MAINTENANCE
Basic Maintenance
Make sure the rubber charging cap is securely in place
when the receiver is in use. After each training session,
carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage
to the casing. Damaged or broken casing may affect the
waterproof guarantee on the unit. After confirming that
there is no damage to the casing, rinse the receiver and
clean out any dirt or debris.
Storage Maintenance
The CUE should be fully charged before storing for
extended periods. While in storage, the unit should be
given a full charge once a month and before the first use.
Store the units in room temperature. Do not keep the units
exposed to extreme climates.
Troubleshooting
If the unit is malfunctioning, please refer to the
"Troubleshooting Guide" before sending it to Dogtra for
service. If you have any questions or concerns, you may
email them to info@dogtra.com, or call customer service at
(888) 811-9111.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. My dog is not reacting to the system.
- Make sure the receiver and transmitter are on.
- Make sure the collar strap is tight enough so both contact
points are touching the dog's skin.
- The contact points may be too short for your dog's thick
or long coat. You might need to trim down the hair on the
dog's neck, so both contact points are touching the skin.
- The intensity level may be too low for your dog. Keep
increasing the stimulation until the dog responds
usually by neck movement, head shaking, looking over
his shoulder, etc. (response may be very subtle so pay
attention.)
2. The LED indicator light comes on, but I do not feel any
stimulation.
– The battery may be low, so check the LED light for battery
life.
3. The transmitter has no range or stimulation is less when
the dog is farther away.
- The antenna(s) may be damaged. To order parts, please
contact customer service at (888) 811-9111 or go to
www.dogtra.com.
- The range indicated on the unit's box is for flat terrain.
Heavy brush, trees, hills, or moisture will affect the range
of your unit. For best range, hold the transmitter vertically
above your head, and/or try moving to higher ground.
