the gray receptacle plug when charging is complete to ensure waterproofness.
• Always charge the collar at or near room temperature. Charging at low or high temperatures can
reduce battery life.
• The low battery indicator is a blinking red light, once every 5 seconds. Always charge the collar when
the low battery indicator first appears.
• The long-life battery will self-discharge at the rate of 1 percent per day. Therefore, when not using the
system, it is best to store it with a full charge. It is recommended to recharge the collar receiver every
month, even when not in use.
BC-50E: Use a coin or slotted screwdriver to loosen the battery screw cap on the side of the receiver, turning
it counterclockwise. Install the battery with positive (+) side up, and replace the battery screw cap.
STEP 3
TEST THE NO-BARK COLLAR
Prior to placing the collar on your dog, test the collar for proper functioning. Make sure that the No-Bark
Collar is powered up.
To test, gently rub the probe tips on a hard non-glass surface like a tabletop. A red light indicates that the
unit is sensing vibration and delivering stimulation. Remember the unit must detect a 2 second quiet period
before it can deliver the next stimulus; the quiet period is noted with a series of very rapid light flashes. Only
when certain the collar is working properly should you place the collar on your dog.
To reset the BC-50E: Remove the battery, wait at least one minute, then replace it. The unit must be at its
baseline Level 1.
To reset the BC-200E: Remove the receptacle plug and attach the charger. Allow the BC-200E to charge for
5 minutes minimum to reset the unit to its baseline Level 1.
STEP 4
YOUR DOG'S FIRST SESSION
It's important to think of your dog's first session with the collar as a calibration or alignment exercise.
Remember that it may take several barks for your dog to begin detecting the level of stimulation appropriate
for its temperament.
If you successfully tested the unit and saw one red light, reset the unit now as described at the end of Step
3. The unit must be at its baseline Level 1 for the first session.
Place the collar on your dog, adjusting the fit so that the probes are one inch above or below the dog's vocal
cords (see Step 1). Let the dog wear the collar for 30 minutes or so before introducing it to a barking
distraction.
Monitor your dog carefully during this first session. Remember it may take several barks for the unit's Auto-
Set feature to deliver the stimulation appropriate for your dog's tolerances and temperament. Note the unit
will not increase the stimulation level or produce additional corrections unless the time between barks is at
