Installing/Replacing the Battery:

Take off the battery cover and make sure you install the battery correctly. 

Install the new battery between the "clip" and "spring" contacts. Note that "spring" contact
is for the negative end and "clip" contact is for the positive end shown below.
Putting Anti-bark Collar on Your Dog. 

Place the unit around your dog's neck and adjust the collar length using the slide buckle
arrangement provides with the strap. The unit should fit snugly underneath your dog's
neck. 

Make sure that the electrodes are in the direct contact with your dog's skin. Hair between
the electrodes and skin will severely diminish the shock effect and the correction will not
occur.  If correction becomes random and the collar starts to trigger, tt is advisable to try
the different size prongs or trying to adjusting the  collar.

Principles of operation:

At the first bark, the collar applies a short warning tone. If a second bark occurs within
thirty seconds, a more intense tone is sounded. From the third bark, a more intense tone
is sounded along with a short, mild shock. 

This pattern is repeated through 7 correction levels.   The first two levels are only with
progressively warning tone. If your dog continues to bark through the rest five levels, the
more intense sound and shock are applies after each bark until your pet stops for thirty
seconds,   and then  the  collar   will  automatically resets  to  the first   "tone only"   level  of
correction. 

To protect the dog, if the continuous stimulus reaches the 7 levels, then the collar will
stop working for 1 minute and the red LED light will begin to flash.

The use of the warning tone followed by increasingly intense tones and shocks sets up a
pattern that your dog will quickly learn is caused by its own barking. It takes time to break
bad habits. 

When  your   dog  forgets   and  barks  again,   the  warning  tone  reminds   your   pet   without
