IMPORTANT: The Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote
Trainer has a range of up to 400 yards. For the best
results at long ranges, hold the remote above your
head and point to the receiver. Other factors that may
affect range include weather, terrain and other radio
frequencies transmitted in the area. ( g . 1 )

battery is charging or is fully charged. When the battery is low, all 3 LED
lights will fl ash red to remind you to charge the Receiver Collar battery.
• Charge the Receiver Collar for 24 hours for the rst charge. Recharge
the Receiver Collar for 12 hours. When charging is complete, remove the
charging connector and replace the rubber cover.

COLLAR FITTING
Proper t of the Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote Trainer is essential to
establish a good training foundation and
optimal performance.
Note: Collar should be in the OFF position
before proceeding with fitting the collar on
your dog.
STEP 1:
Ensure dog is in a relaxed position.
STEP 2: With the collar clasp open loosen
the adjustment buckle such that it can reach
completely around your dog’s neck. (g. 6)
Place the main unit directly over the dog’s
voicebox. When buckled, the collar should rest
directly behind the dog’s ears (the highest part of
the neck). (g. 7)
Note: Make sure both stainless steel probes go
through the coat completely and make contact
with the skin.
Use the longer stainless steel probes if the coat does not allow the shorter probes
to reach the skin.
Before changing the stainless steel probes you must completely discharge
the collar by holding a plastic handle screwdriver across both stainless steel
probes for 5 seconds. Make sure the metal portion of the screwdriver is
touching both stainless steel probes and the
unit is in the OFF position.
Trimming the hair around the dog’s neck where
the stainless steel probes will touch the skin is
optional, DO NOT trim the hair so short that the
skin is completely exposed as this might allow
for an irritation or rash to occur.
Use a wrench when assembling or disassembling
the stainless steel probes, do not over tighten.
(g. 8)
STEP 3: Close and lock clasp.
(g. 9)
STEP 4: Adjust for proper t by pulling on strap
until you can fit two fingers in between your
dog’s neck and the collar. (g. 10)
Note: Verify that the main body of the collar
unit is directly over the dog’s voicebox. The collar
should be rm but not excessively tight.
STEP 5: Let your dog wear the product for
sufficient time confirming that they are moving
around normally. This step is to ensure that
under daily activity the collar will remain secure
and not become loose.
STEP 6: Reattach collar to your dog. Check the
fit of the collar several
times per day. Wipe the
stainless steel probes weekly with a damp cloth while collar is in o position.
Reminder: If you choose to use a 2nd collar, leash or harness system make
sure it does not interfere with the operation of the Sunbeam® Rechargeable
Remote Trainer.
READY TO USE
Note: COLLAR FITTING step must be completed before you are ready to use.
STEP 1: Holding the main body of the Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote
Trainer in both hands PRESS and HOLD the Main Control Button for 4 seconds.
Note: You will hear 2 audible beeps and 3 LEDs flash GREEN indicating the
device is on.
The default correction level is LOW; this setting will illuminate GREEN for
10 seconds and then turn o . During the ten seconds, you may toggle to
different correction levels by pressing the Main Control Button.
STEP 2:
Set correction level by pressing and holding (approximately 2 seconds)
the Main Control Button until a GREEN LED
illuminates at the desired setting.
When a GREEN LED is illuminated press
the Main Control Button once to toggle
to the next correction level. Once a
correction level is chosen all 3 GREEN
LEDs will illuminate every 10 seconds
to advise the unit is on. IMPORTANT:
Always make sure to turn o the collar
when not in use to conserve battery life.
Note: It is recommended to start on the
LOW setting and monitor your dog’s behavior before determining if a higher
correction level is needed.The Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote Trainer
retains the last correction level setting and will resume this mode when the
unit is turned on.
STEP 3: Attach collar to your dog as you did in the COLLAR FITTING stage.
STEP 4: Turn on the remote control by pressing the On/O button for 2 seconds.
STEP 5: To begin using the remote trainer, find your dog’s recognition level
starting with the warning button. Once an unwanted behavior takes place, such
as chewing, digging, barking, jumping, biting or whining, immediately press the
warning button. Each dog will react differently and reactions may include a dip of
the head, shaking the head, whining, excessive barking or confusion. Some dogs
will respond to the warning button and stop the unwanted behavior. If this is the
case, continue training your dog using the warning button and skip to STEP 7.
IMPORTANT: Your timing on this step is crucial. If the unwanted behavior
has stopped before you have time to press the warning or correction button,
DO NOT press the warning or correction button. The warning or correction
button should only be used at the exact moment the unwanted behavior is
taking place.
STEP 6: If the dog does not respond to the warning button, starting on the LOW
setting, press the correction button. If your dog does not respond to the correction
on the LOW setting, toggle the collar setting to MEDIUM and HIGH, if necessary.
