Maintenance

It is important to keep the device clean. Clean the contact points regularly, avoid using any detergent
that contains strong chemicals. To clean your Dogtrace d-control use a soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral detergent. The transmitter is not waterproof, so use caution when operating your
device in wet conditions, water can cause irreversible damage to your transmitter. The receiver is
waterproof. The receiver case is provided with a seal that forms a waterproof barrier between the lid
and main housing of the case. If the seal is loose, out of alignment or twisted, it will compromise the
waterproof integrity of the case. Lubricating the seal with a thin layer of silicone grease will increase its
lifespan. We recommend replacing the seal in the receiver every year. It is recommended to remove
the battery from the receiver, if the device will not be in use for a month or longer.
TIP
While using the device, it is recommended to check periodically that screws in the receiver
lid are tightened correctly.
