Does the hand held transmitter turn itself off? Can you keep it on in case you need to use it immediately? I find with another unit that it takes a couple of seconds to turn the unit on and by that time the dog has already made the mistake and doesn't...

It does turn itself off. My only problem with the unit has been both collars respond on the same setting so I can only allow one dog to wear the collar.

Same question I had. I found this on page 13 of their operating guide: The Wireless System is designed to recognize power outages and shuts down without activating the Receiver Collar. However, if your pet is near the Boundary Zone during the power failure, he may receive a Static Correction. To lessen this chance, you may consider a battery backup device for the Transmitter if your area experiences frequent power outages.

It does shut itself off...mine failed and was never replaced. The seller kept replacing the receiver ( took 4 months each time) and never did send transmitter as promised

I had to turn it off each time. Thus it has to be turned on and off. Once it stops lighting up, I have never been able to get new batteries to work. While it works, my dog loved it in the dark. He still plays with it ----without the light.

On occasion my other dog set off the collar. You could always tell when it happened because the dog wearing the collar ran away quickly. I saw it happen a handful of times. It obviously didn't deter me from using the collar.

I am not sure. ...my dog is trained and she comes back at the audible alarm...we actually had a different one when we trained her and that one shocked for 15 seconds. ..If they stray and get shocked (during training) call them back...it should not take long for them to understand

The transmiter turns off by itself after two to three minutes. To turn it back on just hit the vibrate button. You can watch the video on the Aetertek web site.

All I can say is that we use this all the time and never had issues with the batteries. The transmitter stays on all the time, the receiver (dog collar) turns on and off with the transmitter. we charge it after using 2-3 hours. Our dog is pretty hyper once in a while we use setting 10. He is a big dog and it gets his attention.

Hmm that's a good question. It does go "off" if my dog is whining but my dog doesn't seem to stop whining or crying right away. I have only put it the beep mode or the mode that increases if they don't stop so I've never really tested it on one of the shock settings to see if it stops him whining right away. So whining does at least cause the correction to occur.

The barking stops as soon as there is no motion detected. There is capability to manually set it. The setting remain when power is turnoff and then on. I use a WeMo switch to remotely turn in on and off. However this works only if you do not install batteries. Hope this helps.

Your question leads me to believe the device is very close to your dog's mouth. When you test the device, you blow on it to make sure it works. If the device is very close to your dog's mouth, just restful breathing set it off due to the sensitivity of the device. You could loosen the collar so it hangs further away, which might help. If memory serves, there is a spray collar with an adjustable setting. Those are a little more pricey and you have to be careful of the settings. You don't want to your dog to get sprayed for another dog's barking. As a last resort, contact the company as they were helpful in sending a replacement as your unit might be too sensitive.

No the transmitter cannot be turned off, it turns off by itself once you turn off the collar box.

It will only turn off when the shock piece is turned off. Mine has never gone off when pressed either. In the book it says the on/off button only makes the transmitter beep. Hope it helped you

No but unless you are pushing a button the transmitter is off. If you are asking if you can turn the collar off from the transtransmitter (to make the battery last longer) the answer is no.

Yes it automatically shuts off if knocked over and then when stood right side up will continue to work after turning back on. I personally have seen this happen a good four times already. Sadly it sits in a high traffic area and I have a large puppy lol

I actually use it with 3 dogs. I have poop for a memory but have a system that works well for me. The transmitter has 3 buttons, 1 on the side and 2 in front. I assigned the buttons left to right based on the dogs ages...youngest on the left, etc. Works great for me. And although you haven't asked, I actually give myself a "hit" just so I know exactly what the dog is getting when corrected. You only want to get their attention, kinda like a tug on a leash,...not hurt them.

You need to make sure you know what or Who is wearing which. They do have different frequency. It is up to you to know If you have an obedient dog he should not be wearing one. I have use shock training with all mydogs they seemed to learn fast. I only have to show the remote now no need to push buttons
