SPT SERIES

Electronic Dog Trainer

Owner’s Manual

Congratulations and Thank you for purchasing one of

our dog training systems.

The SPT series represents the absolute latest techno-

logical advancement in the Electronic Dog Training

World. They offer compact lightweight collar

receivers which include completely internal antenna

systems. The convenient, one-touch Digital

Transmitters are lightweight and feature a new patent

pending LCD display which allow for extreme ease of

use. The LCD screen displays which of the 50

available intensity levels on which the collar is set, as

well as displaying which type of stimulation is being

used. It also lets you know exactly how much power

your transmitter battery has left and, in the case of the

Two-Dog models, it shows which collar is currently

being controlled. The availability of features in the

SPT series collars is tailored to meet every type of

dog training need. All models feature both

Momentary and Constant stimulations, and added

features include Positive Vibration, No-Bark training,

and Baritone Beeper Locators. SPT series Collars and

Transmitters have long-lasting, built-in rechargeable

NiMH batteries, and have a range of 1¼ miles. The

collars are 100% waterproof and can be worn even

when the dog is submerged. The transmitters are also

waterproof and can be submerged up to 4 hours in

water as deep as 12 feet.

ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR

COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT

Proper collar tightness and

position are very important to

insure safety and correct

functioning every time you

use the collar.

• All electronic collars need to be

very snug to work properly. They

must be just tight enough to allow

the “prongs” or electrodes to make good skin contact.

• If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work

properly because good skin contact is not being achieved.

This can directly affect the stimulation performance and

whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation.

Always check for good “prong” contact if it appears that

your dog is not responding to the stimulation.

• A loose collar can promote skin irritation from moving or

rubbing too much on a dog’s neck while they are running

or training. The proper snug fit will help prevent this

from occurring.

• Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be just

tight enough on the dog’s neck to make good skin contact

and allow the dog to breath normally. The collar should

never be so tight on the dog’s neck that it restricts the

dog’s normal breathing pattern.

• For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it

should be placed on the center of the dog’s neck.

PARTS & FUNCTIONS

Transmitter

(SPT 7402 shown, models may vary slightly)

PARTS & FUNCTIONS CONT.

LED Display

Indicators

Collar Receiver

(No-Bark model shown)

All SPT collars have 50 available

intensity levels with One being

the lowest and 50 the highest.

The current Intensity Level is

conveniently shown on the LED

Display. To change intensity levels at any time simply

press the Up or Down Intensity Level Adjustment Buttons.

You can change the level one step at a time by quickly

pressing on of the buttons or you can rapidly change levels

by holding a button.

TURNING YOUR COLLAR ON & OFF

Turning the Unit On:

Press and hold the Power/Mode

button on the Collar Receiver.

The Red LED Indicator will

light solidly for two seconds.

Continue holding the Button

until the Red light goes off.

The unit is now On. The LED Indicator will now flash

approximately every Two seconds.

(Note: The Transmitter is always in a permanent sleep

state. It is only On when a button is being pressed, and

does not need to be turned off by the user).

Turning the Unit Off:

When you are ready to shut the unit off simply press and

hold the Power/Mode button for three seconds. Again the

Red LED indicator will light solidly. Hold the Button until

the light goes off. The Unit is now Off.

INTENSITY LEVEL

The SPT 7000, SPT 7002, SPT 7400, and the SPT 7402

are equipped with a No-Bark Training Mode for the

correction of problematic barking.

All D.T. Systems No-Bark Training devices are equipped

with Vibration Sensors. This type of sensor only activates

the stimulation when it senses vibration from the dogs

vocal cords. This eliminates unnecessary “shock” from

extraneous noises or rattling tags.

INTENSITY LEVEL CONT.

The first and most important step in training your dog with

your SPT Training System is the determination of the cor-

rect Intensity Level to provide the proper training stimula-

tion without over shocking your dog.

To do this place the Collar on the dog’s neck and turn it

on. Press the Intensity Level Adjustment Down Button

until the LCD Display shows that the System is set on

Level One. Press either the N or the S Button. Increase

the Intensity Level in increments of just one or two until

the dog is feeling the shock. You should be able to tell

when the dog is feeling the shock by the outward signs of

discomfort or confusion on it’s face. At this point increase

the Intensity Level by three. This should be your dog’s

ideal training level. (Note: Some dog’s may require more

or less stimulation depending upon their individual nature.)

NO-BARK TRAINING MODE

NO-BARK TRAINING MODE CONT.

Our No-Bark Trainers have a three second safety delay. Once a

corrective stimulation is administered the unit will not shock

again for three seconds, no matter how much the dog is barking.

This prevents constant shocking which could be harmful to the

dog’s health.

To switch your system between Remote Training Mode and No-

Bark Training Mode, firmly and steadily press the Power/Mode

Button on the Collar Receiver twice. The Red LED Indicator

will change to Green and will flash 6 times very quickly and

then light solidly for three seconds. It will then resume flashing

once every two seconds (Green). The collar is now in No-Bark

Mode.

