THE TRANSMITTER

The Transmitter signals the electronic
Collar Receiver to produce a
harmless, yet effective stimulation
and/or tone. The no-slip grip feels
comfortable in your hand for
extended periods of training time or
field time.

Explaining the
Transmitter Keypad Buttons:

Above keypad buttons are explained
as follows:

Tone – When pressed, causes the
Collar Receiver to produce a tone. No
stimulation is delivered.

Stimulation – also called the “Stim
Button,” when pressed, this sends
continuous stimulation signal to the
Collar Receiver at the intensity shown
in the display for as long as you hold
down the button (See “Over
Stimulation Protection” on page 11).
Button features one raised bump to
easily locate by touch, even with
gloves on!

Stimulation Level Up & Stimulation
Level Down – adjusts the stimulation

intensity through a range of levels.
(from 1 low to 15 high).

Exclusive feature: Hold either stim
level up or stim level down button for
half a second for the Rapid Ramp

™

feature to start — The Transmitter
display scrolls through stim levels
more quickly.

Dog Select – Switches Transmitter
control from Dog (Collar) 1 to Dog
(Collar) 2, for training two dogs. You
can purchase a second collar to
expand the system for training two
dogs.

Alternate Stimulation (Alt Stim)–
(top left red button) – When you
press the Alt Stim button, the

symbol displays.
Program this preset button to the
desired stimulation level. (See
Alternate Stimulation (Alt Stim) on
page 7).

Put the collar around your dog’s neck and adjust to find
the proper fit. Fasten the collar so the fit is snug, yet loose
enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and
the dog’s neck. Fit is important because a loose collar
may cause inconsistent performance.

Step 3 Fit the Collar Receiver on Your Dog

Step 4 Begin Training

Read the information in the Training section on pages 11-12. Though your dog
may show good initial response to the training, be sure to continue training for
several weeks. The convenience that your new remote training system offers is
well worth the time invested.

Double Reward

Double Reward is the term used
when a stimulation is followed by a
half-second delay and a half-second
tone.

GS-2001 Transmitter:

1. Choose desired dog using

the Dog Select button.

2. Press up the arrow and

at the same time until the PROG

symbol appears in the Transmitter

display.

3. Press to switch between

Stim without Tone and Double

Reward. (Flashing tone symbol

in display means Double Reward,

no tone symbol means Stim

without Tone.) Repeatedly

pressing the Tone button switches
between these two choices.

4. Press the down arrow to save
setting and exit programming.

Alternate Stimulation (Alt Stim)

Some trainers depend upon instant
access to a higher stimulation setting
for circumstances where the dog may
not respond to lower levels, such as a
high distraction environment. Your
Transmitter features a red, preset Alt
Stim button that you can use to
deliver an alternate (higher) level of
stimulation. The GS-2001 transmitter
Alt Stim buttons are factory-set to
level 10.

Battery Indicator

When the Battery Indicator shows the
low battery symbol (1/6 capacity),
replace the Transmitter batteries
soon. When only the battery outline is
displayed, the Transmitter’s battery is
too low to send transmissions to the
Collar Receiver. Transmitter batteries
must be replaced to regain operation.

Battery Cautions

Do not charge batteries every night.
To maximize battery life, use the
Collar Receiver until the LED light
blinks red.

• Do not disassemble batteries

• Do not short circuit batteries

• Do not expose to high temperature:
60°C/140°F

• Do not incinerate batteries

• Keep batteries out of reach of
children

Batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Batteries should
NEVER be discarded in municipal
waste.

Transmitter Display Symbols:

The display stays on for 30 minutes
after a button press. After 30 minutes
with no button presses, the display
shuts off. Pressing any button will
make the display turn back on.
Various symbols you might see in
the Transmitter display are explained
as follows:

(Numeric readout) – Appears
in the middle of the display, this
shows the chosen stimulation level.
Adjust with the Stim level up / Stim
level down (arrow) buttons.

– The left symbol
displays when the Transmitter is
controlling Dog Collar Receiver 1. You
can purchase a second collar to
expand the system for training two
dogs. The right symbol displays when
controlling Dog Collar Receiver 2.
Switch between Collar Receivers by
pressing the Dog Select button.

– This symbol appears
