  • Page 27: Setting Up A Multi-Dog System

    SETTING UP A MULTI-DOG SYSTEM Expandable. All Tri-Tronics Remote Trainers except the Classic 70 standard version are field expandable. This feature makes it possible for you to easily expand your Remote Trainer from a one dog system to a multi-dog system. It also makes it easy for you to replace a lost collar if necessary.

  • Page 30: Charging The Batteries

    The NiMH re-chargeable batteries used in Tri-Tronics products do not have a “memory” so you can recharge at any time, even if the batteries have not run down.
  • Page 31 Jack for AC Power Supply (“Wall Cube”) Use only the wall cube supplied by Tri-Tronics with the Tri-Tronics receiver charging cradle. Cradle Charging Contacts Battery care tips: • Charge your system regularly. • Charge depleted batteries promptly. • Charge batteries at room temperature.

  • Page 33: Fitting The Collar On The Dog

    FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG Insert the collar strap through all three belt loops on the receiver and snug the strap against case. Place the collar strap in the middle of the dog’s neck. The receiver should be on the underside of the neck although on some dogs the receiver will naturally seek a slightly off-center position.

  • Page 34: Stimulation Overview

    This flexible ap- proach to remote training has made Tri-Tronics products the favorite of both experienced trainers and beginners for many years.

  • Page 35: Stimulation - Continuous & Momentary

    CONTINUOUS AND MOMENTARY STIMULATION Continuous Stimulation The dog trainer controls the timing of “continuous” stimulation. Continuous stays on while the transmitter button is pressed and held down, up to an automatic “time-out” of about 8 seconds. If the stimulation times out, restore function by releasing the button and pressing again.

  • Page 36: Tri-Tronics Beeper

    TRI-TRONICS BEEPER The Tri-Tronics Beeper lets you know where your bird dog is hunting and when he goes on point. The Beeper has a wide choice of settings to suit different hunting styles and individual preferences. You can also keep track of several dogs at one time by vary- ing the settings you select.
  • Page 37 Beeper Placement Adjust the position of your Beeper on your collar strap for the size of your dog, taking into account where you want the buckle to be for proper tightening on the dog. The Beeper should ride directly across from the receiver when placed on your dog, with the Beeper on the top of the dog’s neck and the receiver underneath his neck.
  • Page 38 Locate Feature (Does not apply to Sport Basic G3 or Sport Combo G3.) To locate your dog when the Beeper is silent, press and hold the Beeper button. You will hear several tones, letting you know where your dog is. (Note: To operate the remote switch-on/off and locate features, your Remote Trainer must be activated and the transmitter dial not set on “N.”...
  • Page 39 Changing Beeper Settings Switches Remove Battery Compartment Cover. Hold the Beeper upside down and unscrew the four Phillips head screws on the bottom of the Beeper. Slide the battery compartment cover along the collar strap 1 2 3 4 5 to expose the battery compartment and the Beeper switches.
  • Page 40 Introducing an Inexperienced Dog to the Beeper The Beeper is loud. It can startle or alarm an inexperienced dog at first. If your dog isn’t used to beeper collars, begin hunting with the Beeper set on low volume instead of high volume. You can also muffle the sound by placing duct tape over the horn, or a cotton ball in the horn.

  • Page 41: Replacing Batteries

    When your transmitter batteries do need replacement you can replace them yourself with a convenient battery pack obtained from Tri-Tronics. Loosen the two screws and remove the battery compartment door. Note: the screws are not meant to be removed from the battery compartment door. When removing the compartment door take care to not damage the gasket between the door and the transmitter body.

  • Page 43: Troubleshooting Guide

    TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Note: Giving the Remote Trainer a good charge can often resolve a performance problem. Also, it is fine to leave a unit on the charger between uses and this may be the best way to ensure that your Remote Trainer stays well charged.
  • Page 44 If using a power strip, make sure it is switched on and working. You are using the wrong transmitter. If you own more than one Tri-Tronics transmitter or train with someone who has a Tri-Tron- ics product, check that you have not accidentally switched transmitters.
  • Page 45 The contact points are too short for the dog’s coat type. Use the long contact points instead. The transmitter intensity dial is set on “N,” “T,” or “A.” Select a numbered position. The batteries in either the receiver or the Transmitter are dead. Recharge or replace as needed. Debris or contaminants are interfering with electrical stimulation.
  • Page 46 Problem #7: The charging cradle becomes warm during charging. This is not a malfunction. Heat build-up is normal. Do not charge in extremely warm areas such as a closed vehicle in the sun and be sure the vents are not blocked. Problem #8: The light blinks red slowly when the unit is placed in the cradle or adaptor.
  • Page 47 Loose battery connection. Gently pull the metal tabs in the Beeper battery compartment to hold the 9-volt battery more firmly. You are using the wrong transmitter. If you own more than one Tri-Tronics transmitter or train with someone who has a Tri-Tronics product, check that you have not accidentally switched transmitters.

  • Page 48: Basic Training Introduction

    The collar should ride snugly in place high on the dog’s neck. Check contact points regularly for tightness. Use only the Tri-Tronics plastic wrench to remove or tighten the contact points and do not over tighten.

  • Page 49: Basic Training

    BASIC COMMANDS Training should begin by teaching the dog a few basic commands (sit/stay, heel, here) using a leash and no stimulation. Once the dog responds consistently to the command on lead you can then start to condition the dog to the e-collar. Heel The first command that you will teach the dog is the “Heel”...
  • Page 50 USING THE COLLAR AS A TRAINING TOOL Collar Introduction Once the dog demonstrates that he has a grasp of the concepts of these three basic commands the e-collar can be introduced. During the initial stage of collar introduction the dog learns that collar stimulation means the same thing as a leash tug. All work during this step of the training process should be done on lead to maintain control and a safe working environment.
  • Page 51 repeat the command, and move in another direction or pull back on the lead. As the dog begins to show a consistent response to the command “Heel,” the e-collar can be used less often. Be sure to give your dog a “freebie” now and then once he becomes more responsive, and always praise a job well done. Teaching the “Here”...
  • Page 52 As the dog becomes better trained, the use of an e-collar will gradually decrease. However, you should continue to have the dog wear the collar until you feel certain that it is no longer needed to reinforce known commands. Abandoning the collar too early can lead to problems in the future.
