Changing The Contact Points; Checking The Device Operates Properly; Collar Adjustment - Num'axes CANICALM EXCEL Manual De Instrucciones

Due to greater use during your dog's training, the first battery may not last as long as replacement
batteries.

Changing the contact points


Two different series of contact points are supplied. The length of the contact points must be sufficient
to have proper contact with the dog's skin, enabling the device to operate correctly (proper barking
detection and correct transmission of the stimulations).
If you have a long-haired dog and the short contact points fitted to the collar in the factory are
inadequate, remove and replace them with the long ones supplied with the kit.
Carefully tighten them manually (do not use a key).

Checking the device operates properly


You can check that your collar is functioning properly at any time using the following procedure:
- Before doing so, make sure the collar is turned Off (indicator light off).
- Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact point (unscrewing them lightly and
retightening them so as to pinch the test lamp wires under the contact points).
- Turn On the collar with the magnetic key (Warning : after being activated, the collar remains in
stand-by for 1 minute).
- Make a streaked object (ex. knife with teeth and isolated sleeve) slide on the bark detection contact
point (ref. Diagram 1). Modify the barking detection sensitivity if it's necessary.
- The collar should emit beep sounds and the test lamp should light (on operating mode Nr 1, the test
lamp will not light - mode Nr 1 is the «beep sound only» mode).
- Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the collar is turned Off (indicator light off).

Collar adjustment


Collar adjustment is very important. In fact, this setting determines the proper barking detection and
the correct transmission of the stimulations.
The strap should be adjusted so that the contact points come right into contact with the dog's skin:
- If the strap is too loose, the collar will not operate properly. Moreover, the collar is likely to move
and repeated friction can irritate your dog's skin.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (ref. § Changing
the contact points).
