Test Static With TLTTest Static With TLT

Use the provided Test Light Tool on your collar Contact Points and the collar set to the highest correction level to confirm it is providing static stimulation.

If you wish to feel the correction, we recommend turning the collar to a low level. Place both Contact Points in your palm and walk briskly toward the boundary. It is not uncommon to be unable to feel the lowest levels of correction.
