Activity Sensor; Bark Indicator And Tree Switch (Optional) - Contact RX-9700 Mode D'emploi

• In the case of strong sunlight, both transmitter and receiver should be turned on/off
in the shade to allow the IR sensor on the transmitter to register the infrared beam
from the receiver.
5. Collar with reflective tape.
For the dog to wear the collar with as little obstruction in movement as possible, then
the collar should be tightened properly. There should be a maximum space of one
finger between the neck and the collar. It is important that the end of the collar is slid
properly into the metal buckle so that the lock doesn't open if something should get
fastened in the end of the collar. It is suggested that the collar end be clipped off so
that it isn't unnecessarily long, and that the collar be marked with the owner's name
and telephone number using a waterproof marker. The collar is easy to replace if it
becomes worn.

6. Activity sensor.

The activity sensor shows if the dog is in motion or for some reason standing still. If
the dog is moving, this is indicated by a rapid signal pulse (1 signal per second, see: 8.
Signal diagram). If the dog is motionless for more than 10 seconds, then the signal
pulse changes to a somewhat slower tempo (1 signal every other second, see 8: Signal
diagram). In general, the slower signal (1 signal every other second) should be used as
a 'warning light', because a dog normally shouldn't remain still during a hunt. If the
slower signal is heard, then for safety's sake the dog should be found and checked out
immediately. For hunts with pointing dogs, the activity sensor is a good tool for deter-
mining whether a dog is pointing or not.

7. Bark indicator and Tree switch (optional).

With the help of the Bark indicator using the dog's actual barking you can determine
what the dog is doing, even when the dog is outside your own range of hearing. By
exchanging the regular battery compartment on the transmitter to a compartment with
a built-in Bark indicator you can change transmitter type. The Bark indicator has a
built-in microphone, which registers the dog's bark. Each bark emits a special 'chir-
ping' signal from the receiver (see: 8. Signal diagram). When the special signal is
heard from the receiver it means that the dog's bark is registering. Please observe that
the Bark indicator can only register up to a maximum of 150 barks per minute. Thus,
even dogs that bark faster will only indicate 150 barks per minute on the receiver.
When delivered, the Bark indicator microphone is pre-set for 'normal' barking.
However, dog barks can vary greatly in pitch, sound and strength. Therefore the Bark
indicator can be adjusted to allow it to be dependable for all types of dogs. An adjust-
ment screw is located on the inside of the battery compartment and to get at it, will
require that the 4 screws holding the battery compartment in place are taken out, and