Once the collar receiver is in No-Bark Mode set the Intensity

Level that your dog needs for No-Bark training by pressing the

Up or Down Intensity Level buttons and then pressing any of the

Mode Buttons on the Transmitter.

To switch back to Remote Training Mode from No-Bark Mode

simply repeat the switching process. Firmly and

steadily press the Power/Mode Button on the Collar Receiver

twice. The LED Indicator will change back from Green to Red

and will flash 6 times very quickly and then light solidly for

three seconds. It will then resume flashing once every two

seconds (Red). The collar is now in Remote Mode.

Note: Turning the unit off while in No-Bark mode resets the

collar and when turned back on the system will be in Remote

Training Mode.

With SPT Two Dog Systems (7002, 7102, 7202, & 7402)

you can control two dogs with one Transmitter.

One Collar is Orange and the other is Black.

The LCD Display shows which collar you are

currently controlling. To switch the currently

active collar simply press the Collar Change Button.

REMOTE TRAINING MODE

Depending upon which model Trainer you have there will

be either Two or Four Stimulation Buttons.

The “Nick” Button applies a very quick shock.

The Constant Stimulation Button applies a constant

shock up to 8 seconds.

Causes the Collar Receiver to Vibrate.

Applies the Constant Stimulation and the Vibration

simultaneously up to 8 seconds.

SWITCHING BETWEEN COLLARS

(TWO DOG MODELS)

Training your dog with a D.T. Systems

is a very individual

experience. Dogs will respond differently to the various

types of stimuli. Patience and knowing your dog is the

best way to ensure proper training.

BATTERIES

• All training collars are equipped

with rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries

which are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion

before recharging.

• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will

require a full charge before the first use. (12 hours).

• Remember - Always keep batteries away from flame.

• When storing the unit for long periods remember to regularly

give the batteries a full charge (14 hours). This should be done

once every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. Never leave

the batteries plugged in for more than 14 hours.

Battery Char

ging Procedure

1. Turn the unit off.

2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Charge the batteries for 12 hours. This can be done either

separately or simultaneously.

4. After charging, disconnect the battery charging cables from the

receptacles and securely replace the rubber battery receptacle

covers.

5. Test the system to make sure that everything is working

properly.

TESTING

There are three methods you can use to test your

depending upon your model’s features.

First, you should make sure that both the transmitter and

receiver are fully charged. Then turn on the power to the

collar receiver. Next, follow one of these three steps:

To Test the Electronic

Stimulation:

A) Place the tester firmly on

the electrodes of the collar

receiver.

B) Set the intensity (Note - An

intensity level setting of 7 or

less might not be enough to

light the tester).

C) Push either the N, SV or S

buttons.

D) The tester light will quickly

flash for the Nick function and light steadily when the

Constant Stimulation or Constant and Vibration buttons are

pushed. (The higher the intensity, the brighter the test

light).

o Test the

Vibration:

A) Follow the directions for testing the Electronic

Stimulation, and press the SV or V button.

B) If you press the SV button, the unit should vibrate and

the tester should light. If you press the V button the

unit should vibrate but the tester should not light.

TESTING CONT.

To Test the No-Bark Feature

(on equipped models):

A) Place the two red wires from the

Test Light onto the electrodes

(as shown).

B) Quickly and steadily slide the

bottom of the test light (the

serrated edge) across the top of

the sensor.

C) If the light flashes, the unit is

functioning properly.

D) Because of the automatic three

second delay, if you repeat step

B too quickly, the test light will

not light again. In this case simply wait three seconds and

try again.

• It is very important to periodically clean your

for maximum

performance. Regular cleaning will also lengthen the life

of your unit.

• Clean the collar box

with lukewarm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap.

• Take care to thoroughly clean the space between the

electrodes and the belt.

• The belt and buckle should be cleaned with water and a

mild soap then allowed to dry completely.

• Always allow the entire unit to completely dry before

using.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

• Before beginning training your dog should be examined by

a veterinarian to assure that there are no physical reasons

for your dog’s excessive barking and to assure that your

dog in good health.

• Your is a very

valuable tool if used correctly. Therefore it is extremely

important that you completely understand all functions of

the collar and how to properly train with it before placing it

on your dog.

• Since no electronic device is perfect, there is an extremely

slim possibility that your dog may receive an unintentional

electric stimulation. Therefore never leave the unit on your

dog while unsupervised.

• The electrodes on this collar are made with high grade

stainless steel to help prevent any chemical or allergic

reactions with your dog’s skin.

• To prevent neck irritation, the collar should never be worn

for more than 12 hours a day. Daily changing the collar

location on the dog’s neck will also help prevent irritations.

It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the

electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacterial soap.

• If an irritation is found, carefully wash the dog’s neck with

soap and water and then wipe the area with Hydrogen

Peroxide. Dry thoroughly and apply an antibiotic ointment.
