The BALL TRAINER provides immediate rewards for trainings such as K-9 Scent Detection and Bark & Hold Training. The system has a 100 yard range and the launcher can shoot balls 5-feet high. A single transmitter can control up to eight receivers. The transmitter and receiver are equipped with replaceable batteries, which eliminates the need for recharging the system after each use. This system can be used at a training facility or at home. 2. Turning the Receiver On/Off Turning the Receiver On: Press and hold the on/off button on the top of the receiver until the receiver LED lights up solid green. The receiver will be ready to use when the LED is blinking every 5 seconds. Turning the Receiver Off: Press and hold the on/off button on the top of the receiver until the receiver LED lights up solid red. If the receiver is off, there will no longer be any blinking light.

The ball can only be launched once. If you would like to relaunch the ball, you will need to place it into the launcher again. Note 2: The BALL TRAINER receiver automatically turns off after 3 hours of non-use to conserve battery power. 3) Launcher/Dropper Mode Switch The Launcher/Dropper Mode Switch is located on the top of the receiver. Depending on which mode you would like to use, slide the switch to the launch mode or drop mode. Caution! Take care when inserting balls into the launch or drop canisters as your fingers may get caught or injured. 6. Using the Dropper 1. You can load more balls by extending the dropper. 7. Receiver LED Indicator Light 2. You can load up to 3 balls in the dropper. When you press the corresponding button on the transmitter for the designated receiver, the LED indicator light on the transmitter and receiver will both light up momentarily.

When you press the corresponding button on the transmitter for the designated receiver, the LED indicator light on the transmitter and receiver will both light up momentarily. It may be difficult to replace the battery since the cover is tightly in place. Be careful when taking off the battery cover. Checking the Battery Life The LED indicator color indicates the battery life level. Caution! Please make sure you do not forcefully pull out the battery holder. The wire connected to the battery holder may break. If the unit is used while the LED indicator light blinks green, it may shut down automatically. Green light when pressed = Battery full charge Green light blinks on its own = Battery needs to be replaced 3. Before closing the battery cover, please make sure that the battery holder is properly placed into the battery compartment. Place the battery cover over the battery compartment and use a screwdriver or coin to tighten the screw back on. Caution! If you tighten the screws too much, it will strip the screws and spin. 12 13 10. Replacing the Transmitter Battery 12. Maximizing the Distance 1. Using a screwdriver, remove the 3 screws on the battery cover on the back of the transmitter. 2. Replace the batteries with two AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries. Check that the batteries match the polarity indicated on the battery holder. 3. Place the battery cover back into place and use a screwdriver to tighten the screws back on. Caution! If you tighten the screws too much, it will strip the screws and spin. Maximum range Typical range Minimum range The range for the BALL TRAINER is 100 yards, which can vary depending on the way you use your transmitter. It may also vary depending on geographical conditions and the surrounding environment. To get the greatest range, follow the instructions below. - To improve the range, hold the transmitter in your hand and do not block the top of the transmitter (there is an internal antenna). - Get the best range when holding the transmitter away from your body and placing it above your head. - Always check the batteries in your transmitter and receiver before usage and replace the batteries if necessary. - The battery performance will decline when used in colder temperatures (below 32°F). 4. To make sure that the transmitter is working properly, press one of the buttons to see if the LED indicator light shows up green. 11. Using the Battery Correctly 1) When inserting the batteries into the unit, make sure the battery matches the positive or negative polarity. 2) Please remove the batteries from the device if it will not be used or placed in storage for a long time. 3) If you are storing the batteries, do not store it together with metal products. 4) If the battery expires, replace the battery with a new one even if it has some capacity left. 14 15 13.

In order to add another receiver, you will need to code the new receiver to the transmitter. 1) Make sure that the receiver is off. 2) Press and hold down the on/off button on top of the receiver for 5 seconds. 3) The LED indicator light will rapidly blink green. You can release your finger from the button. 4) Press the number on the transmitter that you would like to code the receiver to. You may check that it is properly coded by pressing the button on the transmitter, which will activate the LED indicator light on the receiver at the same time.

Be careful not to over tighten. * You can code up to eight receivers to one transmitter Warning! Do not use any other transmitter before programming a new receiver. The receiver can accidentally code to another transmitter if used at the same time. If this happens, you will need to recode the receiver to the correct transmitter. 16 17 GENERAL TRAINING TIPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Getting Started With Your BALL TRAINER Your dog must know some basic obedience commands before beginning training with the BALL TRAINER. A dog learns by first being shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the dog becomes proficient at these commands, the trainer can introduce distractions and different locations to strengthen them. 1. The transmitter has no range or the BALL TRAINER does not launch when the dog is farther away. - The range indicated on the unit’s box is for flat terrain. Heavy brush, trees, hills, or moisture may affect the range of your unit. For the best range, hold the transmitter vertically above your head, and/or try moving to higher ground. - Any electrical conductors may affect the range, such as cars, metal structures, and radio towers. For best results, operate the BALL TRAINER away from these items. - Do not put the transmitter in your pocket as it will shorten the range by blocking the signal to the receiver. For more training information, please visit our website at www.dogtra.com. MAINTENANCE Basic Maintenance After each training session, carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage to the casing. Damaged or broken casing may affect the unit. After confirming that there is no damage to the casing, clean off any dirt or debris. Storage Maintenance The BALL TRAINER battery should be taken out before storing the unit for extended periods of time. Store the units in room temperature. Do not keep the units exposed to extreme climates. Troubleshooting If the unit is malfunctioning, please refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” before sending it to Dogtra for service. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email them to info@dogtra.com, or call customer service at 1-888-811-9111. FCC WARNING The BALL TRAINER complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

When do I need to replace the batteries in the BALL TRAINER? - If the unit is not activating or the LED indicator light does not turn on, the batteries may need to be replaced. The overall battery life will depend on the usage. - The LED indicator light will go from green to amber to red. When the LED indicator light shows red, the batteries need to be replaced. 3. How do I clean the BALL TRAINER? - To clean the BALL TRAINER, make sure that the battery covers are closed and fully sealed. Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth. Make sure the unit is completely dry before use. 4. Why types of balls can I use with the system? - You may use Dogtra’ authorized balls, tennis balls, or balls with similar texture and size (diameter of 2.6 inches or 6.6 cm). 5.
