HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN MY SPORTDOG® UPLANDHUNTER® 1875 REMOTE
If you need to replace the rubber charge port cover on your remote transmitter, this should be done while changing the battery as they both require opening the remote transmitter. Visit HOW TO REPLACE RUBBER COVER ON MY SPORTDOG® UPLANDHUNTER® 1875 REMOTE.
Remove the screws from the back of the remote with a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Then remove the back cover.
If you purchased a battery replacement kit from our website, a Phillips screwdriver is provided in the kit.
Carefully pull the battery’s wire plug out of the connector in the remote transmitter. If it doesn’t initially come out, pull harder.
Take the new battery’s wire plug and insert it into the connecter in the remote transmitter. Then place the battery inside the back of the remote transmitter.
Remove the rubber gasket from the battery cover. You can do this with a paperclip or something similar.
You may need to wipe out any dirt or debris that has built up.
Replace the gasket with the new gasket provided in your battery replacement kit. This step is important for the remote to remain waterproof.
Put the front and back of the remote back together, and hand tighten all 8 screws. Be careful not to fasten the screws too tight as this can damage the remote.
You will need to pair your remote transmitter and collar after replacing the battery.
