Page 11: Installing The Collar Strap
INSTALLING THE COLLAR STRAP Your Remote Trainer is shipped with the receiver separate from the collar strap. Install the strap as shown. On multi-dog units (the Multi•Sport ® Multi•Sport ® ), be sure to install the correct color strap on each receiver. Use the strap that matches the colored dot on the receiver. -
Page 12: Selecting Contact Point Length
SELECTING CONTACT POINT LENGTH Your Remote Trainer comes with two sets of contact points – long and short. The shorter points are installed in the unit at the factory and are suitable for most coat lengths. For dogs with especially long hair or thick undercoats, the long contact points will give the best possible contact. -

Page 15: Setting The Intensity
SETTING THE INTENSITY Your Remote Trainer can give corrections at different intensity levels, so you can match the level of correction to both the training situation and your dog’s temperament. To adjust intensity level before or during training, use the intensity dial on the top of the transmitter. -
Page 16: Using The Stimulation Buttons
USING THE STIMULATION BUTTONS ® ® All Sport Series models other than the Multi•Sport ® Multi•Sport offer two types of stimulation, “continuous” and “momentary.” The black button(s) applies momentary stimulation. The red button(s) applies continuous stimulation. ® ® Multi•Sport and Multi•Sport models offer continuous stimulation only. -
Page 17: The "N" Setting
The intensity level when you correct each dog will be the one indicated by the intensity dial. Therefore, when training more than one dog using a Multi•Sport ® or Multi•Sport ® transmitter, you should check the intensity dial before correcting a different dog. By doing this, you can be sure that the intensity is what you want for that dog's correction. -

BATTERY CARE ® The Sport Series Remote Trainers have rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries in the collar, and one replaceable 9-volt battery in the transmitter.

You can also contact our Customer Service Department for additional protective covers. Use only the correct Tri-Tronics charger to charge your collar. Using the wrong type of charger may damage batteries or the collar itself. Do not charge batteries that are not installed in a collar. -
Page 21: Storing A Remote Trainer
When your collar batteries do need to be replaced, you can replace them yourself with parts obtained from Tri-Tronics. Follow the instructions that come with the replacement battery pack. Contact your local officials to find out whether any special disposal requirements applying to used NiMH batteries are in effect where you live. -
