Dogtra YS 200, Owner'S Manual

Page: 7 / 11

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. My dog has skin irritation.
- This may be due to an improper fit or leaving
the collar in the same location for an extended
period of time. If your dog exhibits signs of
skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian.
2. My dog is not reacting to the YS200.
- Check the LED indicator while testing the
unit. If the LED indicator does not come on,
the batteries may need to be replaced.
- Tighten the collar strap around your dog’s
neck if it is too loose and make sure the
contact points are held firmly against the
dog’s skin.
- If your dog has a thick or long coat and you
already have the extended contact points,
you may need to trim the hair on your dog’s
neck so that both contact points are touching
your dog’s skin.
3. I need to clean the YS200.
- To clean the YS200, make sure the battery
cover is closed and fully sealed, and wipe
down the unit with a damp cloth and some
alcohol. Make sure the unit is completely dry
before use.
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that it has
close contact with your dog's neck to ensure
proper vibration. You should be able to fit a
finger in between the product and your dog’s
skin. The best location is on either side of the
dog’s windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move
around on the dog’s neck, which may rub
against the skin and cause irritation. If the
receiver is too loose, the contact will not be
consistent and cause the corrections to be
inconsistent.
Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location
on the dog’s neck for an extended period
of time can cause skin irritation due to
sensitivity. If the dog is to wear the receiver
for long periods, occasionally reposition
the receiver every few hours to a different
location on the dog’s neck and remove the
receiver after eight hours of usage. Make
sure you check for skin irritation each time
you use the unit.
