1. Attach the charging cables to both the transmitter and
receiver(s), as shown on page 50.
2. Plug the charger into a 230-volt wall outlet or if using
the accessory field charger, plug into a cigarette lighter
only for Lithium-Polymer batteries. When properly
plugged in, all indicator lights should glow red. During
the charging process, the unit will shut off. Once the
battery cable is unplugged from the unit after a full
charge, you will need to turn the unit on again before use.
3. The Lithium-Polymer battery is fully charged within
2 hours. The lights will stay red during the charging
process. The red light will change into a steady green light
when the battery is fully charged (when you disconnect
the charger after finishing the charge, you will need to
restart the unit).
4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles
with the rubber plugs on the transmitter and receiver/
collar.
NOTE : Only use Dogtra-approved batteries, chargers, and
accessories for your Dogtra e-collars. When a charger is
not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
