TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The Sportsman should require little service if properly

maintained. In addition, many usage problems can

be avoided by proper selection of contact points and

correct collar tightness.

If you do have problems, however, check this

trouble-shooting guide before calling for service.

You could save yourself time and repair costs.

PROBLEM # 1: The Sportsman doesn’t have enough

range or the range has been reduced.

You are holding the transmitter too close to your

body. Holding the transmitter close to your body will

interfere with the RF (radio signal) being transmitted.

If you experience range problems, try holding the

transmitter away from your body, and in extreme

cases, up above your head with the antenna pointed

straight up.

Either you or the dog are shielded by a metal

structure. Metal fences or chain link dog enclosures,

screen doors, buildings, and metal structures, will affect

the transmission signal. Operate the Sportsman away

from these structures.

The terrain or foliage is affecting the transmission.

Try moving 10-20 yards in any direction to improve

transmission; move to higher ground. Check the

range in flat, open terrain before sending the unit

in for repair.

Temporary radio interference. Wait a short while

then try again, or move to another area. Page 19.

The receiver is on backwards. Position the collar

so that the red LED faces forward. Page 15.
