Charging the Batteries
The indicator light will turn solid red during the 10 to 12 hour
charge cycle and stay red even though the unit is fully charged.
•
Battery Care:
It is important to fully charge the batteries and fully discharge them for
the first three uses. After that it is not necessary to fully discharge the
batteries with each use, because NiMH do not exhibit “memory effect”
like other rechargeable battery types. It is recommended that every six
months you recondition the batteries by fully discharging them and then
fully charging them, this will ensure you get the rated 500 charges per
battery.

CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL OF STIMULATION
Rotating clockwise increases the
stimulation level and conversely,
rotating counter-clockwise lowers
the stimulation level.
It is highly recommended that the user practices changing levels and
modes before putting the collar receiver on the dog.
Setting the correct stimulation level for your dog is very important. To
set your “conditioning” stimulation level, put the collar receiver (see
page 22 for proper fitting technique) on your dog. Let him/her get
used to the collar receiver for a couple of hours. While watching your
dog, turn the level to “0” and press the stimulation button (1D/2D).
Slowly turn the stimulation up at a rate of approximately 2-3 levels
per second. When your dog first perceives the stimulation, usually
between 15 and 40, release the button. This is your “conditioning”
stimulation level. You may need to add a few levels later as your dog
becomes more conditioned to the stimulation. The “conditioning”
stimulation is used when the trainer wants to use the stimulation in
continuous mode.
Changing the Intensity Level of Stimulation

Einstein Owner's Manual ET-1202A
CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL OF STIMULATION
For example, if you want your dog to come to you and heel, you can
hold the button down until your dog comes and heels or if jumping is
an issue, you can hold the button down anytime their front paws are
off the ground. Your dog will learn that he/she controls the stimulation.
Setting the “Corrective” stimulation level is a little more difficult due
to the wide differences in temperaments and stimulation tolerance
among the many breeds of dogs. On average, it is normally 20 to 40
levels higher than the “Conditioning” level. This higher level will only
be used in “Momentary” mode as not to over-stimulate your dog.
This mode is used for stopping unwanted behaviors such
as chewing, digging, street-running, excessive barking, and
aggressiveness, etc. It is important to apply the “Momentary” stimulus
at the exact time of the unwanted behavior. Additional pulses may
be used to reinforce the command if compliance is not immediate.
A treat is recommended after compliance. If a treat is not available,
verbal positive reinforcement is acceptable.

CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL OF STIMULATION
IMPORTANT TRAINING TIP
E-Collars should be used to reinforce commands your dog already
knows. It is not a replacement for basic leash obedience training, but
a tool to allow you to better communicate to your dog.
For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to get
compliance from your dog. A calm and consistent approach to
training will always produce better long term results. It is highly
recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer
for evaluation before e-collar use.
There are many different e-collar training techniques recommended
by a variety of professional trainers. We beleive you, the owner of the
dog, can best determine the most successful technique for your dog.
YouTube has many videos demonstrating these varying techniques
by simply searching "e-collar training" or "remote dog training
techniques".
Good Luck with your training!
