ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safety and correct functioning every time you use the collar. • All electronic collars need to be • • • • very snug to work properly. They must be just tight enough to allow the “prongs” or electrodes to make good skin contact. If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly because good skin contact is not being achieved.

PARTS & FUNCTIONS - COLLAR Collar Receiver TURNING ON AND OFF Turning the Unit On: Press and hold the On/Off button on the Collar Receiver. The Red LED Indicator will light solidly for two seconds. Continue holding the Button until the Red light goes off. The unit is now On. The LED Indicator will now flash approximately every two seconds. (Note: The Transmitter is always in a permanent sleep state. It is only On when a button is being pressed, and does not need to be turned off by the user).
PARTS & FUNCTIONS CONT. Intensity Selection Dial The intensity selection dial allows you to choose between sixteen different levels of stimulation, allowing for very precise control. Transmitter Indicator Light When one of the push button switches on the transmitter is pushed, the RED light will turn on to indicate that the transmitter is being operated. When the battery needs charging the RED light will blink once every 1/2 second while holding the continuous stimulation button.
PARTS & FUNCTIONS CONT. Vibration Buttons (H2O 1820/1822/1823) Pressing the button on the left (#1) of the transmitter causes the collar to vibrate. Pressing the button to the right (#2) of the transmitter causes the collar to vibrate for 1/2 second. After 1/2 second, continuous stimulation will be applied simultaneously with the Positive Vibration. Jump Button (H2O 1830/1832/1833) Pressing the button on the left (#1) of the transmitter causes the collar to administer a ‘Jump’ Stimulation.
PARTS & FUNCTIONS CONT. Battery Charging Receptacles The battery charging receptacle is located on the side of the Transmitter, and on the side of the Collar Receiver facing the dog’s neck. After charging, always close the jack with the rubber plug to prevent foreign particles from getting inside the unit. Collar Indicator Light When the Collar Receiver is turned on, the RED light will flash steadily once every two seconds to indicate that the unit is active.
BATTERIES All H2O Series TM collars are equipped with rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. NiMH batteries are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion before recharging. The batteries come partially charged from the factory. However, it is recommended that you give the battery a full charge (about 12 hours) before the first use. Remember - Always keep batteries away from flammable substances (especially when charging).
TRAINING INTENSITY LEVEL The first and most important step in training your dog with your H2O Training System is determining the correct Intensity Level to provide the proper training stimulation without over-shocking your dog. To do this place the Collar on the dog’s neck and turn it on. Place the Intensity Selection dial so that the System is set on Level One. Press either the ‘NICK’ or the ‘CONT’ Button. Increase the Intensity Level in increments of one until the dog is feeling the stimulation.
TRAINING INTENSITY LEVEL Setting the Jump Stimulation Level: (H2O 1830/1832/1833 only) 1. Set the intensity level to the level that you would like it to “jump” to 2. On the transmitter, press and hold buttons #1 and #2 (‘Jump’ and ‘Rise’ buttons) at the same time. 3. When you see the LED flashing, release both buttons. The number of times the LED light flashes shows you the intensity level for the Jump Stimulation. 4.
PROGRAMMING THE COLLAR Press and hold the power button on the Collar Receiver. You will see the LED light on the collar blink 7 times before staying solid. You must hold down the power button until the LED light becomes solid. Simultaneously, press and release the nick and continuous buttons. In a few seconds, you will see the LED light blink 3 times. The collar ID is now programmed, and the collar receiver is now ON.
TESTING To Test the Vibration: (H2O 1820/1822/1823 only) A) Follow the directions for testing the Electronic Stimulation, and press the button on the left side of the transmitter. B) If you press the button on the right side of the transmitter, the unit should vibrate for 1/2 second and then the tester should light while vibrating at the same time. To Test the Beeper: (H2O 1850/1852/1853 only) A) Press the button located on the left side of the transmitter (Locate button).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES • Before beginning training, your dog should be examined by a veterinarian to assure that your dog is in good health. • Never leave your dog unattended with the unit on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a very slight possibility that your dog may receive an unintentional electric stimulation. • Your H2O Series TM training collar is a very valuable tool if used correctly.
MAINTENANCE • It is very important to periodically clean your H2O Series TM systems for maximum performance. Regular cleaning will also lengthen the life of your unit. • Clean the H2O Series TM collar box with lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap. • Take care to thoroughly clean the space between the electrodes and the belt. • The belt and buckle should be cleaned with water and a mild soap then allowed to dry completely. • Always allow the entire unit to completely dry before using.
