What is firmware? It’s the computer program inside your collar that controls

its inputs and outputs. Because of its unique and powerful ability to receive
new firmware, your Bluefang® collar and app will change and improve over
time giving you features and functions that are not yet described in this
manual. However, you will always be informed about improvements to your

system on the app’s opening “What’s New” screen which is a live feed from

our web server.

Bluefang® is the only pet training collar that has the ability to be
reprogrammed to use its onboard hardware in new, imaginative ways

bringing you new functions and features as they are developed by the

geniuses at High Tech Pet.

Your new Bluefang® super collar provides all in one training, bark control,

fitness and activity tracking. Models BF-22 and BF-25 also have electronic
fencer capability. All these features are controlled by your smart phone. Your
collar also has firmware update capability that continuously keeps your collar
current with the latest features and improvements.

INTRODUCTION

Bluefang collars are the most advanced and useful dog training collars made.
They bring you “All-In-One” capability to train your dog, correct unwanted
barking and monitor fitness and activity level. The BF-22 and BF-25 models
also have a built in low frequency radio receiver that works with any High
Tech Pet electronic fence transmitter to safely contain your dog in your yard.
All this is conveniently controlled by your iPhone or Android phone.

To begin, here are some helpful facts you should understand before you

begin. Bluefang collars use the world’s most powerful Bluetooth transceiver
to give you up to a 400 ft. range. This is the “line of sight” range of the collar.

If there are large obstacles between you and your dog or if there are other

radio transceivers or power lines in the training area, this range will be
reduced.

Bluetooth is a one-to-one transceiver protocol. That means you can
communicate with one collar at a time. However, the Bluefang app is aware
of all available collars within its range and you may switch between collars
quickly to train several dogs at once. Once your collar is paired with your
phone, other phones within range will not detect the collar. That collar will
remain invisible to other phones until you release it by switching to another
collar or by closing the app.

The Bluefang app allows you to set up a custom configuration tailored to your
dog. This includes; collar name, custom commands, stimulus profile, bark
control profile and more. Once configured, this information is stored in the
collar so you may connect with other phones without having to reconfigure
the collar.

Bluetooth Command Indicator
Each time a command is received by the collar, it’s illuminated logo lights up
letting you know the signal has been received.

The strap should be adjusted to a length that is snug but will allow you to

comfortably put two fingers between the stimulus probes and your dog’s neck.

Adjusting the collar strap is simple but, tricky in that the slider will not move
without first sliding out the top strap layer. Slide the top strap layer out of the
slider then adjust the strap to desired length using the male buckle end. Move
the slider close to the male buckle and insert the top strap layer through the
slider. This will prevent the slider from moving.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Bluefang collar is not intended to be used as a
restraining collar.

ADJUSTING THE COLLAR STRAP

TURNING ON YOUR COLLAR AND REPLACING THE BATTERY

The collar battery also functions as an on/ off switch. Turn on your collar by
rotating the battery module clockwise. The battery acts as a 3 position switch.
The positions are ON, OFF and REMOVE. From the ON position, rotate counter­clockwise to turn it OFF. Rotate one more click counter-clockwise to remove. To

conserve battery life we recommend you turn the battery to the OFF position

when the collar is not in use. To

install a new battery align the
arrow on the battery with

“Remove” text. Then, turn
clockwise to “Off” or “On”

position. The logo will blink and
the collar will beep when it
successfully powers up.
