DogWatch SmartCollar - Batteries; Setting the Receiver Levels

Your DogWatch Dealer will start the training on the appropriate level according to
your dog’s personality and traits. As training continues and your dog adjusts to the
Hidden Fence, the settings may need to be adjusted.
If you need to change the training level on the receiver, hold the magnet on your
Multi-Tool to the training level adjustment location on the side of the receiver (see
right). Hold the magnet steady and you will hear a series of beeps that indicate the
current training level. The training level will begin to advance while the magnet is
held in position. When you reach the desired setting, pull the magnet away from
the receiver.
“Audible Only” = 1 long beep
Level 1 = one short beep
Level 2 = two short beeps
Level 3 = three short beeps, etc.
When the magnet activates the receiver, the number of
beeps indicates the current training level.
As long as
the magnet is held in place, it will advance through the
receiver training level settings in the order shown in the
chart on the next page.
Note: Any magnet will activate the receiver.

Resetting the Low Battery Light
1. Remove the old battery.
2. Before inserting a new battery, let the SmartCollar
sit for five minutes with no battery. (If you forget
to wait prior to inserting a new battery, the “low
battery” light will continue to blink red until it
automatically resets itself after 24 hours.)
3. After five minutes, insert the new battery.
Battery Insertion Instructions
The SmartCollar is powered by a 3.6 volt lithium
battery with a battery life of up to 1 year.
The positive end of the battery must be inserted down.
IMPORTANT: The use of any battery other than a battery authorized by DogWatch Inc.
can cause erratic operation of the SmartCollar and could cause permanent damage.
The use of any unauthorized battery will void the warranty on the SmartCollar.

Features & Settings
Example: If the receiver is on Level 1 and the transmitter is on Rate 1, your dog will
receive the lowest level of correction and the least number of pulses per second.
Please, remember that if your Receiver Level is set to 1, 2, or 3 and you switch
the Training Mode to QuickAlert (Mode B), your training setting may change. For
example, if the receiver is set to Level 3 and the transmitter is set to Rate 1, your
dog will receive a slow correction. If you switch your Training Mode to QuickAlert,
your dog will now receive a fast correction.
PROGRAMMING TIPS
Recommended Settings: The majority of dogs respond well to Transmitter Rate
Setting 2 or 3 and a Receiver Training Level 3, 4 or 5. Sensitive or small dogs that
train easily respond best to lower rate settings and lower training levels. If your
dog is not responding to training, your DogWatch Dealer will adjust your system
to a higher training level.
If Your Dog Is Hard To Train: Training Levels 5, 6 and 7 are specifically designed
to meet the needs of hard to train or stubborn dogs. These settings will provide
the extra correction that some dogs need as part of their training.
Multiple Dogs: Our receivers allow you to select individual settings for each dog.
This means that one SmartCollar can be set to Audible Only* during training
while another dog is still protected with the correction feature enabled. It is
recommended that the Audible Only* setting be used only during supervised
training sessions.
