Individually adjustable training signal strengths
When paired with a Modular Trainer*, the Modular Remote features 5
different training signal levels, 1 being the weakest and 5 the
strongest. The right signal level for your dog depends on his temperament
and sensitivity to the training signal (spray or vibration). So always start
with the weakest signal level and work your way up until you find the right
intensity. Your dog will show a mild reaction when you reach the correct
signal level. One such reaction would be tensing of the neck muscles. If he
does not notice the signal, you should increase the strength.
Maximum range of the remote control
The Modular Remote can transmit a training signal to a Modular Trainer
from up to 600 m away. The range can be less, depending on the terrain and
surroundings. To maximize the range, you can hold the remote control up
in the air.
*Training collar (Modular Spray or Modular Vibra) is available separately.

Charging the battery
• Charge the battery completely before the first use (this may take up to
2 hours).
• Do not charge the battery near flammable substances.
• The battery must be completely recharged if the Trainer has not been
used for more than three months.
The battery must be recharged if:
• the battery indicator on the remote control shows only one bar instead
of three bars.
• the indicator light on the remote control does not light up.
Charging the remote control
Charge the remote control completely, using the included charging cable,
until the indicator bars on the unit are full. To do this, open the rubber
cover on the back of the remote control and insert the charging plug into the
opening provided. Then connect the USB connector to the adapter and plug
the charging device into a power outlet. A complete charging cycle takes
about two hours.
Important information
The remote control battery is only partially charged at the factory. The first
complete charge may take up to two hours.

Pairing the remote control and Trainer
Important
• The Modular Remote can only be paired with the Modular Vibra or
Modular Spray Trainer collars. These items can be purchased
separately!  https://pettec.de/shop/trainer/
• Carefully read the instructions and safety notice for the training collars
before using.
• Only connect and disconnect the devices when your dog is not wearing
the training collar.
Important information
• Completely charge the remote control and training collar before
pairing the devices.
• The Modular Remote works with both training collars (Modular Spray
and Modular Vibra Trainer).
• Up to 2 training collars can be paired with a single remote control. This
means that you can control both a Modular Spray and a Modular Vibra
Trainer (both available separately) with the Modular Remote.

Proper dog training
Proper dog training is the key to a harmonious relationship between dogs
and humans, but dog owners often reach the limit of their abilities when
training their four-legged friends. The Modular Remote is an innovative aid
for dog training, helping you effectively discourage your pet from unwanted
behavior. With the Modular Remote you can directly intervene from a
distance, letting you react immediately to unwanted behavior. Most dogs will
permanently correct their behavior after one or two uses of the Modular
Trainer. Please remember that the Remote is a training device and not a toy,
and must always be used carefully. So we would like to ask that you observe
the following guidelines:
Before training
1. Be sure that your dog’s misbehavior is not a result of insufficient
physical activity or health problems. In this case discontinue using the
Trainer and seek professional advice.

15
2. Get your dog accustomed to wearing the training collar for a full day
before using it.
3. For safety, do not let your dog swim while wearing the Trainer. Its
weight, or the training signals, could hamper your dog‘s ability to swim.
If the Trainer gets wet, simply let it dry. To avoid getting moisture inside
the Trainer, never open the rubber cover of the charging port when the
device is wet!
During training
1. Immediately remove the trainer if your dog appears agitated.
2. Always use the trainer carefully. As with other types of training, give
your dog clear, specific commands. Your dog must first learn these to
be able to react appropriately.
3. Conduct training for a maximum of 1-2 hours per day. Remove the
trainer after each session and turn it off.
4. Always reward your dog after successful training sessions!
