- Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet (120V AC).
- The LED indicator on both units will glow red during charging and turn green when fully charged.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from the units and the outlet.
Encaixant el collar
Proper collar fit is crucial for effective and humane operation.
- Position the receiver on the dog's neck so that the contact points are underneath, making direct contact with the skin.
- The collar should be snug enough to allow only one finger to fit comfortably between the strap and the dog's neck.
- A loose fit will prevent consistent contact and may cause skin irritation due to rubbing.
- Trim any excess collar strap if necessary, and seal the cut edge with a flame to prevent fraying.