STEP 7: Once your dog’s recognition level has been identified, continue training
with that setting. As soon as the unwanted behavior stops, be sure to reward your
dog with praise, petting or a treat.
Note: If you use the warning button to first alert your dog of the unwanted
behavior and then use the correction button, there is a chance your dog will
associate the warning tone with the correction. Once your dog has made
this association, continue use of the remote trainer utilizing the warning
button only.
SPECIAL OPERATING NOTES
REMOTE CONTROL: For precaution, the collar will be ready to use 10 seconds
after the user has selected or made adjustments to the correction level on the
collar. The collar will not react to the handheld remote when the user turns the
collar on and/or toggles the correction settings during this period.
WARNING BUTTON: If the user presses the warning button on the remote
control, the transmit GREEN LED on the remote will fl ash. There will be an
audible beep at the collar unit.
CORRECTION BUTTON: If the user presses the correction button on the
remote control, the transmit GREEN LED on the remote will fl ash. If the collar
can receive the signal from the remote control, the collar’s GREEN LED of the
selected correction level will light up during the correction period.
OVER CORRECTION MODE: If too many corrections occur within a 60
second period, the remote control will be deactivated for two minutes.
This is to protect the dog in case something may be accidentally activating
the correction button.The transmit RED LED on the remote control will be
fl ashing during the entire two minute period. The unit will resume normal
operation after this two minute period.
LOW BATTERY MODE: On the collar all 3 LEDs will fl ash RED for 5 seconds
when the battery needs to be charged. On the remote control the power LED
will fl ash RED and automatically turn o .
TRAINING GUIDE
Proper training is essential to achieving the best results from the Sunbeam®
Rechargeable RemoteTrainer. For best results, prior to use of the remote
trainer, you should put the collar on your dog for a few days without turning
it on. You do not want the dog to associate the collar with the correction
because the dog can become collar smart. The dog that is collar smart will
only behave when the collar is on. Your goal is to eliminate the unwanted
behavior whether the collar is on or off.
When rst starting to use the remote trainer you should closely monitor
your dog’s reaction to the correction. You should be inside a protected area.
The protected area should not be a cage, crate or kennel. If outside, your dog
should be in a safe protected area so that it cannot run away when it receives
a correction from the remote trainer.
Do not let your dog see the handheld remote when you are pushing the
warning button or the correction button. You do not want your dog to
associate the correction with you.
Each dog can have a different reaction to the correction it receives from the
remote trainer. Reactions can vary from a dip of the head, to shaking the
head, whining, excessive barking, confusion or running away. In the event
of an extreme reaction or aggression, wait until your dog is calm before
approaching your dog.
The remote trainer should be used when you want to deter unwanted
behavior. Do not leave the remote trainer collar on your dog when you are
not present. Consistently using the remote trainer at the right time will give
you the best results. The more disciplined you are when using the remote
trainer the better your dog will understand that unwanted behaviors are not
acceptable.
It is important for the training process to be interactive. Once your dog has
received a correction and stopped the unwanted behavior you should reward
your dog with a treat or praise.

STEP 2: With the collar clasp open loosen
the adjustment buckle such that it can reach
completely around your dog’s neck. (g. 6)
Place the main unit directly over the dog’s
voicebox. When buckled, the collar should rest
directly behind the dog’s ears (the highest part of
the neck). (g. 7)
Note: Make sure both stainless steel probes go
through the coat completely and make contact
with the skin.
Use the longer stainless steel probes if the coat does not allow the shorter probes
to reach the skin.
Before changing the stainless steel probes you must completely discharge
the collar by holding a plastic handle screwdriver across both stainless steel
probes for 5 seconds. Make sure the metal portion of the screwdriver is
touching both stainless steel probes and the
unit is in the OFF position.
Trimming the hair around the dog’s neck where
the stainless steel probes will touch the skin is
optional, DO NOT trim the hair so short that the
skin is completely exposed as this might allow
for an irritation or rash to occur.
Use a wrench when assembling or disassembling
the stainless steel probes, do not over tighten.
(g. 8)
STEP 3: Close and lock clasp.
(g. 9)
STEP 4: Adjust for proper t by pulling on strap
until you can fit two fingers in between your
dog’s neck and the collar. (g. 10)
Note: Verify that the main body of the collar
unit is directly over the dog’s voicebox. The collar
should be rm but not excessively tight.
STEP 5: Let your dog wear the product for
sufficient time confirming that they are moving
around normally. This step is to ensure that
under daily activity the collar will remain secure
and not become loose.
STEP 6: Reattach collar to your dog. Check the
fit of the collar several
times per day. Wipe the
stainless steel probes weekly with a damp cloth while collar is in o position.
