02 FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: THE PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVE
TRAINING. THECONTACT POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (2A), center the Collar
Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath your
dog’s neck, touching the skin (2B). If your dog has a
long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure
consistent contact: either trim the hair around the
Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points
included with your system.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between
the strap and your dog’s neck (2C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the
fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
STEP
::
03 FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR
DOG
Your SportDOG® Brand system has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation level
that is best for your dog. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is
called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or flicks his ears.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
FINDING YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL
NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any
slight change in behavior that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity Dial
at Level 1 and press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.
3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE
STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT
THE PROCESS.
4. Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
5. If you have progressed to the highest static stimulation level while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level
and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s neck.
Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static
stimulation, you have three options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to
the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change to a higher static stimulation range.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please
contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.

CHANGING STATIC STIMULATION RANGES
Your SportDOG® Brand Collar Receiver comes with 2-3 static stimulation ranges depending on the model. In the
Remote Transmitter’s default mode (see below) there are 21 static stimulation levels within each range, with 1
being the lowest and 21 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 or medium.
To change the range of static stimulation, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
2. Then turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.
3. After the Indicator Light turns off and within 5 seconds, press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
4. The Collar Receiver will then beep and the Indicator Light will flash orange as indicated by the chart below. Continue
to hold the button until the number of beeps/orange flashes equals the desired stimulation range shown.
5. Release the button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
6. Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the static stimulation range selected in Step 4.

04 PROGRAM THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER
Your Remote Transmitter has multiple operational modes (seven modes: SD-425X,
SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO, SD-825X, SD-1225X or fourteen modes: SD-1825X,
SD-1825XCAMO) to allow you to select the best match for your type or style of training.
The Remote Transmitter is factory set to mode 5 (SD-425X, SD-425XS, SD-425XCAMO,
SD-825X, SD-1225X) or 5:a (SD-1825X, SD-1825XCAMO). There is also one
programming mode (Mode V/T) which allows you to change the system’s ID code.
TO CHANGE THE MODE
1. Referring to the model appropriate mode chart on pages 7-9, choose your
desired mode number (1-7) and toggle position (a or b if using SD-1825X,
SD-1825XCAMO). Adjust both the Intensity Dial and Toggle Switch to match your
desired mode.
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 on the SD-1825X, switch the toggle to the grey/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 Transmitter Indicator Light will flash 6 times. However, if you select
Mode V/T (ID Code) in the grey/a position, the light will remain solid in color once the Mode Button is released.
NOTE: If you own an original SD-425, SD-425S, SD-425CAMO, SD-825, SD-1225, SD-1825, or SD-1825CAMO your
transmitter will work with the X-Series Add-A-Dog® collars, but you will need to download the correct mode chart
for your system from sportdog.com.

CHANGE ID CODES
An ID Code is the signal identification between the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver. Each is programmed
in 1 of 2,000 ID Codes from the factory. The Remote Transmitter has the flexibility to program two or more Remote
Transmitters to the same ID Code, allowing them to control one Collar Receiver. There are 64 programmable ID
Codes available.
TO MANUALLY PROGRAM A REMOTE TRANSMITTER’S ID CODE
1. Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T (if programing SD-1825X or SD-1825XCAMO place the toggle switch in the grey/a
position), and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does not
change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete.
2. Once the Mode Button is released, the Transmitter Indicator Light will illuminate solid green and stay on for 15
seconds.
3. While the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 1st digit of the ID and then press and
release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming selection.
4. Again, while the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 2nd digit of the ID and then press
and release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming selection. The 2nd digit is
optional and, if not desired, wait until the green light turns off and refrain from pressing the Side Button.
5. At the end of 15 seconds, or after the second press of the Side Button, the green Indicator Light will turn off and
the ID of the Remote Transmitter will be updated. At this point, the Remote Transmitter will be in the same mode
it was in prior to setting the ID.
6. Upon changing the ID Code, you will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 05).
NOTE: If you press the Side Button only once (skipping Step 4) the ID is still a two digit ID. The left digit is
defaulted to 1. For example, if you selected 6 in Step 3 and pressed the Side Button only once, the ID you get
will be 16.
TO RETURN THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER TO THE FACTORY ID
1. Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T (if programing SD-1825X or SD-1825XCAMO place the toggle switch in the
grey/a position) and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does
not change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete.
2. Do not press any buttons and wait until the green Transmitter Indicator Light turns off.
3. You will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 05).

BATTERY
This Collar Receiver operates on one Li-Ion battery pack. Only replace with battery received from calling the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
• 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 calling our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144. Please do not open the Collar Receiver until you have
received the replacement.
AT END OF PRODUCT LIFE, USE THESE BATTERY REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINAL DISPOSAL (DO NOT
OPEN THE COLLAR RECEIVER UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT):
• Using a 3/32 Hex Key for your Collar Receiver, 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
call the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144 for help in replacing your battery with one that is specifically
approved by Radio Systems Corporation®.
