Setting The Sensitivity Of The Bark Sensor - Dog trace d-mute ONE Manual

Machine Translated by Google
NOTE: We recommend starting training with the collar set in the third mode - only acoustic
signal without stimulation impulse. Thus, the dog associates the function of the device
depending on its barking. Acoustic signals may not fulfill the function of correction in the
beginning, but they can still help the dog to understand that they always follow his barking.
More information about the function of individual modes can be found on our website

4.6 Setting the sensitivity of the bark sensor

The d-mute ONE collar detects barking using a special sensor that reacts to the vibrations of the
dog's vocal cords when barking (sometimes growling and whining) and does not react to the sound
made when barking. This prevents barking from being detected if another dog is barking nearby.
For the system to function properly, the correct bark detection sensitivity (level) must be set. The
sensitivity must be set so that the collar is activated only when the dog barks. If the sensitivity is
too high, the collar can be activated even if the dog is not barking. If the dog barks and the collar
does not respond to barking, the sensitivity is too low.
The sensitivity is set by applying the magnet to the white point marked with the letter S (sensitivity)
- Fig. 5 on page 4.
1. Place the magnet on the white dot on the collar marked S. It will start to sound
collar beeping.
2. Hold the magnet on the collar until the number of beeps indicating the desired sensitivity level
according to the table on page 4 is heard.
3. When you have counted the number of beeps according to the desired mode, move the magnet away
from the collar.
