CABELA’S EXCLUSIVE!
TRANSMITTER LOCATOR
At Cabela’s, we listen to bird hunters, gun
dog owners, and our customer feedback.
This feedback provides us with a huge
source of information about remote
training systems and desired features.
You’ve made an investment in this deluxe
remote training system, so we decided to
develop a method for locating your
transmitter, should it become lost while in
the field.
To turn ON Locate Mode, press and
release the LOCATE button (GS-6001) or
PROG/LOC button (GS-7001); the LOC
symbol appears in the display. If the
transmitter is motionless for 10 minutes,
an alarm sounds from the transmitter. This
alarm is easily heard up to 30 yards away
in most outdoor conditions. The alarm
sounds until a Transmitter keypad button
is pressed, or the battery goes dead. On a
full charge, the alarm sounds for up to 24
hours. This Transmitter Locator alarm
helps you find a lost transmitter. To turn
off Locate Mode, press and release the
LOCATE button (GS-6001) or PROG/LOC
button (GS-7001) and the LOC symbol
goes off in the display.
Cold Weather Operation
In cold temperatures (10°F or below), the
liquid crystal display (LCD) on your
Transmitter may be dim or slow to
respond. Wait until the display becomes
visible before selecting any training
commands.
Cold temperatures may lead to a
premature low battery signal, so keep the
transmitter close to your body (when not
in use) during cold weather.
Use the Lanyard: Attach the included
lanyard to the Transmitter. As shown in
the above graphics, slip the lanyard over
your head and shoulder (left) or position in
front of you (right) to carry your
Transmitter close to your body. Your
body’s warmth will improve cold-weather
operation.
Operating Range
Your Transmitter communicates with the
Collar Receiver via a radio signal. The
system’s operating range, as stated on
packaging, is based upon line-of-sight.
For best results to achieve maximum
distance, keep your fingers away from the
Transmitter antenna. When in use, hold
the transmitter upright, at or above
shoulder level, and away from your body
as shown.

The lightweight, comfortable electronic
Collar Receiver is integrated into a sleek
fashionable collar strap your dog wears.
The Collar Receiver produces a harmless,
yet effective stimulation and can emit a
training tone. The Collar Receiver is
waterproof and is safe for your dog to
wear even while swimming. The Collar
Receiver is rechargeable; the Charge
Cradle Indicator light glows red while
charging and glows green (flashing once
per second) when charging is complete.
The Collar Receiver uses the LED to let
you know its status.
To Turn the Collar Receiver ON:
When turning ON, the Collar Receiver will
emit a start-up tone sequence, and the
Collar Receiver light will show battery
charge level (green, amber, or red).
To Turn the Collar Receiver OFF:
Press and release the On/Off Button when
the Collar Receiver Indicator Light comes
on solid (red) and the Collar Receiver will
emit an off tone.
To extend the life between charging
cycles, turn the Collar Receiver off when it
is not in use.
NOTE: Approximate battery life between
charges is 40 to 60 hours, depending on
frequency of use.
Fitting the Collar Receiver
The collar strap should fit snugly towards
the top of your dog’s neck with the
receiver on the bottom of the neck.
Check that the Cabela’s
®
logo is right side
up. You should be able to get one finger
between the collar strap and your dog’s
neck. The contacts must touch the dog’s
skin for proper operation. A little hair
thinning may be required. Do not shave
your dog’s neck.
Occasionally, check the tightness of the
contacts to ensure they will not be lost
from the Collar Receiver. Lost parts are
not covered under your warranty.
Trim excess strap. You’ll want to leave
about 2 inches of excess strap. Note if
your dog is young and you expect it to
grow, you’ll want to leave extra strap to
allow for future collar fastening.
Replacement straps are available from
Cabela’s.
Note: Dogs’ coats are as unique as dogs
themselves. You may wish to try the
longer contacts if your dog has a very
heavy coat. Be certain your dog can feel
stimulation before training begins.
