4. Selecting Contact Points

Choose the appropriate contact points (short or long) based on your dog's coat length. For dogs with shorter coats, use the short contact points. For dogs with longer or thicker coats, use the long contact points to ensure proper contact with the skin. Screw them firmly into the receiver unit.

5. Поставување на јаката

Place the collar on your dog's neck, ensuring the receiver unit is positioned centrally under the chin or on the side of the neck. The collar should be snug enough for the contact points to make consistent contact with the skin, but not so tight as to cause discomfort. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.

4. Using the Acoustic Signal

Press the dedicated acoustic signal button to emit a warning tone from the receiver collar. This can be used to alert your dog to undesirable behavior before applying an impulse, allowing them to correct themselves.

5. Applying an Impulse

Press the impulse button to deliver a short, corrective impulse. This should be used to interrupt unwanted behavior or reinforce commands. The duration of the impulse should be brief, just enough to get your dog's attention.

6. Функција за засилување

The booster function allows for a quick switch to a pre-set higher impulse intensity. This can be useful in urgent situations where a stronger correction is immediately required. Refer to the remote control's specific button for this function.

7. Multi-Dog Operation

The D-Control 400 remote control can be paired with a second receiver collar (sold separately) to train two dogs simultaneously. Follow the pairing instructions in the full manual for multi-dog setup.

Одржување

1. Чистење

Regularly clean the receiver collar and remote control with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt, debris, or corrosion to maintain effective operation. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

2. Замена на батеријата

When the battery indicator on the remote control or receiver collar shows low power, replace the CR2 batteries promptly. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries.

3. Водоотпорност

The receiver collar is designed to be waterproof and robust. However, prolonged submersion or exposure to extreme conditions should be avoided. The remote control is not waterproof and should be protected from moisture.

4. Складирање

Store the system in a dry, cool place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

Решавање проблеми

1. Collar Not Responding

• Check if both the remote control and receiver collar are powered on.
• Verify that the batteries in both units are charged and correctly installed.
• Ensure the contact points are making proper contact with your dog's skin. Adjust the collar fit or switch to longer contact points if necessary.
• Confirm that the remote and collar are paired. If not, re-pair them according to the full manual.

2. Short Range

• Obstacles such as dense foliage, buildings, or terrain can reduce the effective range. Try operating in an open area.
• Low battery levels can affect range. Replace batteries if needed.
• Avoid holding the remote control in a way that obstructs the antenna.

3. No Impulse/Acoustic Signal

• Проверете ги нивоата на батериите.
• Ensure the impulse intensity is not set to zero.
• Verify that the collar is properly fitted and contact points are clean.

If issues persist after performing these checks, please refer to the complete user manual or contact customer support.
