Battery Information

This product contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent the possibility of personal injury or product damage
caused by battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct sunlight.
Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.
Contact your local waste disposal department to properly recycle the batteries.

Long-Term Storage

The normal long-term decrease in the charging capacity of lithium-ion batteries can be accelerated by exposure
to elevated temperatures. Storing a fully charged device in a location with a temperature outside the long-term
storage temperature range can significantly reduce its recharging capacity.
When you do not plan to use the handheld device for several months, the battery should be removed. Stored
data is not lost when the battery is removed.
When you do not plan to use the collar for several months, the battery should be charged to about 50%. The
device should be stored in a cool, dry place with temperatures around the typical household level. After storage,
the collar should be fully recharged before use.

Maximizing the Battery Life

You can do several things to extend the life of the batteries in the handheld device and collar.
• Reduce the backlight brightness
• Reduce the backlight timeout
• Turn off the transmitter
• Use battery save mode
• Put the dog collar device into rescue mode to conserve the collar battery
• Extend the duration for the collar update rate to conserve the collar battery
