ON/OFF BUTTON: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Collar Receiver on and off.

THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING Three TYPES OF correction:

CONTINUOUS: You control both when and how long stimulation is delivered, up to a maximum of 9 seconds. After 9 seconds, the stimulation will “time out” and the Remote Transmitter button needs to be released and then pressed again before additional stimulation can be delivered.

MOMENTARY (NICK): Stimulation is delivered for 5/100 of a second, regardless of how long the button is pressed.

TONE: The Collar Receiver will make a rapid beeping noise when a Tone button is pressed.*