Reminder: If you choose to use a 2nd collar, leash or harness system make
sure it does not interfere with the operation of the Sunbeam® Rechargeable
Remote Trainer.
READY TO USE
Note: COLLAR FITTING step must be completed before you are ready to use.
STEP 1: Holding the main body of the Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote
Trainer in both hands PRESS and HOLD the Main Control Button for 4 seconds.
Note: You will hear 2 audible beeps and 3 LEDs flash GREEN indicating the
device is on.
The default correction level is LOW; this setting will illuminate GREEN for
10 seconds and then turn o . During the ten seconds, you may toggle to
different correction levels by pressing the Main Control Button.
STEP 2:
Set correction level by pressing and holding (approximately 2 seconds)
the Main Control Button until a GREEN LED
illuminates at the desired setting.
When a GREEN LED is illuminated press
the Main Control Button once to toggle
to the next correction level. Once a
correction level is chosen all 3 GREEN
LEDs will illuminate every 10 seconds
to advise the unit is on. IMPORTANT:
Always make sure to turn o the collar
when not in use to conserve battery life.
Note: It is recommended to start on the
LOW setting and monitor your dog’s behavior before determining if a higher
correction level is needed.The Sunbeam® Rechargeable Remote Trainer
retains the last correction level setting and will resume this mode when the
unit is turned on.
STEP 3: Attach collar to your dog as you did in the COLLAR FITTING stage.
STEP 4: Turn on the remote control by pressing the On/O button for 2 seconds.
STEP 5: To begin using the remote trainer, find your dog’s recognition level
starting with the warning button. Once an unwanted behavior takes place, such
as chewing, digging, barking, jumping, biting or whining, immediately press the
warning button. Each dog will react differently and reactions may include a dip of
the head, shaking the head, whining, excessive barking or confusion. Some dogs
will respond to the warning button and stop the unwanted behavior. If this is the
case, continue training your dog using the warning button and skip to STEP 7.
IMPORTANT: Your timing on this step is crucial. If the unwanted behavior
has stopped before you have time to press the warning or correction button,
DO NOT press the warning or correction button. The warning or correction
button should only be used at the exact moment the unwanted behavior is
taking place.
STEP 6: If the dog does not respond to the warning button, starting on the LOW
setting, press the correction button. If your dog does not respond to the correction
on the LOW setting, toggle the collar setting to MEDIUM and HIGH, if necessary.
STEP 7: Once your dog’s recognition level has been identified, continue training
with that setting. As soon as the unwanted behavior stops, be sure to reward your
dog with praise, petting or a treat.
Note: If you use the warning button to first alert your dog of the unwanted
behavior and then use the correction button, there is a chance your dog will
associate the warning tone with the correction. Once your dog has made
this association, continue use of the remote trainer utilizing the warning
button only.
SPECIAL OPERATING NOTES
REMOTE CONTROL: For precaution, the collar will be ready to use 10 seconds

second period, the remote control will be deactivated for two minutes.
This is to protect the dog in case something may be accidentally activating
the correction button.The transmit RED LED on the remote control will be
fl ashing during the entire two minute period. The unit will resume normal
operation after this two minute period.
LOW BATTERY MODE: On the collar all 3 LEDs will fl ash RED for 5 seconds
when the battery needs to be charged. On the remote control the power LED
will fl ash RED and automatically turn o .
TRAINING GUIDE
Proper training is essential to achieving the best results from the Sunbeam®
Rechargeable RemoteTrainer. For best results, prior to use of the remote
trainer, you should put the collar on your dog for a few days without turning
it on. You do not want the dog to associate the collar with the correction
because the dog can become collar smart. The dog that is collar smart will
only behave when the collar is on. Your goal is to eliminate the unwanted
behavior whether the collar is on or off.
When rst starting to use the remote trainer you should closely monitor
your dog’s reaction to the correction. You should be inside a protected area.
The protected area should not be a cage, crate or kennel. If outside, your dog
should be in a safe protected area so that it cannot run away when it receives
a correction from the remote trainer.
Do not let your dog see the handheld remote when you are pushing the
warning button or the correction button. You do not want your dog to
associate the correction with you.
Each dog can have a different reaction to the correction it receives from the
remote trainer. Reactions can vary from a dip of the head, to shaking the
head, whining, excessive barking, confusion or running away. In the event
of an extreme reaction or aggression, wait until your dog is calm before
approaching your dog.
The remote trainer should be used when you want to deter unwanted
behavior. Do not leave the remote trainer collar on your dog when you are
not present. Consistently using the remote trainer at the right time will give
you the best results. The more disciplined you are when using the remote
trainer the better your dog will understand that unwanted behaviors are not
acceptable.
It is important for the training process to be interactive. Once your dog has
received a correction and stopped the unwanted behavior you should reward
your dog with a treat or praise.
