The Basics Of Use - Dog trace d–mute User Manual

The basics of use

d-mute is activated automatically when the dog starts barking (sometimes even with
howling and growling). The collar does not operate on the principle of sound, but it
responds to vibrations of the vocal cords. This system thus prevents the risk of a false start
caused by another dog barking.
● Device with inserted batteries is in standby or active mode. (The device can be turned
off only by removing the battery.)
● In standby mode, the device is waiting for a dogs bark - vibration of the vocal cords.
● First bark activates the device and it emits an acoustic beep tone or beep tone with the
stimulation impulse. Intensity of stimulation depends on the selected mode.
● The collar has 5 modes for barking correction. You can choose between an acoustic
beep tone, three levels of stimulation pulses and pacing mode with increasing intensity
in five steps see table on page 12.
● If your dog keeps barking, the device will beep or will beep together with stimulation
impulse. Collar beeps 4times and then the process stops automatically.
● When the dog gets quiet for 10-20 seconds, the system will switch back into standby
mode. Another barking will be accompanied by an acoustic beep signal or the acoustic
signal with stimulation impulse.
● Once the dog gets used to the collar and how it works, then he will stop barking after
the acoustic signal. When this happens it is possible to switch to the mode 1 (if the dog
starts barking again, short change of the mode will remind him of collar function).
