To turn off, press and hold the power button until the LED indicator turns solid red and then off.

3.3 Fitting the Collar Receiver

Proper fit of the collar receiver is crucial for consistent and effective stimulation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.

1. Position the receiver on your dog's neck so that the contact points are underneath, making direct contact with the skin.
2. The collar should be snug enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to restrict breathing. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly under the strap.
3. For dogs with thick coats, you may need to trim some hair around the contact points to ensure proper skin contact.

Figure 3: Dogtra ARC Key Features (Transmitter and Receiver)

The ARC transmitter features a Rheostat/Volume Dial for precise stimulation level adjustments (0-127), dedicated buttons for Momentary Nick and Constant Stimulation, and a Pager Vibration button. The LCD screen displays the stimulation level and battery status.

4.2 Ụdị Ọzụzụ

• Momentary Nick (N): Delivers a single, quick pulse of static stimulation. Useful for immediate correction of unwanted behavior.
• Mkpali Na-aga n'ihu (C): Delivers continuous static stimulation for up to 12 seconds, or until the button is released. Use for more persistent behaviors or to reinforce commands.
• Pager Vibration (P): Provides a non-stimulating vibration. Can be used as a warning or a gentle reminder before applying static stimulation.

4.3 Adjusting Stimulation Levels

The Rheostat/Volume Dial on the transmitter allows you to adjust the static stimulation intensity from 0 (no stimulation) to 127 (maximum stimulation). Start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds with a slight head turn or ear twitch, indicating they feel the stimulation without distress.

4.4 Two-Dog System (Expandable)

The Dogtra ARC system can be expanded to control two dogs with a single transmitter. The transmitter features separate buttons for each dog (e.g., Black-P for Dog 1, Orange-P for Dog 2) for independent control of stimulation and pager functions.
