3. Charging the System

Before using the Dogtra iQ Plus e-collar, fully charge both the transmitter and receiver. To charge the system, connect the charger to the charging port on both the transmitter and receiver. The LED indicator on the transmitter and receiver will glow red while charging and turn green once fully charged. Charging typically takes 2 hours.

4. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

To ensure proper fit, place the collar on your dog's neck and adjust the strap so that it is snug but not too tight. The contact points should touch your dog's skin, but not cause discomfort. If necessary, trim your dog's fur around the contact points to ensure proper contact.

5. Operating the Transmitter

The transmitter features a front-facing dial, which allows for one-handed operation. Use the dial to adjust the correction levels between 0 and 100. The transmitter also has a selector switch to expand the system for use with up to 2 dogs. Press the "P" button to activate the pager vibration, or use the "N" and "C" buttons for Nick (quick ½-second) and Constant (up to 12 seconds) corrections.

6. Training Your Dog

Begin training your dog with the lowest correction level and gradually increase as needed. Use the pager vibration as a warning before applying a correction. Be consistent in your training and use verbal commands in conjunction with the e-collar. Remember to reward your dog for good behavior and be patient during the training process.

7. Troubleshooting Tips

• If the collar is not responding, check the battery charge and ensure the system is fully charged.
• Ensure the collar is properly fitted on your dog and the contact points are touching the skin.
• If the range seems limited, test the system in an open area free of obstructions.
• If the transmitter and receiver are not syncing, turn off both devices and restart them.
