TRANSMITTER

Attaching the Antenna. Screw the threaded end of the

antenna into the threaded opening at the top of the

transmitter. Tighten by hand. A small wrench may also

be used, but do not over-tighten the antenna. With the

antenna attached, the range of the Sportsman will be

up to one-half mile in flat, open terrain. Don’t attempt

to use the transmitter without the antenna attached.

Setting the Rocker Switches. The upper rocker switch

on the back of the transmitter is used to set the collar

to produce either continuous (C) or momentary (M)

stimulation. When the upper switch is set to M, the

lower rocker switch can be used to set the length of the

pulse the dog feels. The HI setting is about four times

as long as the LO setting. The dog will feel both as brief

bursts of stimulation, but HI will feel stronger than LO.

Three combinations are possible

by setting the rocker switches.

• Upper rocker on C – pressing the stimulation button

produces continuous stimulation. The HI/LO rocker

switch has no effect. It may be in either position.

• Upper rocker on M and lower rocker on LO –

pressing the stimulation button produces low-level

momentary stimulation.

• Upper rocker on M and lower rocker on HI –

pressing the stimulation button produces higher-level

momentary stimulation.

See the section “Operating the Sportsman” on page 12 for

information about continuous and momentary modes.

Another way to control the strength of stimulation is

to change the variable intensity contact point in the

collar. Doing this will change the strength of both the

continuous and the momentary stimulation.

See the section “Contact Points” on page 14 for a

discussion of this feature. Also see pages 16 and 17

for tips on what intensity levels to use for training.
