4
hrs
FPO
To power the Collar ON, press and release the power button. The Collar
will beep and the Indicator Light will flash blue then green or red
depending on the battery status. After several seconds, the health sensor
lights will glow steady green.
To power OFF, press and hold the button until the Collar beeps and light
is red.
1. Snap the charging clip on
the Collar by aligning the
brass contacts on the clip
to the connection points on
the Collar and matching
up the SportDOG
®
logos.
The Collar takes 4 hours to
charge.
2. Connect the USB end on the charging
cable to the wall adapter and plug into a
standard wall outlet. The Collar Indicator
Light will be solid green while charging
and flash green when fully charged.

STEP 2: FIT THE COLLAR ON
YOUR DOG
PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR IS IMPERATIVE FOR
EFFECTIVE TRAINING AND USE. THE HEALTH SENSORS AND CONTACT
POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.
1

3
1. Your dog should be standing comfortably while fitting the collar.
2. Position the collar as high as possible on your dog’s neck and slightly
to either side, not directly centered. Buckle the collar so that it fits
snuggly.
3. You should only be able to fit one finger between the strap and your
dog’s neck. This will help ensure the health sensor and the contact
points are both touching your dog’s skin. If your dog has a long or
thick coat, trim the hair around the contact points to ensure contact
with the skin.
Check the fit again after your dog becomes more comfortable wearing it
and adjust as necessary.
NOTE: If using an additional Collar (such as GPS), it should be located
beneath this training collar.

STEP 3: HOW TO CHANGE THE
HANDHELD MODE
Your FieldSentinel
™
Handheld has multiple 2-Dog operational modes to
allow you to select the best match for your type or style of training.
Should you choose to update your FieldSentinel Handheld mode to
something other than Mode 1 in the Toggle Switch UP position, refer to
the mode chart on the following page and use the below steps. Otherwise,
move to STEP 4 to match both Collars to your system.
TO CHANGE THE MODE
1. Adjust both the Intensity Dial and Toggle Switch
to match your desired mode from the chart on
page 6.
2. Turn the Remote Transmitter over and remove
the belt clip (if attached).
3. Using a pen or the tine on the buckle of your
collar strap, press and release the Mode
Button. When the Mode Button is pressed, the
Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid in color.
When it is released, it will flash a number of
times that corresponds to the mode selected.
For example, if mode 6:a is desired, switch the toggle to the a position
and adjust the Intensity Dial to Level 6. Once the Mode Button has been
depressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid, and once the
Mode Button is released, the Handheld Indicator Light will flash 6 times.

STEP 4: PROGRAM THE SYSTEM
FOR 2-DOG OPERATION
A SportDOG
®
Add-A-Dog
®
Collar (FS-AD) must be purchased to train an
additional dog with your FieldSentinel
™
system.
TWO-DOG OPERATION
SportDOG Collars can be set to respond to either the a or b toggle
position on the Remote Transmitter. Once you have a multi-dog mode
selected, make sure the Toggle Switch is in the a position to program the
first collar using these steps:
1. Turn off the Collar Receiver.
2. Press and hold the On/Off Button on the Collar. The Indicator Light
will come on, then turn off in 4-5 seconds. If the On/Off Button is
released too early, the Indicator Light will begin its normal flashing.
If this occurs, start over from beginning.
3. After the Indicator Light has turned off, release the On/Off Button.
4. Press and hold the Upper Button on the Handheld until the Collar
Indicator Light flashes 5 times. If the Collar Indicator Light does not
flash 5 times, start over from beginning.
5. To program the second Collar, repeat Steps 1 through 4, but with the
toggle switch in the b position.
NOTE: Should you wish to raise or lower the stim range
setting on either collar, detailed instructions can be
found on our support site. Scan the QR code found here.

BATTERY
This Collar operates on one Li-Ion battery pack. Only replace with battery
received from the Customer Care Center.
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for
charging.
• Rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not
require depletion before charging, and cannot be over charged.
• The battery comes partially charged from the factory, but will require a full
charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries
a full charge. This should be done once every 3 to 4 months.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery. However,
all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of
recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops
to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a
new battery.
• The battery should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs
replacement, you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care
Center.
AT END OF PRODUCT LIFE, USE THESE BATTERY REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FINAL DISPOSAL (DO NOT OPEN THE COLLAR UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE
REPLACEMENT):
• Using a 3/32 Hex Key for your Collar, remove the case screws.
• Remove the case back or cover.
• Remove the old battery pack.
These instructions are not valid for repair or battery replacement. To avoid
invalidating your warranty, please contact the Customer Care Center for help in
replacing your battery with one that is specifically approved by Radio Systems
Corporation.
