PARTS & FUNCTIONS Collar LED Indicator Light When the Collar Receiver is turned on, the Red LED light will flash steadily once every two seconds to indicate that the unit is active. The Red LED light changes to a rapid flash when the battery is in need of charging.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES All CDT PLUS Series units are equipped with rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. NiMH batteries are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion before recharging. The batteries come partially charged from the factory. However, it is recommended that the batteries are given a full charge (about 12 hours) before initial use.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES NOTE Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on av- erage depending on use and care. Do not overcharge your unit (12 hour maximum charge time). Do not store your unit without a charge for extended periods of time. Do not store your unit in extreme heat/cold or moist/humid conditions.
TESTING NOTE: Before testing, make sure that both units are fully charged and the power to the Collar Receiver is “ON”. To Test the Electronic Stimulation: A) Place the tester firmly on the contacts of the Collar Receiver. B) Set the intensity (note - an intensity level setting of 4 or less might not be enough to light the tester).
PROGRAMMING THE COLLAR When adding an “Add-On” collar, the collar will need to be programmed to the transmitter. If your current collar unit is not responding to the transmitter, it may also need to be reprogrammed to the transmitter. 1. Select the desired Collar Selecting Switch position on the transmitter.
PROPERLY FITTING THE COLLAR NOTE: Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safe and consistent collar use. All electronic collars need to be very snug around the dog’s neck to work properly. They must be just tight enough to allow the “contacts”...
SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL It is very important to set the correct intensity level on your CDT PLUS Training System before beginning your training sessions to provide the proper level of stimulation without over-stimulating your dog. To do this, place the Intensity Selection dial so that the system is set on Level 1.
MAINTENANCE It is very important to periodically clean your CDT PLUS Series systems for maximum performance. Regular cleaning will also lengthen the life of your unit. • Clean the CDT PLUS Series collar box with lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap. •...
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES • Before training, your dog should be examined by a veterinarian to assure that your dog is in good health. • Never leave your dog unattended with the unit on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a very slight possibility that your dog may receive an unintentional electric stimulation.
