LEUCHTIE®Plus
for alkaline batteries type AAA/micro
Activation process
Before using the LEUCHTIE for the first time please remove the transport protection (insulation cap).
It is the red stopper located at the opposite sideof the size sticker.
Opening:
1. Separate the tube from the battery
pack by pulling them apart with a slight
angular movement, taking care not to
use excessive force (1).
In doing so, hold the silicone sleeve
onto the battery compartment.
2. Remove the red insulation cap (2)
and discard.
Fix the attachment loop:
3. In order to secure the LEUCHTIE to
a collar or harness with the enclosed
fixation loop, pull the open end of the
tube through both transparent rubber
rings of the loop (3).
Closing:
4. Insert both ends of the tube one after
the other straight into the battery com-
partment. Be careful not to bend the
contact springs.
5. Press the battery pack and the tube
firmly together on both sides as far
as it can go, until they are closed
properly.
IMPORTANT: There must be no gap
between the battery pack and the tube
(see also figures page 3).

Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
Simply slip the LEUCHTIE over the dog’s head
and it will turn on automatically thanks to a sensor
as soon as the battery pack is facing downwards.
When the battery pack faces upwards the LEUCHTIE
will turn off after approx. one minute. Therefore,
suspend the LEUCHTIE e.g. on a hook for storage.
Battery change
•The operating time using 2 alkaline batteries type AAA / Micro is about 100 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 boththe LEUCHTIE and your hands
are dry and free of grease.
1. Disconnect both ends of the light tube from the battery pack one after the other, as explained in
the activation on page 1/ opening.
2. Remove both empty batteries.
3. Insert the 2 new batteries (alkaline type AAA/Micro, no rechargeable batteries) into the battery
compartment so that
•on one side the
negative terminal
•on the other side the
positive terminal
is visible.
4. There is a red and a blue
marker in the sockets at the
ends of the light tube.
Connect the light tube with the battery compartment as follows:
•the blue end of the tube with the negative terminal
•the red end of the tube with the positive terminal
For correct assembly, follow the procedure described on page 1/ closing.
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 and the correct attachment of the battery pack.
Please also note the information on page 3.

Correct connection of battery compartment and light tube
Please always ensure a correct connection between battery part and light tube. Otherwise the connec-
tion may open too easily or loose contacts may occur.
Assemble the LEUCHTIE correctly:
The silicone sleeves are located on both sides centrally on
the transition from battery part to light tube and do not show
any defects.
A) The LEUCHTIE is completely closed up to the stop:
there is no gap between the light tube and the battery
compartment.
B) The sleeve end with the annular bead sits on the
battery pack on both sides.
Possible sources of error
LEUCHTIE is not completely closed:
•The light tube is not completelyinserted into
the battery compartment:
A gap can be seen between the light tube
and the battery pack.
Incorrectly attached silicone sleeves:
•The sleeve is not pulled all the way to the
stop on the battery part, it sits too far on the
light tube.
•The sleeve is pulled beyond the stop of the
battery part - it sits too far on the battery
compartment.
•The sleeve is attached the wrong way
round. The sleeve end with the ring bead
must sit on the battery compartment.

Kinked battery compartment:
•The edge of the battery compartment was
accidentally kinked when the light tube
was inserted into the battery compartment.
•As a result, the light tube cannot be inserted
completely into the battery part up to the stop.
•In comparison, a correctly seated battery
compartment with the sleeve attached.
Bent or loose contact springs:
•The springs protruding from the ends of the
light tube on bothsides must be firmly screwed
into the nut and must not be bent or kinked.
•Defective contact springs can easily be
replaced if necessary.

Safety information LEUCHTIE®Plus
•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 and other parts to fall out and get lost.
•LEUCHTIE is not a dog toy!
The LEUCHTIE can be damaged and might open if it is used too heavily (e.g. throwing or vigorous
biting). In this case, small parts such as batteries, contact springs, etc. can fall out and be lost or
even swallowed by the dog, which may lead to serious injuries. If this happens please
immediately contact a veterinarian, who can take the appropriate measures if necessary.
•Do not use the LEUCHTIE if malfunction or damage is apparent. We do not assume any liability
for further damages 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 a
slight angular movement (see figures 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.
•Swallowing the batteries can be fatal! For this reason, please keep both the batteries and the
product out of reach of small children (and your dog). In case a battery is swallowed, please seek
medical/veterinary assistance immediately.
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 silicone sleeves are
closed properly to prevent humidity from entering.
