This System is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent,
using Static Correction to condition pets to remain outside of the established
barrier area. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular
basis. Since the tolerance level to Static Correction varies from pet to pet, Radio
Systems® Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will in all cases keep
a pet outside of the established barrier area. Not all pets can be trained to avoid
entering the barrier area. Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may
harm himself or pose a danger to others if he is not kept from entering the barrier
area, you should NOT rely solely upon this system to restrict your pet. Radio
Systems® Corporation shall NOT be liable for any personal injuries, property
damage, injury to or death of your pet, economic loss or any consequential
damages sustained as a result of any animal entering the barrier area.
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on
the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers;
this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this
manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive
pressure on the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a
damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has
healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
- For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are
comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to
contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the
collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue
daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use
until the skin has fully healed.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the
dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• To prevent an unintended correction, do not perform set up procedures
while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.
• If you are using a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does
not put pressure on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
To avoid damage to the transmitter do not submerge in water.
