WARNING
Any person with individual device for cardiac assistance (pacemaker, defibrillator) must take precautions
when they use EASY DOG SOFT and EASY DOG PULSE.
These devices emit some static magnetic fields (a magnet is located in the remote control).
Frequency= 869 Mhz, at = 25 mW
The devices comply with the European Standard ETSI EN 300 220.
Thank you for choosing a NUM’AXES product.
Before using your EASY DOG SOFT or EASY DOG PULSE, please read the instructions in this guide carefully and keep
it for future reference.
Before using EASY DOG, we advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to ensure it is fit
to wear a collar.
Check your dog’s neck regularly, the repeated rubbing of the contact points against the
animal’s skin may cause irritation. If this happens, remove the collar until all signs of skin
irritation have disappeared.

Coding of the remote control and receiver collar
Each remote control has its own individual radio operator code. The coding of the remote control with the
receiver collar enables the two units to work together.
IMPORTANT: before beginning the coding (first use of the collar or re-coding), make sure no
other person is using his EASY DOG or other products from the NUM'AXES range close by: your
receiver collar could accidentally record the code of his remote control. If that occurs, re-code
the remote control with the receiver collar.
CODING PROCEDURE FOR THE 1ST USE
1. To begin the coding procedure, the remote control must be ready for use (battery in its housing).
2. Activate the collar: move the remote control towards the collar so that the round mark on the
remote control comes into contact with the white mark on the collar, hold for 1 second.

●Changing the contact points of EASY DOG PULSE collar
Two different series of contact points are supplied with the EASY DOG PULSE collar.
The length of the contact points must be sufficient to have proper contact with the dog’s skin, enabling the
device to operate correctly.
If you have a long-haired dog and the short contact points fitted to the collar in the factory are
inadequate, remove and replace them with the long ones supplied with the kit. Carefully tighten them
manually (do not use a key).

●Getting the best results
The training instructions you send to your dog are sent from the remote control to the receiver collar by
radio waves.
These radio waves are sensitive and the range reaches approximately 200 meters (depending on
geography and environment).
The performances of your EASY DOG SOFT or EASY DOG PULSE will be optimal if you respect the
following recommendations:
▪To obtain a good radio range, do not cover the part located above the indicator lights when you hold
the remote control in your hand.
▪The position of the receiver collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way: the
On/Off indicator light is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
▪Check the batteries (remote control and receiver collar) before using the unit and replace them as
soon as the level of load is weak.
▪The performances of the batteries decrease slightly under temperatures lower than 0°C. If possible
keep the remote control warm (e.g. inside a pocket) before using it.

EASY DOG SOFT / EASY DOG PULSE – User’s guide – indice A 9/12
●Fitting the collar
The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
Collar adjustment is very important:
If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the
skin of your dog. Furthermore, it will not function correctly.
If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog’s neck.
Do not leave the collar positioned at the same place for long periods (i.e. over 3 hours) because this can
cause irritations. If your dog must carry the collar for long periods, change regularly the position around
the neck of your dog
Never leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog. Check your dog’s neck regularly.
If irritations appear, remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have disappeared.
●Starting out with the training collar
▪You can start using the collar with 6 month-old puppies that have already received some rudimental
training: “stay”, “sit”, or at least “no”.
▪DO NOT USE the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems,
epilepsy) or have behavioural problems.
▪Your dog will need to get used to the collar; for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not use
it.
▪Positive and effective training takes time. Do not rush:
Choose a familiar area, a place your dog is used to.
Choose the right moment to press the button: at the exact time your dog does something
wrong.
Give your dog plenty of encouragement: he will learn faster and his desire to respond will
only increase.
▪Do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer for any further advice.
●Cautions for use
▪The EASY DOG receiver collar is totally waterproof. Your dog can swim in water. In order to
maintain water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the receiver collar
every year.
▪The EASY DOG SOFT and EASY DOG PULSE remote controls are shower proof only: they are
only designed to remain a short time in the rain. Put them in a dry place as soon as possible. If your
remote control falls into the water, it could be damaged in an irreversible way.
▪The dog should not wear a medal, metallic collar, or any other kind of collar together with the
training collar.
▪Avoid placing the remote control close to objects sensitive to magnetic fields, which could be
irreversibly damaged.
▪Do not place or keep the unit in places exposed to high temperatures.
▪It is necessary to replace the battery every two years, even if the unit has not been used for long
periods.
▪Never leave discharged batteries in the unit (remote control and collar): they could damage your
product.
▪Remove the battery from the receiver collar and from the remote control if you are not using the
appliance for 3 months or more. The collar will memorize the configuration chosen (coding).
▪Keep your EASY DOG unit out of reach of children. It is not a toy for you or your children.

EASY DOG SOFT / EASY DOG PULSE – User’s guide – indice A 10/12
●Maintenance
▪Avoid cleaning the unit with volatile liquids such as solvents or cleaning fluids. Use a soft cloth and
neutral detergent.
▪In order to maintain water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the
receiver collar every year.
▪The strap can be washed with soapy water.
●Troubleshooting
Should your product stop working or develop a fault, first read this user’s guide over, then check the
