Both units use readily available 9-volt Duracell batteries.
TESTING THE UNIT
Rotate the coin slot dial approximately � turn clockwise on each unit
using a quarter or dime until the red LEDs flash. The units are now
ready to use. We ship them programmed with a 2.5-minute delay and a
hawk scream point signal. Hold the dog's transmitter still with the
speaker pointing upward (like it was on the dogs neck) for 8 seconds.
You will hear a beep emitting from the receiver. If you leave it
still for 2.5 minutes a hawk scream will sound from the dogs
transmitter. Shake the dogs unit up and down like a dog running and
cycle starts over again. Turn the units off by rotating the dials
back � turn counterclockwise or until the LEDs stop flashing.
PROGRAMMING THE UNIT
For battery replacement and access to the programming dip switch,
remove the four bottom cover plate screws and remove the cover plate.
Remove the battery by pulling on the nylon tape pull-tab. The
transmitter switch has 8 positions and the receiver has 4. Switches 1
thru 4 on both units can be any combination of OFF or ON but they must
match. If you have a 2-dog unit, the transmitter and both receiver
positions 1 thru 4 have to be the same. These are you 16 different ID
codes. Switch 5 in the transmitter (dogs unit) adjusts the point beep
delay of 2.5 or 5 minutes. Up is 2.5 minutes, down in 5 minutes.
Switch 6 is not used. Switch 7 is hawk scream or regular beep point
signal. Up is hawk scream and down is just a beep. Switch 8 allows
you to totally defeat the point beep. Up is point beep on after the
predetermined time, and down is no point beep at any time.
The battery voltage is directly proportional to the volume of the
beeper. If you notice a dramatic reduction in volume or loudness,
replace the battery then. The batteries will last for about 100
hours. If you use a quality ALKALINE battery, a weekend hunter can go
all seasons using the same battery. The Duracell battery was the
brand chosen when the molds were designed, therefore they fit the
best.
