How to check that your CANICOM 800/CANICOM 1500 is functioning properly


You can check that your CANICOM 800/CANICOM 1500 is operating correctly at any time.
- Before doing so, make sure that the receiver collar is turned « off ».
- Place the test lamp in contact with each of the contact points (by unscrewing them then by
screwing them up in order to grip wires of the test lamp under the contact points).
- Turn « on » the remote control and receiver collar you want to test.
- Select the receiver collar you want to test on the remote control:
For CANICOM 800: Press the A or B key in order to select the collar (the letter A or B will appear on the
LCD screen).
For CANICOM 1500 : Press the 1, 2, 3 or 4 key in order to select the collar (the number 1, 2, 3 or 4 will
appear on the LCD screen).
- Press the « F » or « C » button and modify the intensity level of stimulations: the test lamp will
light with more or less intensity.
Renew the same procedure for each receiver collar.

Getting the best results


The training instructions you give to your dog are sent from the remote control to the receiver collar by
radio waves. These radio waves are sensitive and the range reaches approximately 800 meters for the
CANICOM 800 and 1500 meters for the CANICOM 1500 (depending on geography and environment).
The performances of your CANICOM 800/CANICOM 1500 will be optimal if you respect the following
recommendations :
- To obtain a good radio range, do not cover the antenna when you hold the remote control in your
hand.
- The position of the receiver collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way: the
"On/Off" indicator is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
- Check the batteries (remote control and receiver collar) before using the unit and replace them
as soon as the level of load is weak.
- The performances of the batteries decrease slightly under temperatures lower than 0°C. If
possible keep the remote control warm (e.g. inside a pocket) before using it.

Fitting the collar


The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
- If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of
your dog. Furthermore, it will not function correctly.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
Do not leave the collar positioned at the same place for long periods (i.e. over 3 hours) because this can
cause irritations. If your dog must wear the collar for long periods, regularly change the position on
the neck of your dog. Regularly check your dog's neck as repeated rubbing of the contact points on the
dog's skin may cause irritation. If this happens, remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have
disappeared. Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours a day around your dog's neck and take the time
to check that there are no signs of irritation when your dog is not wearing it.
