Setting the R7 & R8 Receivers

Setting The Receiver:
Both R7 and R8 Receivers provide six training levels that allow you to customize the training setting to your dog’s individual needs: Audible Only, Level 1(low), Level 2 (medium), Level 3 (medium high), Level 4 (high), and Level 5 (extra-high). When the receiver is first turned on (from the manufacturer) it will automatically be set to Training Level 2 (Medium).

Changing the R7 and R8 Receiver Settings:
If you need to change the training level on the receiver, hold your test light magnet to the two raised lines on the side of the receiver (Figures 4 and 5.) Hold the magnet steady and you will hear a series of beeps that indicate the current (set) training level. The Training Level will continue to advance as long as the magnet is held in position. For example, Level One is one beep, Level 2 is two beeps, etc. The beeps (or Receiver Tones) represent the Training Level the receiver is set at.

When you reach the desired training level setting, pull the magnet away from the receiver. The receiver is now set. Note: Any time the magnet activates the receiver, it will first tell you what level the receiver is set to. As long as the magnet is held in place, it will advance the receiver to the next training level and continue to cycle through the settings in the order shown in the chart on Page 8 of your DogWatch Owner's Guide.

AutoMemory™ Correction:
Levels 2, 3 and 4 contain the AutoMemory™ feature. When the receiver is set to one of the AutoMemory levels, and the dog enters the signal field, the dog will receive the correction of the initial setting. When the dog then leaves the signal field the receiver will automatically advance the correction level setting by one, and only one level. If the dog does not re-enter the signal field within the next 24 hour period, the receiver defaults to the original setting.
