COLLAR FOR PROPER F I T

I Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safety and correct functioning every time you use the collar.

All electronic collars need to bf very snug to work properly electrodes to make good skir contact.

If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly because good skin contact is not being achieved. This can directly affect the stimulation performance and whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation. Always check for good

"prong" contact if it appears that your dog is not responding to the stimulation.

A loose collar can promote skin irritation from moving or rubbing too much on a dog's neck while they are running or training. The proper snug fit will help prevent this from occurring.

Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be tight enough on the dog's neck to make good skin contact and allow the dog to breath normally. The collar should never be so tight on the dog's neck that it restricts the dog's normal breathing pattern.

For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it should be placed on the center of the dog's neck.

TRAINING INTENSITY LEVEL

The first and most important step in training your dog with your EZT Training System is determining the correct lntensity Level to provide the proper training stimulation without over-shocking your dog.

To do this place the Collar on the dog's neck and turn it on. Place the lntensity Selection dial so that the

System is set on Level One. Press either the 'NICK' or the 'STIMU' Button. Increase the lntensity Level in increments of one until the dog is feeling the stimulation. You should be able to tell when the dog is feeling the shock by the outward signs of discomfort or confusion on it's face. At this point, increase the lntensity Level by one or two. This should be your dog's ideal training level. (Note: Some dog's may require more or less stimulation depending upon their individual nature or size.)

Transmitter Indicator Light

When one of the push button switches on the transmitter are pushed, the RED light will turn on to indicate that the transmitter is being operated. When the battery needs charging the RED light will blink once every 112 second while pushing a button. ,

Transmitter Antenna

Be very careful when screwing the 4" antenna into the transmitter. Hand tighten only. Over tightening could cause damage to the antenna or the antenna mount.

Remote Training ~ u t t o n s

Pressing the upper button causes the collar to administer a Momentary Stimulation or 'Nick'.

Pressing the lower button gives the Continuous

Stimulation.

Locate and RunlPoint Buttons

Pressing the 'Locate' button on the left side of the

Transmitter will make the Collar Receiver beep.

Pressing the 'RunlPoint' button on the right side of the

Transmitter will activate the RunlPoint mode on the

Collar Receiver. Press it again and it will go into the

Point only mode. Press the 'Locate' button to cancel the RunlPoint modes.

Two Don Model Selection Switch

(EZT plus 5002)

Switching between units can be controlled by moving the toggle selection switch to the desired unit.

Batterv Chargincl Receptacles

The battery charging receptacle is located on the side of the Transmitter, and on the side of the Collar

Receiver facing the dog's neck. After charging, always close the jack with the rubber plug to prevent foreign particles from getting inside the unit.

Collar Indicator Light

When the Collar Receiver is turned on, the RED light will flash steadily once every two seconds to indicate that the unit is active. The RED light changes to a rapid flash (twice per second) when the battery is low and in need of charging.

Electrodes

Electrodes should fit snugly on the dog's neck to ensure good contact with the skin. For more information on the proper fit of the collar, see page 7.

Beeper Horn

The Beeper horn is attached to the collar belt. It will emit a loud tone audible from up to 450 yards away.

Collar Belt with Embedded Receiver Antenna

The embedded collar antenna is woven into the collar belt, and runs the along the entire length of the belt.

Do not cut the collar belt.

Doing so will damage the antenna and may result in

with rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. NiMH batteries are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion before recharging.

The batteries come partially charged from the factory.

However, it is recommended that you give the battery a full charge (about 12 hours) before the first use.

Remember

-

Always keep batteries away from flammable substances (especially when charging).

When storing the unit for long periods remember to regularly give the batteries a full charge (12 hours) once every 4 to 6 weeks.

Battery Charainn Procedure

1. Turn the unit off.

2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Charge the batteries for up to 12 hours. This can be done either separately or simultaneously.

4. After charging, disconnect the battery charging cables from the receptacles and securely replace the rubber battery receptacle covers.

5.Test the system to make sure that everything is working properly.

Before testing, make sure that both units are fully charged and the power to the Collar Receiver is "ON".

To Test the Electronic Stimulation:

A) Place the tester firmly on the electrodes of the Collar Receiver.

B) Set the intensity (note - an intensity level setting of 4 or less might not be enough to light the tester).

C) Push either the 'NICK' or 'STIMU' button.

D) The tester light will quickly flash for the Nick function and light steadily when the Constant

Stimulation is pushed (the higher the intensity, the brighter the test light).

To Test the Beeper:

A) Press the button located on the left side of the transmitter (Locate button). The collar should beep any time this button is pressed.

B) Press the button on the right side of the transmitter

(RunIPoint button) to activate the RunIPoint Mode.

Press the button again to change to Point only mode. In the RunIPoint mode, the collar should beep every 4-5 seconds while your dog is on the run, and every 1-2 seconds when your dog is on point. In the Point only mode, the collar will beep only when your dog is on point. You can shake the collar to simulate your dog on the run. Press the 'Locate' button to cancel these modes.

Before beginning training your dog should be examined by a veterinarian to assure that your dog is in good health.

Never leave your dog unattended with the unit

- very slight possibility that your dog may receive an unintentional electric stimulation.

Your valuable tool if used correctly. It is extremely important that you completely understand all the functions of the collar and how to properly train with it before placing it on your dog.

The electrodes on this collar are made with high grade stainless steel to help prevent any chemical or allergic reactions with your dog's skin.

To prevent neck irritation, the collar should never be worn for more than 12 hours a day.

Changing the collar location on the dog's neck daily will also help prevent irritations. It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacterial soap.

If an irritation is found, carefully wash the dog's neck with soap and water and then wipe the area with

Hydrogen peroxide. antibiotic ointment.

Dry thoroughly and apply an

Take care to thoroughly clean the space between the electrodes and the belt.

The belt and buckle should be cleaned with water and a mild soap then allowed to dry completely.

Always allow the entire unit to completely dry before using.
