Quick Start for Training Screw the prongs onto the receiver-collar, plug the charger supplied into the DC port of the receiver-collar and charge for up to 3 hours for the first few times. When the charger is plugged into the DC port the receiver-collar will B-Beep and Vibrate once to indicate that charging has started. At the same time the red LED light will turn on. When it is fully charged the blue LED light will turn on. After the charger is unplugged it will B-Beep and vibrate once and the blue LED light will go off. The red LED light will stay on to remind the operator to synchronise the receivercollar with the transmitter as soon as possible. In order to ensure the submersible feature, the waterproof rubber charging lid should be re-inserted tightly after charging. Select dog one or dog two on the transmitter. Press and hold on the On/Off button on the receiver-collar for 3 seconds, the red LED light will turn on, at the same time the receiver-collar will beep and vibrate once, then press any button on transmitter and the receiver-collar will be synchronised with transmitter. The blue LED light will flash every 10 seconds to indicate the receiver-collar is in working mode. Press the On/Off button three times, the receiver-collar will do a self-test to check whether beep, vibrate and shock functions are in working condition or not. Thread the PVC collar through the collar loops on the sides of the receiver-collar, adjust to an appropriate length then put it around your dog’s neck with the receiver on the underside of the neck. You can then start to train your dog. The probes must be touching your dog’s skin. An ideal collar tightness allows you to get one finger down in between the collar and your dog’s neck. Note: Fully charge the collars and transmitter if they have not been in use for some time. Transmitter Setting A quick press of one of the 3 buttons will wake up your transmitter if there is power remaining in the battery. If there is no power remaining, plug the charger into the DC port of the transmitter and it will start to charge. At the same time the power remaining icon will cycle from low to high to indicate charging is in progress. By pressing the M button you can choose dogs 0, 1 or 2 that you want to train. Please note that 0 selects both dogs at the same time. 2
By pressing up or down the M button you can increase or reduce the beep, vibrate and shock levels. A quick press of the B-beep, Vibrate or Shock buttons will create a short B-Beep, Vibrate or Shock at the collar selected. Pressing on for a longer time will create a longer B-beep, Vibrate or Shock. Training Tips: This product is intended to support behavioural training and is not designed to be used without necessary interaction. Always praise your dog for good behaviour. Verbal commands combined with positive reinforcement will contribute to the success of your training and will achieve the fastest, most desirable results possible. The recommended age for training is a minimum of 6 months, provided that your dog has the attention span and capability to learn basic commands. For example: sit, stay etc.. Work with your dog on one behaviour issue at a time to avoid confusion and frustration. Use as little stimulus as possible and only reinforce verbal commands with the training collar when necessary. Do not over correct your dog. Use verbal commands first, and supplement with a corrective stimulus only as needed. Be consistent with your verbal commands, using the same words every time. Use the beep as a warning by pressing the B-beep button. The dog will become conditioned to the beep preceding the corrective stimulus and will soon learn to recognise the beep as a warning, along with your verbal command. This system is not appropriate for correcting aggressive behaviour. Please consult a professional trainer for advice. Use the corrective stimulus along with your verbal command to deter the dog from undesirable behaviour by administering the stimulus DURING THE ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR. Using this device as a punishment after the fact is entirely useless and may serve to confuse and frustrate the animal. Do not rely on this product solely to train your dog. If your dog shows signs of growling, snarling, biting or aggression while using the collar, discontinue use immediately and contact a professional trainer. Some dogs will not respond to this product. We cannot guarantee the effectiveness of this or any other trainer on your particular dog. 3
This product is not recommended for aggressive or elderly animals in poor health or animals otherwise unable to withstand the stimulus. CAUTION: Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a condition similar to bedsores, known as Pressure Necrosis. To reduce the possibility, you must do the following: Never leave the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day. Examine the dog’s neck daily for any signs of a rash or a sore. Supervise your dog during the first 2 days of training. Check the collar fit to prevent excessive pressure. You should be able to insert one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s skin. Safety To maximise the effectiveness of the MGG GT-211 remote training system and safety of your dog, check the fit of the collar frequently and readjust the position of the electrodes on the animal’s neck whilst checking for signs of irritation or discomfort. If signs of skin irritation are noticed, immediately discontinue use and apply antibiotic ointment to help heal and sooth the area. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, please seek the advice of a veterinarian. Such side effects are extremely rare and are generally caused by a more serious existing condition. The collar is not intended to be left on a dog for an extended period of time without supervision and doing so can lead to health problems. The conservative recommended time limit without supervision is 12 hours. Wash the dog’s neck area and the correction poles as often as needed to keep the area and poles clean. Make sure the straps are clean for the best performance. The straps can be removed for cleaning but must be re-fitted in the same position. Common Problems & Solutions When pressing the B-beep button NO BEEP Make sure the receiver-collar is fully charged. A low charge will cause the receivercollar to work inconsistently. Follow the instructions and synchronise the receiver-collar to the transmitter. Make sure the transmitter battery is well charged. A low battery will disallow the remote to emit a strong enough signal every time. Make sure the transmitter is not set at the ZERO level. 4
Make sure the receiver-collar is NOT turned off by checking the signal icon on the transmitter. If the receiver-collar is turned off, the transmitter will not be able to send out a signal to it and the signal icon light will not flash accordingly. Make sure the dog you need to train is correctly selected. For example, if the first dog is currently selected, the second dog will not react to any commands you send from the transmitter. You can only control one dog at a time if dogs 1 or 2 are selected. To select both at the same time, select 0. Re-programme the receiver-collar and intensity level and try again. The receiver-collar does not seem to take a charge: Make sure the charger is plugged into the mains supply tightly and that the charging end is plugged into the charging hole fully. During charging the red LED light on the receiver-collar should stay on. My dog does not respond when I issue a correction: Test the receiver-collar according to the instructions above to make sure each stimulus is functioning. Make sure the correction prongs are positioned properly and that both prongs are making contact with the dog’s skin and that the collar is snug. Increase the intensity level of the correction. Safety Guidance There are no user-serviceable parts so please do not open the shells of either the collars or the transmitter. You could easily cause damage or harm the waterproof feature. Tampering will also nullify the warranty. In order to ensure the submersible feature, the waterproof rubber charging lid should be plugged in tightly. Only use the supplied NZ approved adaptor to charge the receiver-collar otherwise damage could occur. Do NOT to touch the metal prongs on the receiver-collar to test it. To test the shock correction, please use the supplied testlight kit. If there is water in the charging hole, please dry it before charging the receiver-collar.
