PARTS & FUNCTIONS Intensity Selection Dial The intensity selection dial can be set from level 1 to level 16 to find the exact stimulation level for your dog (see page 16). Transmitter Antenna Be sure to check that the antenna is securely fastened to the transmitter before each use. Handtightened only. Be careful when screwing the antenna into the transmitter. Over-tightening the antenna can cause damage to the antenna or the antenna mount.
PARTS & FUNCTIONS Remote Training Buttons Pressing the “NICK” button will make the collar give a Momentary, or ‘Nick’ Stimulation. Pressing the “CONT” button gives a Continuous Stimulation. Pressing the red button on the left side will make the collar Vibrate only. Collar Selecting Switch Switching between collar units can be controlled by moving the toggle selection switch to the desired unit.
PARTS & FUNCTIONS Collar Indicator Light When the Collar Receiver is turned on, the Red LED light will flash steadily once every two seconds to indicate that the unit is active. The Red LED light changes to a rapid flash when the battery is in need of charging. The Red LED light stays lit while plugged into the charger. Red Mark on the Collar Unit The Red Mark indicates the location of the Magnet Switch in the receiver.
PARTS & FUNCTIONS Contacts Contacts should fit snugly against the dog’s neck to ensure good contact with the skin. For more information on the proper fit of the collar, see page 15. Battery Charging Receptacles The battery charging receptacles are located on the side of the Collar Receiver. After charging, always close the jack with the rubber plug to prevent foreign particles from getting inside the unit. NOTE The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into the charging receptacle.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES Micro-iDT™ PLUS Series collars are equipped with rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion before recharging. Although batteries come partially charged from the factory, it is recommended that they are given a full charge (about 12 hours) before initial use. The transmitter uses a 9-volt replaceable battery (not included). Be sure to pay attention to the “+” and “-” charges when inserting the battery.
TURNING ON AND OFF The Transmitter is always in a permanent sleep state. It is only ON when a button is being pressed and does not need to be turned off by the user. Turning the Collar Unit On: Hold the Red Mark (Magnet Indicator) on the left side of the transmitter directly against the Red Mark (Magnetic Switch Indicator) on the front of the collar receiver. The Red LED Indicator will light solid for a second. Remove the transmitter from the collar unit when the LED light begins to flash.
TESTING NOTE: Before testing, make sure that both units are fully charged and the power to the Collar Receiver is “ON”. To Test the Electronic Stimulation: 1. Place the tester firmly on the contacts of the Collar Receiver. 2. Set the intensity (note - an intensity level setting of 4 or less might not be enough to light the tester). 3. Push the ‘NICK’ or ‘CONT’ button. 4.
PROGRAMMING When adding an “Add-On” collar, the collar will need to be programmed to the transmitter. If your current collar unit is not responding to the transmitter, it may also need to be reprogrammed to the transmitter. 1. Select the desired Collar Selecting Switch position on the transmitter. 2. Hold the Red Mark (Magnet Indicator) on the Transmitter directly against the Red Mark (Magnetic Switch Indicator) on the front of the Collar Receiver. 3.
PROPERLY FITTING THE COLLAR NOTE: Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safe and consistent collar use. All electronic collars need to be very snug around the dog’s neck to work properly. They must be just tight enough to allow the “contacts” or electrodes to make good contact on your dog’s skin. If the collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly because good/consistent skin contact is not being achieved.
SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL It is very important to set the correct intensity level on your Micro-iDT PLUS Training System before beginning your training sessions to provide the proper level of stimulation without over-stimulating your dog. 1. Place the Intensity Selection dial so that the system is set on Level 1. 2. Turn on the Collar and then fit it properly around your dog’s neck. 3. Press either the ‘NICK’ or the ‘CONT’ Button and check for a reaction.
MAINTENANCE It is very important to periodically clean your MicroiDT™ PLUS Series systems for maximum performance. Regular cleaning will also lengthen the life of your unit. • Clean the Micro-iDT™ PLUS Series collar box with lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap. • Take care to thoroughly clean the space between the electrodes and the belt. • The belt and buckle should be cleaned with water and a mild soap then allowed to dry completely.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES • Before training, your dog should be examined by a veterinarian to assure that your dog is in good health. • Never leave your dog unattended with the unit on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a very slight possibility that your dog may receive an unintentional electric stimulation. • Your Micro-iDT™ PLUS Series training collar is a very valuable tool if used correctly.
