Functionality Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
The motion sensor switches on automatically when the battery compartment points downwards and the LEUCHTIE is in motion. If the battery compartment faces upwards, it slowly switches off after approx. 1 minute. Therefore, suspend the LEUCHTIE e.g. on a hook for storage.
The magnetic sensor is switched on and off using the supplied magnet. The magnetic sensor is located in the light tube, opposite the tip of the battery compartment. To switch your LEUCHTIE on and off, pass the magnet closely over this point.
Hint: If the LEUCHTIE is switched off by the magnetic sensor, the motion sensor will not work.
Tip: As an alternative to the supplied magnet, you can use another sufficiently strong magnet, e.g. your mobile phone.

Choosing the right LEUCHTIE size for your dog
LEUCHTIE will be placed over the dog's head as closed ring and turns on and off automatically.
Consequently, for choosing the right size you have to measure the dog's head circumference, not the neck (for exceptions see point 3).
- Please put a tape measure tightly around the widest part of the dog’s head, just in front of the ears.
If you don't have a tape measure, please use a piece of string which you can use around the head and then measure with a ruler. Please measure tightly.
- Select the LEUCHTIE size closest to this measurement from the list provided.
If you meausure between two sizes, please choose the smaller size preferably.
- Does your dog have a larger neck than head circumference, e. g. due to dense, long-haired fur on the neck (Australian Shepherd, Collie, Newfoundland etc.)?
Then please measure the neck circumference as an additional size at the place and in the width on / in which the LEUCHTIE should be and orient yourself more towards this when choosing the size.

Breed examples |
| Weight specifications as well as breed examples are merely empirical values, not binding information. The LEUCHTIE size can vary depending on the physique, gender and texture of the fur; bitches for example tend to wear one size smaller than males and dogs with long fur at the neck often wear a number bigger than shorthaired dogs. |
