Follow the steps below to charge your system: 1. Open the rubber plugs on the battery charging receptacles and plug in the charging cable. 2. Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet or, if using the auto charger, plug into a cigarette lighter only for lithium polymer batteries (use a 220 volt European charger for Europe).
USING THE TEST LIGHT 1. Turn on the receiver by placing the magnetic red dot on the back of the transmitter to the red dot on the receiver. The indicator light will come on for a moment then blink once every 4 seconds, showing that the receiver is ready to use (the receiver needs to be charged if the indicator light is red).

5. Watch the test light as you press the Constant button on the transmitter. It should light up as long as the button is pressed. However, as a safety feature, the receiver will automatically stop the stimulation if the Constant button is pressed for 12 seconds or longer. 6.
If the receiver is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses medical grade stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.
Page 23
Attention! Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the contact points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every few hours so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck and remove the...
FINDING THE RIGHT STIMULATION The 2300NCP EXPANDABLE has a Rheostat Dial on the top of the transmitter (0 is the lowest and 127 is the highest). Remember that you will need to adjust the setting (upward or downward) depending on your dog’s temperament and threshold for stimulation.
MAXIMIZING THE DISTANCE The 2300NCP EXPANDABLE has a range of 3/4-mile. Depending on the way you use your transmitter, the transmitter range may vary. To get the greatest range, hold the transmitter away from your body and avoid touching the antenna. Keep your unit properly charged for maximum signal strength.
Auto Charger The auto charger for the 2300NCP EXPANDABLE has an input of 12-volts to 24-volts and has an output of 10-volts 1500mAH. European Charger Dogtra’s European chargers are designed for use with a 220 volt AC electrical outlet.
