Press and hold the pairing button on both the shock collar and the remote for 3-5 seconds. This will initiate the pairing process.
The devices will automatically pair with each other, and the remote will display a confirmation message when the pairing is complete.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is an essential part of pairing a shock collar with a remote, and it's not just about pressing buttons and hoping for the best.
First, make sure the receiver and transmitter are turned on. It's surprising how often this simple step gets overlooked.
If your dog isn't reacting to the e-collar stimulation, check the fit of the collar. If it's okay, check the prong length – if the contact points are too short, consider getting longer ones or shaving your dog's hair for better contact.
Check if the antenna is damaged, as this can affect the range of the device. Heavy brush or tree cover can also reduce the range, so keep that in mind when using the collar in the great outdoors.
Properly charged batteries are also crucial – if the charging port is dirty, clean it with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. If the charging pin is damaged, you'll need to contact Dogtra for repair.
