It also gives you a status on how much charge is remaining in the battery during use, when it needs charging, and when the batteries will need to be replaced. from the transmitter, the collar may need to be reprogrammed to the transmitter (see page 16).
CHARGING THE BATTERIES TURNING ON AND OFF All R.A.P.T. Series TM collar units 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 is always in a permanent sleep state.
