transmitter - the new patented “Rapid Access" total con-
trol button is easily accessible for instantaneous correction
of your dog and our patented "SureGrip" strap securely
holds the unit in place - freeing up your hands for other
activities. The compact design offers worry-free operation
and the downsized collar unit means worry-free use and
freedom of movement for your dog in the field.
The R.A.P.T. series features a 1,400 yard range made
possible by our exclusive MAXX-Range 360 technology to
ensure positive FM signal reception, no matter the terrain.
The R.A.P.T. 1400 e-collar also boasts full waterproof ca-
pability of the Collar and the Transmitter (the Transmitter
even floats just in case it ever goes overboard).

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
•
Before training with this unit, your dog’s health
should be examined by a veterinarian.
•
Do not use with aggressive-tempered dogs.
•
••
•
Your R.A.P.T. Series
TM
collar is a very valuable tool
if used correctly. It is extremely important that you
completely understand all the functions of the collar
and how to properly train with it before placing it on
your dog.
•
Test your system before placing the collar unit on
your dog(s) to help prevent possible interruptions
and inconsistencies during training and field time.
•
Never leave your dog unattended with the unit
on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a
very slight possibility that your dog may receive an
unintentional electric stimulation.
•
To prevent neck irritations, the collar should
never be worn for more than 12 hours a day.
Changing the collar location on the dog’s neck daily
will also help prevent irritations. It is recommended
to reposition the collar every 1-2 hours of use.
•
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. If condition persists beyond 48
hours, please consult a veterinarian.
20
MAINTENANCE
It is very important to periodically clean your R.A.P.T.
Series
TM
system for maximum performance. Regular

SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
It is very important to set the correct intensity level on
your R.A.P.T. Training System before beginning your
training sessions to provide the proper level of
stimulation without over-stimulating your dog.
1. Place the Intensity Selection dial so that the system
is set on Level 1.
2. Turn on the Collar Receiver and then fit it properly
around your dog’s neck.
3. Press the ‘Cont.’ button and check for a reaction.
Indications of your dog feeling the stimulation
include outward signs of discomfort or confusion on
it’s face, ears perking up, changes in tail
movements, etc.
4. If there are no signs of your dog feeling the
stimulation, increase the Intensity Level in
increments of one until your dog reacts to the
stimulation.
5. At this point, increase the Intensity Level by one or
two. This should be your dog’s ideal training level.
NOTE
Some dogs may require more or less stimulation depending
upon their individual temperament and/or size.
Setting the Jump Stimulation Level:

PROPERLY FITTING THE COLLAR
NOTE: Proper collar tightness and
position are very important to insure
safe and consistent collar use.
All electronic collars need to be
very snug around the dog’s neck
to work properly. They must be
just tight enough to allow the
“contacts” or electrodes to make good contact on your
dog’s skin. If the collar is too loose, the stimulation
may not work properly because good/consistent skin
contact is not being achieved. This can directly affect
the performance of the collar unit and whether or not
the dog will receive the stimulation. Always check for
good contact to the skin if it appears that your dog is
not responding to the stimulation. A loose collar can
also result in skin irritations from moving or rubbing
too much against your dog’s neck while they are
running or training. A proper fit will help prevent this
from occurring.
•
Place the collar unit high and tight on your dog’s
neck with the collar receiver box centered below the
neck. Placing it at the wider base of the neck can
let it travel up to the narrower part of the neck while
your dog is moving, loosening as it goes.
•
It should be tight enough to fit two fingers between
the collar belt and your dog’s neck, but not tight
enough to restrict your dog’s breathing.
16
PROGRAMMING THE COLLAR
When adding an “Add-On” collar, the collar will need to
be programmed to the transmitter. If your current collar
unit is not responding to the transmitter, it may also
need to be reprogrammed to the transmitter.
1. Select the desired Collar Selecting Switch position
on the transmitter.
2. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (white dot)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch (small
bump) on the right side of the Collar Receiver.
3. The SmartLED light inside the Collar Receiver will
light up solid for about 1 second, followed by 6
flashes. You must keep the Transmitter next to the
Collar Receiver during this time.
4. Continue to hold the Transmitter against the Collar
Receiver until the SmartLED light stays on solid. The
Collar Receiver is now in the Code Running Mode (the
SmartLED light will stay lit for approximately 8
seconds while it is in this mode).
5. Remove the Transmitter from the Collar Receiver
and press the NICK and CONT buttons
simultaneously while it is in the Code Running Mode.
6. When the SmartLED blinks 3 times, the Collar ID
is programmed and the Collar Receiver is now ON.
NOTE – Do not move the Transmitter Magnet Indicator
from the Collar Receiver Magnetic Activation Switch
until after the SmartLED stops flashing and stays on
solid or the Collar Receiver will not go into the Code
Running Mode. You must press the NICK and CONT
buttons simultaneously while the SmartLED is lit solid.

