Operating instructions
LEUCHTIE®Mini
with motion sensor
for small dogs
Initial start-up
To prevent your LEUCHTIE Mini from
switching on during transport, one of the
batteries has been inserted upside down as
a transport lock. For the initial start-up this
battery must be turned around.
Turning the battery
•Separate the tube at the side of the
size sticker from the battery
compartment with a slight twisting
movement, taking care not to use
excessive force.
•Remove the battery from the light tube
and turn it around.
•Insert the battery into the light tube with
the negative pole ahead.
•In order to secure the LEUCHTIE to the
collar / harness with the enclosed
fixation loop, pull the open end of the
tube through both transparent rubber
rings of the loop (see figure).
•Push the battery compartment back
into the end of the tube and press them
firmly together as far as it can go.
Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
Simply slip the LEUCHTIE over the dog’s
head and it will turn on automatically by
sensor as soon as the battery compartment
points downwards and the LEUCHTIE is in
motion.
When the battery compartment faces
upwards, the LEUCHTIE slowly switches off
after approx. 1 minute. Therefore, suspend
the LEUCHTIE e.g. on a hook for storage.
OFF ON

Battery change
•The operating time using 2 alkaline batteries type AAAA / LR 61 is about 50 hours.
•Please use brand alkaline batteries and remove both empty batteries immediately to avoid
damage from leaking batteries.
•Please remove both batteries in case of longer disuse (e. g. in the summer).
Replace both batteries immediately if the brightness of the LEDs decreases significantly or if the
LEUCHTIE turns off shortly after switching on.
Change the batteries in a dry and clean place and make sure that both the LEUCHTIE and your
hands are dry and free of grease.
Exchange of batteries
1. Disconnect both ends of the light tube from the battery
compartment one after the other, as explained in the initial
start-up on page 1.
2. Remove both empty batteries from the ends of the light
tube.
3. Insert 2 new batteries (alkaline type AAAA / LR 61, no
rechargeable batteries):
•into the side of the light tube with LEUCHTIE size
sticker with the negative pol ahead
•into the side of the light tube without size sticker with
the positive pole ahead
4. For correct assembly, follow the procedure for closing
the LEUCHTIE described on page 1.
5. Test the function by tilting the LEUCHTIE so that it turns on. If the LEUCHTIE does not work, check
the correct position of the batteries andthe correct attachment of the batterycompartment and note
also the information on page 3.

Troubleshooting
If your LEUCHTIE is not working correctly, check the following:
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Loose contact
The spring in the battery
compartment isn’t
centered.
Pull off the battery compartment from the light tube
with a slight twisting motion and put the spring into
the right position (centred in the battery
compartment), then reassemble. Put some contact
spray on the battery poles.
Dirty connections
Put some contact spray on battery poles and spring
tips.
No function
Batteries are inserted
incorrectly
Insert the batteries correctly as described onpage 2.
Batteries are empty -
your LEUCHTIE may
have been stored
incorrectly and remained
lit for an extended
period.
Both batteries must be replaced immediately to
avoid damage from leaking batteries –see battery
change (page 2)

Safety information
•Please use the LEUCHTIE only for its designated purpose.
•Do not attach a lead to the LEUCHTIE and avoid holding your dog by the LEUCHTIE. Too much
force on the LEUCHTIE could cause the batteries, springs and other parts to fall out and get lost.
•LEUCHTIE is not a toy!
Your LEUCHTIE can be damaged by excessive stress (e.g. by throwing or biting hard) and may
open under certain circumstances. Small parts such as batteries, contact springs, etc. can fall out
and get lost.
Swallowing small parts can be life-threatening! Therefore, keep both your LEUCHTIE as well as
the accessories (e.g. the magnet and the attachment loop) out of the reach of your dog and small
children. If parts have been swallowed, medical assistance should be sought immediately.
•Do not use the LEUCHTIE if malfunction or damage is apparent. We accept no liability for any
further damage or loss.
•Make sure that no humidity gets inside the LEUCHTIE –especially when cleaning it or changing
the batteries. When fully closed, the LEUCHTIE is protected against water and humidity very well.
Should you notice humidity inside the LEUCHTIE, pull the tube and the battery pack apart with
slight angular movements (see figure page 1) and let both parts dry completely. Avoid temperatures
above 50°C.
•Do not dry or heat the LEUCHTIE in the microwave under any circumstances - the microwave
radiation would destroy the electronics immediately.
•Do not charge or otherwise reactivate, disassemble, heat or short-circuit the supplied batteries.
Cleaning
Clean the LEUCHTIE in warm water and soap or mild detergent if required. Do not use aggressive or
solvent-based cleaners. When cleaning the LEUCHTIE, please ensure that the LEUCHTIE is closed
properly to prevent humidity from entering.
