center. If the pin is wobbly, broken or missing, you will
need to send the unit in to the repairs department.
- The charging port must be clean prior to charging, clean
out any dirt with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol.
If your dog was in salt-water, be sure to rinse the receiver
and charging port with clean water.
- For Dogtra units over two years old from the purchase
date, the batteries may need to be replaced. You can replace
them yourself by contacting Dogtra for a replacement
battery. Damages incurred to the unit due to improper
battery installations are not covered under the warranty.
Dogtra strongly recommends sending the unit in for
inspection.
