6.6 Fitting the collar
Fit the collar with the GPS transmitter to the
dog so that the GPS and RF aerials are pointing
upwards (see figure). The collar must be
sufficiently tightened as not to rotate on the dog's
neck but to enable the dog to naturally breathe
and receive food. Appropriately tightened collar
is essential for accurate sensing and indication of
dog barking. If the training module (X30T/X30TB kit) is part of the transmitter, it is
essential to ensure good contact between the contact points and the dog's skin. We
recommend fitting the collar on a dog at rest. If the dog has long or dense hair, it is
advisable to cut the coat at the point where contact points touch the skin or use the
longer contact points. Long-term effects caused by the collar on the dog's skin may
cause irritation. If this occurs, do not use the DOG GPS until all traces of irritation
disappear.
WARNING: If the collar is too loose, the transmitter is likely to move and repeated
friction may irritate your dog's skin. Furthermore, in this case, the contact points
may not touch the skin surface in required manner and consequently, the
training module may not function correctly. We do not recommend keeping the
dog's collar at the same place for several hours as it could cause skin irritation. If it
is necessary for your dog to wear the collar for a long time, change the position of
the transmitter on the neck regularly. If the collar with the transmitter is too tight,
it may cause pressure sores where the contact points touch the skin. If this occurs,
do not use the training module until all traces of irritation disappear.

7.1 Charging the receiver
GPS transmitter includes Li-Pol battery, which must
be charged before the first use.
1. Remove dirt from charging contacts. Connect the
charging clip to the receiver (see figure).
2. Connect cable to the power adapter, which is
then plugged into the mains.
3. Display shows gradually increasing number of
horizontal bars in the battery symbol.
4. Charging takes approximately 3 hours.
5. Battery is fully charged when the battery symbol
is full – see below.
WARNING: Charge the battery at temperatures between 0 °C to 40 °C. Use only
the original power adapter supplied by the manufacturer for charging as using
