First start up/ activating
Before you use the LEUCHTIE for the first time, you must remove the battery isolating cap.
(Transport lock)
•The isolation cap is fixed on the side
opposite the LEUCHTIE sticker.
•Roll back the silicon sleeve (1) in the
direction of the battery com-
partment until the joint is free. Your
hands should be grease-free.
(Optionally dust with flour lightly
before starting!)
•Pull the light tube and the battery pack
apart while twisting the joint slightly,
taking care not to use excessive force.
Remove the red isolating cap (2).
•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).
•Mind not to bend the protruding con-
tacts out of shape in the process.
•Push the light tube back into the battery compartment as far as possible and roll the silicon
sleeve back centred over the joint.
Switching on the LEUCHTIE
LEUCHTIE switches on automatically, if the battery compartment is hanging down or the LEUCHTIE
is moved or shaken. Simply pull the LEUCHTIE over the dog’s head and it will switch on automati-
cally when the batteries are hanging in the lowermost position. Since the batteries are the heaviest
part they will always remain hanging down keeping the light on.
Switching off the LEUCHTIE
LEUCHTIE switches off itself after 1-2 minutes if the battery compartment is hanging up. Keep
LEUCHTIE hanging with the battery compartment on top (for example on a wardrobe).

Battery change
LEUCHTIE Premium also suits for the use of rechargeable batteries, but is basically delivered
with Alkaline batteries which aren’t rechargeable
.
When the LEDs starts to flash, the batteries are used and both empty batteries need to be re-
moved immediately!
The operating time using 2 Alkaline batteries type AAA / Micro is about 20 hours.
Please use batteries of the brand Alkaline!
Please remove both batteries in case of longer disuse (e. g. in the summer).
The operating time using rechargeable batteries depends on their capacity.
Replace the batteries in a clean, dry place and make sure that the LEUCHTIE is also clean and
dry.
Your hands and the LEUCHTIE should be grease-free. (Optionally lightly dust your hands and the
tube with flour before starting!)
1. Roll back the silicon sleeves onto
the battery compartment until
the joints are free.
2. Pull the light tube and the battery
pack apart while twisting the
joint slightly, taking care not to
use excessive force. Remove the
both old batteries.
3. Place the new batteries (Alkaline
Type AAA/Micro or
rechargeable batteries) into the
compartment while observing the correct polarity as per illustration.
4. Reassemble the light tube and the battery compartment as follows:
Connect the negative end of the pack to the side with the label ring on it, the positive end
to the other side. Watch out for the contact springs being placed in the correct position! They
should press on the batteries centred.
5. Test that the LEUCHTIE is working by pointing the battery compartment down.
6. If LEUCHTIE is not working, please read information on page 3.
Once LEUCHTIE is working, push the joints together as far as possible (the transparent synthetic
plug socket must disappear completely) and roll back the silicon sleeves centered over the joints.
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
dogs. If a battery is swallowed seek medical assistance from your vet or doctor immediately.
Dispose of used batteries responsibly and in accordance with your local recycling regulations.

Troubleshooting
If your LEUCHTIE is not working correctly, check the following:
Problem Possible cause Solution
Loose contact The contact between
the batteries and the
light tube has a poor
connection.
Check if the battery compartment is wholly put-on
(the transparent synthetic plug socket must disap-
pear completely). Check if the contact springs
aren’t tipped over and are pressing straight on the
batteries.
No function The contact between
the batteries and the
light tube has a poor
connection.
Roll back the silicon sleeves onto the battery com-
partment, push the joints firmly together, and roll
the tubes centred back over the joints.
Batteries are inserted
inncorrectly
Fill in the batteries correctly - see battery change
(page 2).
The battery compart-
ment was put on the
wrong way.
Pull the light tube and the battery pack apart while
twisting the joint slightly, taking care not to use ex-
cessive force and put it on reversely.

General care and safety
•Use the LEUCHTIE only for its intended purpose.
•Before the first use, make sure the LEUCHTIE is not too tight around the dogs neck, and that
it can be removed easily. If you have purchased a LEUCHTIE that is too tight, and you cannot
remove it, then you can pull it apart as per battery replacement instructions on page 3.
•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 battery and other parts to fall out and get lost.
•The LEUCHTIE is not a dog-toy. If it is used inappropriately (for example being thrown,
chewed, tugged etc.) the LEUCHTIE could be irreparably damaged and or parts become lost.
If a battery or any other part are swallowed by your dog, you should seek advice from your vet
immediately.
•Do not let your dog play with the LEUCHTIE.
•Should your LEUCHTIE get accidently damaged replace the required parts before any further
use.
•During cleaning the LEUCHTIE or changing batteries avoid getting water inside. When fully
closed, the LEUCHTIE is well protected from moisture. If you see moisture, roll back the
silicon sleeves, pull the light tube and the battery pack apart while twisting the joint slightly,
taking care not to use excessive force and let everything dry out overnight.
•Do not expose the LEUCHTIE to temperatures in excess of 60˚C.
•Never dry the LEUCHTIE in a microwave. Microwave radiation will destroy the electronics.
•Clean the LEUCHTIE in warm water (maximum 60˚C) with a little soap or gentle detergent.
Do not use aggressive or solvent-based cleaners.
Cleaning
Clean the LEUCHTIE in warm water and soap or mild detergent if required. Do not use aggressive or
solvent-based cleaners. Be careful to avoid moisture getting into the battery compartment. If this
happens accidentally, take the light apart and allow it dry out overnight.
This product complies with the regulations of the guideline 2011/65/EU of the European
