A couple of things on this. Make sure you are on the same collar on your button. It Most of the controller you have will say collar 1 or collar 2. Also by pressing your mode for maybe 10-15 seconds, the mode will come on. If you have it on and dont use it for about a minute, you will have to press the mode for a few seconds and it will come back on.

I havent had any issues, maybe it needs some new batteries, those may be bad. If that doesnt solve the problen, you may want to send it back for another one, that could just be a bad lot you recieved! Good luck

I'd suggest removing the batteries and then reinserting them and see if it resets. If not, then I think you might as well throw it away. I sent an Email to the manufacturer once about a problem I was having and they didn't respond.

I had trouble with the batteries. If you leave them in either the transmitter or the remote they will die. I would make sure all the batteries are good.

My sensor(transmitter) is located under the eves of the house at the front door. I have had it there one month and it is still working on the first 99 cent battery. But birds land on it(mostly at sundown) an give false signals (it needs occasional cleaning). I would think it is better to shelter the transmitter if possible.

I was told by PetSafe that you cannot replace the battery. PetSafe was great, though, about replacing my transmitter when it died early (less than a year?) and one lady phone helper gave me excellent advice to not store the collar near any batteries or magnets (such as speakers) or even metal appliances, etc. That seemed to be my problem with 2 receivers because, after I learned that, I have had much longer life with my latest receiver. That info is not in the manual and several other techs seemed to either not know it or not share it.

I also have a problem with Speakers shutting off often, and I have them plugged in, not on batteries. When they work, it is great. Wondering if it would help if I got a larger transmitter.

I removed the batteries, then, reinserted them. Worked for me. I only had one unit that started to stay on.

When the transmitter is off hold the trim button that is beneath the right stick to the right while simultaneously switching the power on. Do it again to switch it back.

Hi Mary, Make sure the spoke magnet gap is set correctly. It needs to be close enough to the sending unit in order to produce a signal. You can also pull the battery out of the receiving unit temporarily to reset it. Good luck and I hope you get it working. I have two of these and both work well. I did have to reset one of them after a long winter of inactivity but it functions fine now. Bob

you take off battery cover and hold down program button (inside by batteries) and while holding it down you press and release 4-way button on top . that puts it in training mode , when done you just do that procedure again and it will be back to normal

It must be broken - if you put new batteries in, should work. Contact seller.

The transmitter goes off after certain amount of time to save the battery. Make sure you hit the little sound button so that the blue light goes on on the dog. Make sure it's on the number one dog.

I have not tried to do this yet but there usually is a reset button that a paper clip fits into to for reset. Another way is to take out the batteries, this should reset the unit and reprogram it. Hope this helps. Try also holding the main program button down for 5 to 8 seconds and see if the screen reboots. That's my advice and let me know if any one of these works so if I encounter the same problem I will know how to correct it. Good luck

I called Midland Radio with same problem. I had two new batteries (bought a pair of radios) seven days later at no cost. Their customer service was first-rate.

You have to unplug the battery on the Quadcopter first then turn off the transmitter. Have some extra battery,s for the Quadcopter. philboatbike

Mine worked fine when I purchased it. The only problem I have had since it the battery going dead in the antenna, which I replaced and is working fine again. Make sure that the switches are in the correct positions. That is about all I can tell you, other than contacting the manufacture and see it they can be of some help.

No activation needed, I believe it is defective. Return it for a replacement.
