1. If you want to compare the Marshall collar with another transmitter you must test them at the same time The easiest way to do this is to hang the Marshall collar and the collar you are comparing on a fence rail or level tree branch and do a drive off test It is important that both collars be at the same height off of the ground and that the antennas on both collars are facing vertically A quick test can be done a short distance away judging the relative signal strengths on your receiver but the best test is to drive off until you loose the first collar completely then check the signal of your Marshall collar As you are testing be sure to rotate the yagi antenna on your receiver to the vertical position matching that of the collar s antenna to find the best signal strength for each collar Remember that tests done in different places will always give different results Even testing at different times of day can give different results This is why you must always compare two transmitters by testing them together at the same time in the same place Using the Receiver The normal way to hold your receiver is with the antenna horizontal Horizontal gives more pinpoint accuracy but if you are tracking a very weak signal the vertical orientation might be better so try both The signal is strongest if the receiver antenna is lined up in the same orientation as the collar s antenna Since the collar s orientation on the dog and the terrain can2. PowerPoint HP collar uses a sophisticated activity switch to determine what your dog is doing The Two activity modes are Running When the dog is walking briskly or running the collar should send out a medium paced signal 55 pulses per minute roughly one pulse every second On Point When the dog has treed or is upright the transmitter will send out a fast short signal 110 pulses per minute roughly two pulses every second Marshall High Intensity Safety Lights You can run the transmitter by itself or with the High Intensity Lights The High Intensity Lights make use of super bright LED s which never need to be replaced The High Intensity Lights are designed to turn off 15 hours after being switched on enough to last until the sun comes up after one long winter night The High Intensity Lights will also turn off if the batteries get low red light comes on but the radio transmitter keeps going giving you time to recover your dog How long the collar will run Lights On and how far away you can see the High Intensity Lights depend 4 Hour Transmitter Hunts with time after Color lights on lights stop on the color of the lights coior range Color Range 1 3 mile E P 6 5dys E o l 6 5das The Blue and Green colors give you more time to run the lights and more time to track The Red and Amber colors are the brightest and can be seen the farthest but they don t last as long If you want bright

5. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Marshall PowerPoint Collar w High Intensity Safety Lights This high power tracking collar is designed to give the best range of any hound collar available while being the toughest and most rugged collar in the world And best of all it does all this while using standard AA batteries The collar s case was engineered using aerospace grade aluminum to give the strongest housing possible and is completely water proof It also incorporates an innovative On Off magnetic switch that allows you to leave the collar on the dog when not in use as well as two LED s on the side of the transmitter that let you know when it s running and when it is time to change the batteries Best of All the PowerPoint HP collar is AFTCA approved for use in Field Trials This manual will help you get the best results through a better understanding of the design and proper use in the field Please take time to read it thoroughly before using your new Marshall Collar On Off Switch The Marshall key chain magnet is used to turn the collar on off Simply tap the side of the collar marked with the on off symbol with the magnet When the transmitter is turned on with the magnet it will send out three rapid pulses along with 3 rapid blinks of the green indicator Practice giving it just a quick tap to turn it off Unlike most collars on the market you do not leave the magnet under the collar to keep the transmitter off ju
