1. Getting Started

Before using the Educator E-Collar Humane Dog Training Collar, please read this user manual carefully to ensure proper usage and understanding of the features. This training collar is designed to help train your dog effectively and humanely with low-level stimulation, tapping sensation, and Pavlovian tone.

2. Charging the Transmitter and Receiver

Both the transmitter and receiver require charging before use. The collar comes with a dual charger that allows simultaneous charging of both components. To charge, connect the charger to a power source and plug the charging cables into the transmitter and receiver. Charging takes approximately 2 hours for a full charge.

3. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

For optimal results and comfort, it's essential to fit the collar correctly on your dog. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure your dog's neck is clean and dry.
2. Place the collar on your dog's neck with the receiver positioned at the front of the neck, below the jawline.
3. Adjust the collar strap so that the contact points touch your dog's skin firmly but comfortably. You should be able to fit one finger between the contact points and your dog's skin.
4. Trim excess strap length if necessary, leaving at least an inch for future adjustments.

4. Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver

To pair the transmitter and receiver, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the transmitter by pressing and holding the power button until the LCD screen lights up.
2. Turn on the receiver by pressing and holding the power button until the LED light turns on.
3. Press and hold the transmitter's power button and the stimulation button (S) simultaneously until the receiver's LED light flashes.
4. Release both buttons. The transmitter and receiver are now paired and ready for use.

5. Using the Training Features

The Educator E-Collar offers various training features to help improve your dog's behavior:

• Stimulation Levels: Select a stimulation level between 1 and 100 by turning the dial on the transmitter. Use the lowest level that effectively gets your dog's attention.
• Boost Stimulus: Set a boost level between 1 and 60 by pressing the boost button (B) on the transmitter. This provides an additional level of stimulation for more challenging situations.
• Tapping Sensation: The collar delivers a tapping sensation similar to vibration but more intense, making it an effective addition to the stimulation.
• Pavlovian Tone: Press and hold the Pavlovian tone button (P) to emit a 1.5-second tone followed by stimulation. Dogs quickly learn to associate the tone with stimulation and respond accordingly.
• Tracking Light: The transmitter controls a tracking light on the receiver, allowing you to locate your dog in low light conditions. Press the light button (L) to activate the tracking light.

6. Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while using the Educator E-Collar, try the following troubleshooting tips:

• Transmitter or Receiver Not Turning On: Ensure both components are fully charged and that the power buttons are being pressed and held until the LED lights turn on.
• Transmitter Not Controlling Receiver: Ensure the transmitter and receiver are properly paired. If necessary, repeat the pairing process as described in section 4.
• Stimulation Not Effective: Check that the collar is fitted correctly, with the contact points touching your dog's skin. Adjust the stimulation level if necessary.
• Collar Causing Irritation: Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 8 hours at a time. Consider using hypoallergenic titanium contact points for dogs with nickel sensitivities.
