2. Charging the E-Collar and Remote Transmitter

Before using the E-Collar ET-400 for the first time, fully charge both the collar and the remote transmitter using the provided charging cable. Charging time is typically less than 1 hour. The LED indicators on both devices will turn green when fully charged.

3. Assembling the Collar

Thread the bungee strap through the E-Collar, making sure the buckle is on the outside. Attach the appropriate contact points (short or long) to the collar, depending on your dog's fur thickness. For dogs with thick fur, use the longer contact points to ensure proper contact with the skin.

4. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are touching the skin. The collar should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck. Adjust the strap as needed for a proper fit.

5. Operating the Remote Transmitter

The remote transmitter has buttons for tone, vibration, and static stimulation. It also has an emergency button for immediate high-level static stimulation. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and their functions before using the collar on your dog. The remote has a range of up to 3/4 mile.

6. Training Your Dog

Use the E-Collar ET-400 in combination with verbal commands and positive reinforcement to train your dog. Start with the lowest level of static stimulation and gradually increase as needed. Most dogs respond well to levels between 6 and 10. Use the vibration and tone functions for additional training cues. Consult with a professional dog trainer for advice on effective training techniques.

7. Troubleshooting Tips

• If the collar is not responding to the remote transmitter, ensure both devices are fully charged and within range.
• If the collar is not providing effective stimulation, check that the contact points are properly touching your dog's skin and adjust the strap as needed.
• If the remote transmitter is not functioning properly, check for any physical damage and contact customer support for further assistance.
