This enables you to charge the transmitter and both receivers at the same time. Note: Only use Dogtra-approved lithium polymer batteries and chargers for your Dogtra e-collar. This will prevent any damage that can be incurred from attempting to use a different charger.
Page 19
Charging the Batteries The 2300NCP EXPANDABLE uses lithium polymer batteries. 1. Charge the unit before using the unit for the first time. 2. Do not charge the batteries near any flammable substances. 3. Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for a period of 3 months or more.
Page 20
Battery Charging Procedure Note: The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the Dogtra facility. Upon receipt of the collar, be sure to give it a full 2-hour initial charge before the first use. 1. Attach the charging cables to both the transmitter and receiver(s).
USING THE TEST LIGHT 1. Turn on the receiver/collar by placing the magnetic red dot on the back of the transmitter to the red dot on the receiver/collar. The indicator light will come on for a moment then blink once every 5 seconds, showing that the collar is ready to use (the receiver needs to be charged if the indicator light is red).

button is pressed. However, as a safety feature, the receiver/collar will automatically stop the stimulation if the Constant button is pressed for 12 seconds or longer. 6. Turn the Rheostat Dial on the transmitter clockwise and then counterclockwise. The test light should glow brighter with higher levels of stimulation and dimmer with lower levels.
If the collar is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.
