Is this system waterproof?
Yes, both the handheld remote and receiver collar are waterproof. However, if you submerge either device in water for an extended period of time (longer than one minute), you will void your warranty. If you accidentally drop it in water or get caught in a rainstorm with it on, just wipe it off with a towel and let it air dry before using it again.
How long does the battery last?
The battery lasts about 2 weeks if used 2 hours per day on level 8 stimulation (the highest level). If you use lower levels of stimulation or if you use it less frequently, then the battery will last longer. If your dog is particularly stubborn or hard-headed and requires higher levels of stimulation for training, then you may need to replace the battery more often than every two weeks.
How do I know when I need to replace my batteries?
You will know when your batteries need replacing because your receiver collar will begin beeping every few seconds when you press your button to activate it. This is a low battery warning that tells you that your batteries should be replaced soon. When this happens, go ahead and replace them right away so that they don’t die in the middle of training!
How do I change my batteries?
First remove your old batteries by gently prying them out with a small screwdriver or other similar tool (they should pop right out). Then insert your new batteries as shown in Figure 3a below (positive side up), making sure that they are oriented correctly (as shown in Figure 3b below). Your new batteries should last about 2 weeks if used 2 hours per day on level 8 stimulation (the highest level). If you use lower levels of stimulation or if you use it less frequently, then the battery will last longer. If your dog is particularly stubborn or hard-headed and requires higher levels of stimulation for training, then you may need to replace the battery more often than every two weeks.
