COLLAR FITTING

The collar should be fitted so that the contact points press firmly against
your dog's skin. When properly fitted, you should be able to fit a finger or
two snugly in between the contact points and your dog's skin. With a proper
fit, the collar should not move on your dog. The best location for the collar
box is either side of your dog's windpipe.
A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on your dog's neck. When
this happens, the contact points may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the
collar is too tight, your dog may have difficulty breathing.

FINDING THE RIGHT STIMULATION

· Open the Pathfinder app to the E-Collar tab and select your dog and
stimulation level.
· The stimulation levels are from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
· Always start at the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up.
· The appropriate level can be found when your dog responds to the
stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles.
Note : Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation.
Please look at your dog's reaction to find the right level of stimulation. The
stimulation level may vary depending on the situation and distractions. A
distracted dog will require a higher level of stimulation compared to when
there is no distraction.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE
CONTACT POINTS
The Dogtra Pathfinder comes equipped with standard 15 mm contact points that
can be extended to 19 mm contact points, for use with dogs with longer coats. To
increase the contact point length from 15 mm to 19 mm, follow the steps below.
1) Using the included adjustment tool with the side marked 15 mm, unscrew the
contact points counter-clockwise.
2) Place the contact point extension over the exposed threads, flat side down.
3) Place the contact points over the extensions and tighten the contact points and
extensions clockwise using the adjustment tool with the side marked 19 mm.
* Caution : Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over tighten.
To shorten the contact points back to the standard 15 mm, start with the
adjustment tool with the side marked 19 mm, remove the contact point
extensions, and tighten the contact points with the adjustment tool with the
side marked 15 mm.

ACQUIRING GPS SIGNAL

The Pathfinder is meant for use in open outdoor areas. After pairing, take
the GPS Collar outdoors to acquire a GPS signal. Once the signal is acquired,
the GPS Collar icon will appear on the Map tab of the Pathfinder app.
Operating the Pathfinder near tall buildings and other steel structures will
interfere with the reception of the GPS signal. Not acquiring a GPS signal for
prolonged periods of time while outside may indicate issues with the unit.
