Q: Do I need to charge both the transmitter and the receiver together?
A: No. The transmitter and the receiver can be charged separately if necessary.
Q: How can I tell if my transmitter needs to be recharged or the 9V battery replaced?
A: The transmitter indicator light will flash when the Continuous button is pressed.
Q: Can I change the operating mode on my transmitter?
A: Yes. Refer to the Program the Remote Transmitter section of your owner’s manual.
Q: Will the signal from my SportDOG® electronic trainer interfere with another SportDOG electronic trainer?
A: No. Each SportDOG system has its own frequency ID code so that other SportDOG systems will not experience conflicting signals.
Q: What is the rechargeable battery operating life of my transmitter or receiver?
A: Depending on frequency of use:
SD-400 Series transmitter or receiver
15 to 20 hours
SD-1200 though 3200 systems transmitters or receivers
40 to 80 hours
Q: If I am not going to use my SportDOG trainer for several weeks. Are there any precautions I need to take?
A: Your system should be fully charged every 6 weeks to keep the batteries viable.
Q: What can I do if my transmitter will no longer communicate with my receiver?
A: Follow the steps in the Resetting the Collar Receiver section in your owner’s manual.
Q: How do I program my receiver to the transmitter?
A: Refer to the Reset the Collar Receiver Section of your owner’s manual.
Q: Will it damage the receiver if my dog goes swimming?
A: No, your SportDOG receiver(s) are waterproof and submersible.
Q: How do I know if my collar is placed correctly on my dog?
A: You’ll need enough room to slip 2 fingers under the collar placed on the upper portion of your dog’s neck.
Q: Will the receiver that came with my system, only communicate with the transmitter model that came with the system?
A: Any of our SportDOG receivers will program to any of our SportDOG transmitters. Please refer to your Owners Product Guide for instructions on resetting the collar to the transmitter.
Q: If I unplug my unit after it is fully charged, and immediately plug it back in, will the unit start flashing again?
A: No. The flashing full charge indicator is based on a timer and will need to “cycle” again, even though the unit is fully charged.
Q: What if my unit(s) begin flashing while they are charging before the recommended charging time has completed?
A: Continue to leave your system on the charger for the full charging time as described in the manual.
Q: Can I have correction and tone for 2 receivers with the SD-1200?
A: No, you will lose the tone feature with 2 receivers.
Q: Can my dog wear his tags on the training collar?
A: We recommend that tags be located on the top of the collar. Metal tags coming in contact with the probes can drain the battery.
Q: Can I attach a leash, rope, chain, or other length of containment to the bark control collar?
A: We recommend you do not attach these to a bark control collar to avoid the probes protruding into the dog’s neck and risking damage to your dog.
Q: Can I leave the collar on 24 hours a day?
A: We recommend that collar be worn no more than 8 to 10 hours a day.
Q: Will another dog that is barking, cause my Deluxe NoBark 18 bark control collar to accidently correct my dog?
A: No the collar requires vibration and sound to activate.
Q: How many hours will my beeper run on the 3-volt lithium battery?
A: It should provide 60 to 100 hours of on time.
Q: Why does my beeper have a slight rattle?
A: That is the motion sensor inside the casing that signals the beeper to switch from run to point mode when Point/Run mode is selected.
Q: Why does the manual suggest a short loop test?
A: The short loop test provides information that assists with determining problems existing with the transmitter, receiver or a partial wire break.
Q: What is the difference between a partial break and a full break?
A: A partial break occurs when the wire is not completely broken, giving a weak signal through the wire. A full break will not allow the signal to be transmitted through the wire.
Q: Why is my transmitter beeping?
A: This is the wire break alarm and suggests there is a break in the wire.
Q: Will a Wire Break Locator find a partial break?
A: No. The Wire Break Locator is for a full break only.
Q: How do I find a partial break?
A: First, look at all splices. Look for any exposed wire or places where it may have been exposed.
