Chapter 3: Setup Instructions & Overview
Overview of the Control Panel
Power Switch: Set to ON for all MannersMinder operations. Indicator light turns green.
Channel Switch: Used to select a specific frequency.
The CHANNEL – 1, 2, 3, or 4 – chosen for both the
base unit and remote must match for the system to
operate properly.
Volume: Controls the volume of the cue and training
tones from the machine. The POWER switch should
be on and the VOLUME set to the appropriate level.
Dispense treats by hitting DISPENSE on the remote.
We won't use the DOWN-STAY button or any of the
other controls until Games 3 and 5 of training.
Down-Stay Session: Used for Games 3 and 5. Each Down-Stay session is one minute.
• Single Treat – Dispenses one treat at a time when Down-Stay mode is activated (see
below). Used for Games 3 and 5.
• Multitreat – Dispenses several treats at a time when Down-Stay mode is activated.
• Cue Dispense – Alerts you when to press the
DISPENSE button in the Down-Stay mode. Used
for Game 3 (Down-Stay). In this setting, the timer
will beep but food will not be dispensed until you
press the DISPENSE button.
Treat Rate Dial: Determines how frequently treats
are dispensed during a Down-Stay session.
Fixed or Variable Switch: Determines whether
treats are dispensed at the fixed time interval
chosen on the dial or on at a more unpredictable
interval – one that averages the interval chosen. In
most of the Down-Stay exercises, this switch will be set on FIXED. When this switch is set
to VARIABLE, the Down-Stay session will not stop after one minute. This feature allows you
to feed your dog his complete meal.
Down-Stay Light
[Above Control Panel] :
to dispense according to the timed Treat Rate settings.
NOTE: If the Down-Stay light flashes on and off, check for dispenser jam or see if
the unit is empty. The unit will beep and light will flash for one minute before turning
off automatically.
