No, Susie, I really don't have any stripes, as I
remember, I had to either hold one of the 3 buttons down then the
collar would puff 3 times, or I had to press one of the buttons down 3
times and the collar would puff once to tell me they had connected.
The collar must be 5 or 6 years old now, and was stored without
batteries to avoid corrosion but the red light just remains on on the
handset, like the button is stuck down - but it doesn't want to
connect. I suspect its broken, but I can't afford a new one right now,
Its a shame you can't rent them for a reasonable amount (you can but
they are expensive - nearly as expensive to buy a new one)
Oh well
perhaps the French will reply soon...
Many thanks though
Chantal
