This transmitter collar was designed for convenience. The collar, antenna and battery can be
changed quickly in the field. The older #2850 model's 2-stage power has now been increased to 3-
stage power, giving more kick for longer signal range. The new injection-molded case gives the new
#3850 transmitter less weight, an improved look, and ease of repair.
Each battery will last for 30 days of continuous tracking or for months when used a few hours
daily two or three times a week. It uses a 3.5volt SAFT lithium battery, which can be purchased from WMI
or Radio Shack. After inserting your last battery, call us for a fresh one.
The new #3850 Transmitter collar weighs 4.4 ounces with battery and can be worn comfortably
by small running dogs who hunt in competition. The lighter weight encourages greater speed and
endurance. At the same time, all sized dogs can wear the collar.
The transmitter signal can be tracked over a standard 2-9 mile range, depending on terrain and
weather conditions.
NOTE: This equipment is designed to help you locate dogs after the hunt. As you
know, any electrical equipment, especially if battery-powered, may stop working.
Theft, accidents, and Acts of God also occur. Wildlife Materials International
cannot assume responsibility for dogs that are lost or injured while being
monitored.

DIRECTIONS for USE:

1. To start the beeping signal, insert a battery. You'll need to first open the battery holder cap--use a
coin to turn the cap's slot left. AVOID DAMAGING CIRCUITRY by placing the battery's negative
(-) end nearest the cap. As a reminder, a negative sign (-) has been engraved on the cap.
Tighten the cap; its O-ring will seal out water. If your O-ring becomes frayed, contact us.
2. Before hunting, inspect the radio unit for good working order. Tighten transmitter battery cap and
antenna (a moderate version of Lock Tight can help). Check cable connections between
receiver and antenna. Make sure collar screws securely hold collar to transmitter. These actions
can avoid loss in the field.
3. Just before releasing your dog, remove the magnet by pulling the white tape at the side (the
magnet, wrapped in this tape, is now located between the collar and the transmitter) to trigger the
signal beep.
4. Turn on your receiver. Tune in the transmitter collar signal.
5. The handheld antenna will magnify your transmitter's signal. However, the antenna should be
plugged into your receiver after you are positioned some distance away (at least a room's length)
from your transmitter.
6. Practice finding the transmitter collar before putting it on an animal. Begin by placing the
activated transmitter collar about 200 yards away so you can pick up the beeping signal. Then
ask a friend to hide the transmitter so you become familiar with the locating process.
7. The best way to track a transmitter signal is called the NULL-to-NULL method. With transmitter
collar hidden and antenna plugged to receiver, hold your antenna high with its main boom parallel
with replaceable lithium battery and Behavior Circuit
