1. Attach the charging cables to both the transmitter and
receiver(s), as shown on page 17.
2. Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet or if using
the accessory eld charger, plug into a cigarette lighter
only for Lithium-Polymer batteries (use a 230-volt
European charger for Europe.). When properly plugged
in, all indicator lights should glow red. During the
charging process, the unit will shut o. Once the battery
cable is unplugged from the unit after a full charge,
you will need to turn the unit on again before use.
3. The Lithium-Polymer battery is fully charged within
2 hours. The lights will stay red during the charging
process. The red light will change into a steady green light
when the battery is fully charged (when you disconnect
the charger after nishing the charge, you will need to
restart the unit).
4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles
with the rubber plugs on the transmitter and receiver/
collar.
NOTE : Only use Dogtra-approved batteries, chargers, and
accessories for your Dogtra e-collars. When a charger is not
in use, disconnect it from the power source.

the on/o button.

The LCD battery life indicator shows 3 bars at full charge,
2 bars at medium charge and 1 bar when it needs to be
charged. The battery life indicator only species the
remaining charge for your transmitter. To nd the remaining
charge for your receiver, observe the LED indicator on the
receiver/collar.
Green = full charge
Amber = medium charge
Red = needs charge
Care for LCD Transmitters in Cold Temperature
In cold temperatures (10 degrees F or below), the Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) on your transmitter may be dim
or slow to respond. Wait until the display becomes visible
before selecting any training level. Even though the LCD
screen might be dim or slow to respond when you push the
Nick or Constant button, the transmitter will still function
properly. In the occurrence of extremely cold weather, the
LCD screen might take a moment to respond causing the
intensity level to freeze at that current level. In this situation,
if you turn the rheostat intensity dial, the level on the screen
may not change but the actual intensity from the receiver/
collar will change in agreement with the dial. In this
situation, it is ideal to either wait until your transmitter is
back to working order before emitting a correction, or while
holding the constant button down slowly turn the Rheostat
Intensity Dial while watching your dog’s reaction. Do not
turn the Rheostat Intensity Dial at a rapid increase because
the receiver/collar will emit a static correction based on the
level of the Rheostat Intensity Dial, which might not be
correctly reected on the LCD screen.
