INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing our H2O
PLUS Series

TM

Remote Training Collar with “Add-On”
capability, the perfect remote trainer for hunting, basic
obedience, and professional training. The collar’s
Maxx-Range™ Internal Antenna System, the
industry’s only internally woven antenna in the collar,
gives this unit up to a one mile range. The H

O PLUS

2

series collars feature sixteen levels of intensity easily
selected by one hand for maximum control and
safety. All models include Momentary “Nick” and
Continuous stimulations. Certain models also feature
Vibration, Jump & Rise stimulations, or a Beeper with
Locate, Run & Point mode, and Point Only mode. The
collar and transmitter are both rechargeable and 100%
waterproof (the transmitter FLOATS on water!). This
system also features our SmartLED light that lets you
know when charging is complete and how much
charge is left during use. The H

O PLUS Series Dog

2

Training Collar is durable, safe, and very humane
when used correctly. The automatic safety shut-off
feature stops the stimulation after 8 seconds to
prevent accidental or prolonged stimulation. Thanks
again for choosing D.T. Systems to help bring out the
best in your best friend!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please read this owner’s manual in its entirety before

PARTS & FUNCTIONS

Intensity Selection Dial - The

intensity selection dial can be set from

level 1 to level 16 to find the exact

stimulation level for your dog (see

page 18).

Transmitter Indicator Light - When pressing any of
the Transmitter buttons, the SmartLED lights green if
there is 51% to 100% charge remaining, lights red if
there is 21% to 50% charge remaining, or flashes
rapidly if the battery needs charging. When the
charger is plugged into the Transmitter, the SmartLED
lights red while charging and turns green when
charging is complete.

Collar Selecting Switch

- Switching between collar
units can be controlled by toggling the Collar Selecting
Switch to the desired unit.

‘Nick’/Continuous Stimulation Buttons - Pressing
the upper button (‘NICK’) makes the collar emit a
Momentary (or ‘Nick’) Stimulation. Pressing the lower
button (‘CONT’) emits a Continuous Stimulation as
long as the button is being pressed (up to an 8 second
safety cutoff). All H

O PLUS series models have

2

these buttons.

Buttons #1 & #2 (H

O 1820 PLUS only) - Pressing

2

the Vibration Button (#1) makes the collar vibrate only.
Pressing the V+S Button (#2) makes the collar vibrate
first and adds simultaneous Continuous Stimulation to
the Vibration after a 1/2 second delay.

7

PARTS & FUNCTIONS

Buttons #1 & #2 (H2O 1830 PLUS only) - Pressing

the Jump Button (#1) makes the collar give a ‘Jump’
Stimulation, making the intensity level instantly “jump”
to a user-programmed intensity level (see page 19).
Pressing the Rise Button (#2) makes the collar give a
stimulation that gradually increases in intensity level
the longer the Rise Button is pressed.

Buttons #1 & #2 (H

O 1850 PLUS only) - Pressing

2

the Locate Button (#1) makes the Beeper Horn emit a
loud beep. Pressing the Run/Point Button (#2) acti­vates the Run & Point mode on the Collar Receiver.
Pressing the button again changes the mode to the
Point Only mode. Pressing the Locate Button cancels
the Run/Point modes.

Battery Charging Receptacles - The battery
charging receptacles are located on the side of the
Transmitter and on the side of the Collar Receiver
facing the dog’s neck. After charging, always close
the jack with the rubber plug to prevent foreign
particles from getting inside the unit.

NOTE

The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into the charg­ing receptacle. However, if water should get in, we recom­mend rinsing out the charging receptacle and allowing it to
dry, especially after use in salt water. This will prevent pre­mature corrosion in the metal pins inside that make contact
with the charger plug.
