E-Collar Technologies Barkless Pro BP-504 Owner's Manual - page 4
SENSOR SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The BP-504 is designed with the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the
bark sensor. Most dogs will work well with the medium setting;
however, some dogs with softer or whining barks may need to be set to
high to get reliable activations. Larger breed with very loud bark or
when the user wants to allow some softer barking the setting can be
changed to low setting. The owner are the best judge of what setting
best suits you dog.
-
To change the sensitivity, press the Control Button for 2
seconds when the Sensitivity Sensor Mode is displayed.
The LCD display will start blinking and show the current
setting.
-
Press the Control Button to change the sensor sensitivity.
Sensory sensitivity will be switched from low, medium, and
high in sequence.
-
Once desired setting is displayed, press the Control Button
for 2 seconds to save the desired setting. The LCD display
will stop blinking and return to the normal operating mode.
PAVLOVIAN TONE ON / OFF ADJUSTMENT
The BP-504 utilizes a tone prior to the stimulation commonly known as
Pavlovian Tone; it improves training and allows the dog to prepare for
the stimulation making it a more humane experience. Some users may
desire the stimulation to be at the instance of the bark and therefore will
need to turn off the tone. Also, if your dog experiences “tone
superstition” to other tones it may be best to turn it off.
-
To change the setting from the defaulted ON position,
simply toggle to the “O” and hold the Control Button for 2
seconds. The LCD display will start blinking and show the
current setting of ON “O”.
-
Press the Control Button to toggle to OFF “F”. The Pavlovian
Tone feature is now OFF.
TESTING THE BARKLESS PRO BP-504 COLLAR
The BP-504 has a test mode which allows testing of the stimulation. The
sensor can only be tested on a dog using the instructions provided.
-
To test the stimulation the unit needs to be in Test Mode
“T”. Pressing the Control Button for 2 seconds activates the
stimulation for 3 seconds at the set level of stimulation with
LED blinking red after one second of buzzing sound.
-
To test the bark sensor the unit should be set to Zero
Stimulation “L0” and the tone should be turned off “F”. Put
the unit on the dog and count the barks remembering that it
will only register barks every 5 seconds. Remove the unit
and look at the bark counter and make sensitivity
adjustments accordingly.
INDICATOR LIGHT
Once the unit is turned on, the Indicator Light will flash green when the
battery is charged. It will flash Amber when it needs a charge within the
next 24 hours and Red when charging is required for continued
operation. The BP-504 will go into a Sleep Mode if there is no
programming or bark activity. In Sleep Mode the unit will still detect
barks but will not show the battery life, simply pressing the Control
Button will wake up the unit.
