The ARC Handsfree unit has four buttons on the handheld 

transmitter (one on the face of the transmitter, two on the 

left side, and one on the right side).

The “Nick” button is located on top on the left side of the 

handheld transmitter. When the “Nick” button is pressed the 

receiver emits a single pulse of electrical stimulation.
Constant Button

The “Constant” button is located on the bottom on the left 

side of the handheld transmitter. Pressing the “Constant” 

button gives continuous stimulation as long as the button is 

pushed, for up to 12 seconds. If the button is not released 

after 12 seconds, the stimulation will automatically turn off 

as a safety feature. The collar will be ready to be reactivated 

once the button has been released.
Pager Button

The “Pager” button is located on the face of the transmitter. 

Pressing it will give non-stimulating vibration as long as the 

button is depressed, for up to 12 seconds.

The Handsfree uses the handheld transmitter as a long 

distance repeater. Using the handheld transmitter as a repeater 

requires the Handsfree to be within a range of 5 meters of 

the transmitter. The Handsfree assigns a unique code to the 

transmitter, ensuring that there are no interferences with other 

devices or transmitters. Press the Handsfree button when you 

want to operate the handheld transmitter. The Handsfree does 

not have an On/Off button.
The Handsfree has been tested and can be used in extreme 

conditions, between -20 to +60 degrees.

Depending on where the handheld transmitter is placed, 

your body can act as a barrier between the Handsfree and the 

transmitter. The handheld transmitter antenna should be kept 

in the open for maximum range. Placing the transmitter in 

the bottom of a bag or in a cargo pocket, where the antenna 

is covered, may reduce the range between the transmitter and 

the receiver/collar.
Battery Life

The LED on the Handsfree will blink when the button is 

pressed. Replace the battery in the Handsfree when the LED 

no longer blinks. With normal usage (button held for 12 

seconds, 100 times a day), the battery should last 7-10 years.
