To Fit a Collar that has a Belt Buckle
1.
Undo the collar’s buckle
2.
Place the collar around the animal’s neck
Ensure the collar is oriented correctly. For more information, see the
diagram (previous page). If you need to punch a new hole in the strap,
ensure they are not too close to existing holes or edges.
3.
Do up the buckle, ensuring the strap is securely fastened
4.
(If relevant) Cut off any excess strap
If the strap is too long for the animal, it may become a hindrance.
When cutting, ensure sufficient length (at least two centimetres) of
strap beyond the loop when tucked under. Do not cut the antenna.
Cutting the antenna will reduce its performance.
The animal is ready to release.
