The following pages illustrate the detail for operation of the Field and Pro series G3® remote trainers. All Field
and Pro Series G3® EXP® models can grow with your needs to train multiple dogs because you can simply
add more receivers to your system (see pages 23-24). The Classic 70 standard model cannot be expanded and
has no dog selection switch but has the other appropriate features.

When a stimulation button is pressed, this light will be:
• Steady green when the batteries are fully charged.
• Steady amber when the batteries are partly discharged.
• Steady red when the batteries need charging very soon.
• Rapid red ashing means the batteries are completely dead and the transmitter will not operate the collar.

• Steady amber when the batteries are partly discharged.
• Steady red when the batteries need charging very soon.
• Rapid red ashing means the batteries are completely
dead and the unit will not function.
(Note: It takes 20 seconds after the collar is switched on for the light
to register the battery charge level.)

Remove these two screws to remove the battery pack for replacement.
Position the new pack in place and replace the screws.
These screws are also removed to install the TracerTM light accessory.
Very important: Do not remove or tamper with any internal labels that are visible when the battery pack is removed.
Doing so will void your warranty. The receiver product code label is a seal that maintains waterproof integrity of the receiver.
