Compensation for warmth: The tracking signal pitch sounds lower than normal. Hold
the 'IR button' down, and press once on the (-) button. The TCC-value changes from
'0' to '-1'. Note that the figure changes from the right side to the left in the display win-
dow symbolizing a negative value.
Rule of thumb: If the tracking signal pitch gets lower, then the receiver's TCC-value
should be reduced with the (-) button. If the tracking signal pitch gets higher, then the
receiver's TCC-value should be increased with the (+) button.
The set TCC-value is stored in the memory when the receiver is turned off. If the
channel is changed however, the TCC-value returns to the base value '0'.
4. Turning the transmitter on and off.
Contact™ is equipped with 'IR Remote', which means that the transmitter is turned on
and off solely by using the infrared beam from the receiver. This minimizes the risk
that any unauthorized person can shut off the transmitter. Furthermore, the transmitter
is free of any external power switch, which can be accidentally turned off.
The transmitter should be turned on prior to being placed on the dog and turned off
after the dog has been leashed.
1.
To turn the transmitter on requires that the receiver be turned on first.
(See: 2.Turning on the receiver and setting the channel).
2.
Shake the transmitter vigorously for a few seconds.
3.
Aim the receiver at the transmitter's IR-sensor, which is placed on the front
portion of the transmitter adjacent to the light-emitting diode.
4.
Press down on the 'IR button' (the dog symbol). FIGURE 2.
5.
The light-emitting diode on the transmitter should begin to flash
immediately when the transmitter is turned on. Also the tracking signal
should be audible from the receiver loudspeaker. If no signal is heard in the
loudspeaker be sure to control that the correct channel has been programmed in.
When turning off the transmitter the same procedure should be performed as explai-
ned above. Be sure to check that no signal is heard from the receiver and that the light-
emitting diode on the transmitter stops flashing.
OBSERVE:
• The distance between the receiver and transmitter when turning on and off should not
exceed 25 inches.
• If the transmitter lies still for more than 10 seconds, then it cannot be turned on or
off prior to being put in motion again. This is because the IR sensor, in order to
reduce power use, is only active when the transmitter is moving.