provides power and communication from the Collar
Receiver Unit to the Beeper Horn.
10
PARTS & FUNCTIONS
CAUTION
If the collar belt is too long, we recommend looping the ex-
cess collar belt back around through the buckle. We DO
NOT recommend cutting the collar belt. Cutting the collar
belt can drastically reduce the range of your collar unit.
However, the collar belt can be cut up to about 3 inches
without affecting the range too much.
Collar Belt with MAXX-Range™ 360 Antenna - The
embedded MAXX-Range™ Antenna is woven into the
collar belt and runs along the entire length of the belt,
providing the range of an external antenna without the
drawback of sticking out from your dog. Because it
wraps around the neck along with the collar belt, the
MAXX-Range Antenna provides 360˚ degrees of
signal reception and is not blocked by your dog’s
body, regardless of which direction your dog is facing.
NOTE
The unit is still waterproof even if water gets into the charg-
ing receptacle. However, if water should get in, we recom-
mend rinsing out the charging receptacle and allowing it to
dry, especially after use in salt water. This will prevent pre-
mature corrosion in the metal pins inside that make contact
with the charger plug.
Battery Charging Receptacles - The charger cables
plug into the Charging Receptacle for recharging
(located on the side of the Collar Receiver facing the
dog’s neck). After charging, always close the Charg-
ing Receptacle with the rubber plug to prevent
foreign particles from getting inside the unit.
15
TESTING
To Test the Beeper:
(R.A.P.T. 1450 only)

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
All R.A.P.T. Series
TM
collar units are equipped with
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries,
which are not memory sensitive and do not require
depletion before recharging. Although batteries come
partially charged from the factory, it is recommended
that they are given a full charge (about 12 hours)
before initial use.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. Plug the charger into a
standard electrical outlet.
3. Connect the Triple-Jack Cable to the end of the
charger and plug the end into the collar unit. The
SmartLED should light solid red while charging.
Additional Collar Units can be charged
simultaneously with the Triple-Jack Cable.
4. Charging is complete when the SmartLED turns
green (may take up to 12 hours).
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the battery
charging cables from the receptacles, securely
replace the rubber battery receptacle covers, and
test unit.
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE WHILE UNIT IS WET!
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on
average depending on use and care. Keep batteries away
from flammable substances. See page 20 for more infor-
mation on battery maintenance.
13
TURNING ON AND OFF
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. If the
Transmitter does not activate, make sure you have a
good battery installed and that your Collar Selector
Dial is not in the Lockout position.
Turning the Collar Unit ON/OFF:
Turning the Collar Unit ON and OFF uses the same
procedure:
1. Hold the Transmitter Magnet Indicator (white dot)
directly against the Magnetic Activation Switch
(small bump) on the right side of the Collar Unit.
2. The SmartLED Indicator will light solid for a
second and then start flashing. Remove the
Transmitter from the Collar Unit when the
SmartLED light begins to flash.
If the Collar Unit has been turned ON, the SmartLED
will flash approximately every other second. If the
Collar Unit has been turned OFF, the SmartLED will
no longer be flashing.
NOTE
If the LED on the Transmitter flashes red rapidly after any
button is pressed, the 9V battery will need to be replaced.
If the SmartLED on the Collar Unit double-flashes red every
other second while ON, the unit will need to be recharged.
If this happens soon after a full charging session, the re-
chargeable batteries in the Collar Unit may need to be re-
placed.
