train your dog. For more

information on how to train with electronic collars consult a

professional trainer or buy a “how to train” video or book on this

subject from your local pet or sporting goods retailer.

CAUTION

Never attach a leash or tie-out to the electronic training collar. This can

cause excessive rubbing of the electrodes on the dog’s neck which

could create chafing, rash, hair loss or even sores on the dog’s neck.

To help prevent neck chafing, your collar should be snug on the dog’s

neck with the electrodes making good skin contact. If your collar is too

tight you can affect the breathing of the dog. If your collar too loose

this will promote chafing. Always remove the collar after each training

session. The collar should not be worn for more than twelve

continuous hours without removing or repositioning on the dog’s neck.

Always remove your collar and let the dog’s neck rest. Some dogs

have sensitive skin. Should signs of irritation, redness, sores or chafing

appear on the skin, remove collar and do not use until the skin had

completely cleared up.
