First start up/ activating
One of the batteries was put in the wrong
way round as a transport lock in order to
avoid that the LEUCHTIE switches on
during the delivery.
This battery must be turned around for the
initial activation.
▪Pull off the tube’s end which has the
LEUCHTIE brand label on it from
the angle by gently turning it.
▪Remove the battery from the light
collar and turn it around.
▪Push the battery facing the
negative end towards the
LEUCHTIE in the light collar.
▪In order to secure the LEUCHTIE to
the collar with the enclosed fixation
loop, pull the end of the open tube
through both transparent rubber
rings of the loop (see figure).
▪Put the tube on the angle again.
Switching on and off
LEUCHTIE is easily pulled over the dogs
head and switches on automatically, if the
battery compartment is hanging down.
LEUCHTIE switches off itself after 1-2
minutes if the battery compartment is
hanging up, for example on a wardrobe.
OFF ON
Battery change

- The operating time using 2 Alkaline batteries type AAAA / LR 61 is about 50 hours.
- Please use batteries of the brand Alkaline!
- Please remove both empty batteries immediately!
- Please remove both batteries in case of longer disuse (e. g. in the summer).
If your LEUCHTIE begins to lose its brightness, or if it switches itself off shortly after switching on, the
batteries are exhausted and need immediate replacing.
Replace the batteries in a clean, dry place and make sure that the LEUCHTIE is also clean and dry.
Always replace both batteries at the same time.
Your hands and the LEUCHTIE should be grease-free.
Exchange of batteries
▪Pull the light tube and the angle apart while twisting
the joint slightly.
▪Remove the both old batteries from the ends of the
tube (use pliers if necessary).
▪Place the new batteries into the light tube while
observing the correct polarity as per illustration:
The side with the LEUCHTIE label goes with the
negative pole of the battery ahead and the side
without the label goes with the positive pole ahead
into the light tube.
▪Push the angle back into the ends of the tube. Take
care that the spring clip is centred in the angle.
▪Test that the LEUCHTIE is working by pointing the
battery compartment down.
If LEUCHTIE is not working, please read information on page 3.
Do not recharge, dismantle, heat or hot-wire the batteries provided.
Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep all batteries in a safe place, unaccessible to children and
