FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

intensity dial serve?
Depending upon which mode you have selected, you will be able to give
continuous or momentary stimulation to your dog using the numbers on
the intensity dial, or give vibration or tone with the intensity dial set to V/T
all with the same button on your Remote Transmitter.
Is the stimulation safe for my dog?
While Continuous or Momentary stimulation may be unpleasant, it is
harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and
training from the owner to achieve desired results.
How old does a dog have to be
before using the ProHunter
®
2525?
Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit”
or “Stay.” The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs under 8 pounds.
Once my dog is trained and has
been obeying my commands, will
my dog have to continue to wear
the Collar Receiver?
Your dog may need to wear the Collar Receiver from time to time for
reinforcement. Also, many hunters keep the Collar Receiver on their dog(s)
while hunting for maximum control.
Is the Collar Receiver waterproof?
Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be replaced, make sure
the o-ring and o-ring groove are free from dirt and debris to ensure a good
seal.

around salt water?
If the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water, the Collar Receiver
should be rinsed with fresh water following each use.

Can I use the ProHunter 2525 on
aggressive dogs?
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs.

to determine if your dog might be aggressive.
Will I get exactly two miles of
range with the ProHunter 2525?
The range you get with your ProHunter 2525 will vary according to terrain,
weather, vegetation, as well as, transmission from other radio devices. To
get the maximum amount of range, please refer to the “How the System
Works” section of this guide.

deliver stimulation to my dog?
The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous Stimulation
Button and deliver stimulation to your dog continuously is 10 seconds. After
10 seconds, the Remote Transmitter will “time-out,” and the Continuous
Stimulation Button must be released and pressed again.
What do I do if my dog’s neck
becomes red and irritated?
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin. Discontinue
use of the Collar Receiver for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48
hours, see your veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, resume use,
and monitor the skin condition closely.
The Intensity Dial seems diffi cult
to rotate. Is this normal?
Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and encourages an
optimal waterproof seal. The knob will “break in” and be slightly easier to
turn as you use it.

ProHunter 2525?
DO NOT attach a leash to the ProHunter 2525. You may put a separate non-
