The contact points
□
□
All sets are delivered with 4 × 15-mm (0.59 in) contact points, 2red and
2black (19-mm (0.75 in) contact points are available separately).

□
□
Screw the red contact points on the red islands (with a red dot).
□
□
Screw the black contact points on the black islands.
□
□
To enable the stimulation, you need at least one contact on a red island
and one on a black island to close the electric circuit.
□
□
The rule of stimulation is:
•The less contact points, the more the dog perceives the stimulation.
•The more contact points, the less the dog perceives the stimulation.
□
□
Change the position of the contact points to reduce the risk of necrosis
and avoid desensitization of the dog to the electronic stimulation.
Operating modes
Depending on your transmitter model and configuration, the Chameleon III
B collar receiver is able to stimulate the dog in different ways and with
different levels.
•For more detailed information, please check the user guide of your
transmitter.

Main benefits
Your Chameleon III B collar receiver uses the best technologies in the
electronic collar industry and most of them are patented by Martin
System®:
□
□
The New High Tension Transformer - NHT (patented).
□
□
The consistent reliable stimulation - S.S.C. ("Stimulation à Sensation
Constante") (patented).
□
□
The Contact Measurement System - CMS (patented).
□
□
The best quality contact points (made of marine grade stainless steel)
that greatly reduces the risk of chemical necrosis.
□
□
The Chameleon® Patent offers:
•An improvement of the skin contact as the contact points are on the
side.
•An easy way to change the position of the contact points to avoid
mechanical necrosis.
•An easy use of Feathers contact to have a 100% quality skin contact.
•Invisibility on the neck of your dog when you need discretion.
The smallest receiver with the longest battery life
□
□
The Martin System® patented NHT Transformer is about 1/8th the size
of a standard transformer, with the same capacity of stimulation and
consistent reliable stimulation.
□
□
The main benefits of using a NHT Transformer are:
•The smallest receiver with the longest battery life in standby.
•A stable stimulation even at high level when the battery is low.

Safe and fair stimulation
The Chameleon III B collar receiver is equipped with the patented S.S.C.
stimulation:
□
□
It measures the conditions of the dog's skin 20times per second .
□
□
It adapts the output stimulation level to ensure a constant and reliable
sensation felt by the dog.
□
□
This avoids the risk of accidental overstimulation of the dog due to
constantly changing environmental factors.

Switching the Collar Receiver On and Off
Switching the collar receiver ON
1. Slide the magnet (standalone or in the transmitter) next to the ON/
OFF/ synchronizing point of the receiver.
►►You hear an ascending tone.
►►The LEDs start flashing alternately.
►►The collar is ON and ready for use.
WARNING
If the tone does not start with or just after the first flashing of the
LEDs, this means that the battery is low and you should recharge it
as soon as possible.
TIP
Do not leave the magnet too long next to the ON/ OFF/
synchronizing point or the pairing process starts.
Switching the collar receiver OFF
1. Slide the magnet (standalone or in the transmitter) next to the ON/
OFF/ synchronizing point of the receiver.

Fitting the Collar on the Dog
1. Clean and brush the fur. Remove any remaining underfur.
2. Position the Chameleon III B collar receiver under the dog's neck.
3. Adjust the strap properly.
•If the strap is too loose, the contact points will not be in contact with
the dog’s skin and the dog will not feel the stimulations.
•If the strap is too tight, the dog will have difficulty breathing.
4. Use the CMS (Contact Measurement System) to fit the collar as loosely
as possible while ensuring a good contact with the skin.

Checking the Collar Contact
The Chameleon III B collar receiver uses the patented Contact
Measurement System (CMS).
□
□
A LED on the collar indicates if there is a contact with the dog's skin for
a safe and effective training.
□
□
The CMS makes it possible to avoid any accidental overstimulation
when there is no direct contact (due to bridging electricity).
□
□
While the CMS is checking for contact, the LED lights flash quickly and
alternatively.
□
□
The CMS is active for 2 minutes after switching the collar on.
□
□
When there is correct contact, one LED blinks twice every 3seconds.
□
□
Press on any button on the transmitter or on the FingerKick to stop the
CMS.

Precautions for Use
Martin System® follows ECMA rules.
□□Do not leave the collar around the dog's neck for long periods.
•Never longer than 8 consecutive hours.
•The pressure and the friction of the contact points may irritate the
skin.
□□Every day, check the dog for roughness, irritated skin or cuts in
the area in contact with the contact points.
If this is the case:
•Remove the collar immediately.
•Administer the appropriate care.
•Wait until the dog has healed completely before using a collar.
•If the skin condition does not improve, consult a veterinarian.
□□Every week, disinfect the dog’s neck and the contact points.
•Use a sponge or a towel soaked with a disinfecting solution.
□□If the dog is in poor health, consult a veterinarian before using a
training collar.
□□To properly use this product, you need a minimum of basic
training (such as sit, lie down and some knowledge of recall).
□□Regularly check that the contact points are securely attached and
locked in place.
□□Never leave the collar receiver close to a transmitter or a magnet
that may pair or unpair the collar unexpectedly.
