on, or the system will not stay on when
any button is pressed.

NOTE 1: Only use Dogtra-approved
batteries, chargers, and accessories for
your Dogtra e-collars. This will prevent
any damage that can be incurred from
attempting to use a different charger.
NOTE 2: The unit has a partial charge
when it leaves the Dogtra facility. Upon
receipt of the system, be sure to give
it a full 2-hour initial charge before
the first use away from any flammable
substances.
NOTE 3: When a charger is not in use,
disconnect it from the power source.
Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to
be stored without use for a period of 3
months or more.
Follow the steps below to charge your
system:
1. Open the rubber plug on the battery
charging receptacle on the transmitter
and plug in the charging cable.
To charge the receiver, use the cradle
charger and attach it using the
instructions on the following page.
2. Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall
outlet or, if using the auto charger,
plug into a cigarette lighter only for
lithium polymer batteries (use a 220
volt European charger for Europe).
All indicator lights should glow red
when properly charging and the unit
will automatically shut off during the
charging process. You will need to turn
the unit on again before use once the
unit is fully charged and unplugged
from the battery cable.
3. The lithium polymer battery is fully
charged within 2 hours. The lights will
stay red during the charging process
and turn green once the unit is fully
charged.
4. After charging, cover the battery
charging receptacle on the transmitter
with the rubber plug and detach the
cradle charger from the receiver.
