Turning the Receiver Collar On and Off
To turn the Receiver Collar on, press and release the On/Off Button. The Receiver
Indicator Light will flash once after the button is released, indicating the Receiver Collar is
ready to receive signals from the Remote Transmitter.
Once the Receiver Collar has been turned on, press the top button of the Remote Transmitter.
Upon pressing, the Receiver Collar should beep for as long as the top button is pressed. If it does
not, see “To Pair the Remote Transmitter and the Receiver Collar” in the Troubleshooting section.
To turn the Receiver Collar off, press and release the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator
Light will flash two times after the button is released, indicating the unit has been turned off.
Note: To extend the life of the batteries, turn the Receiver Collar off when it is not in use.

will be two weeks.

Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar
is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have
direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Have your pet standing comfortably (
3A).
3A
2. Center the Contact Points underneath your pet’s
neck, touching the skin (
3B). If your pet has a long or
thick coat, longer Contact Points are available from
the Customer Care Center. Note: It is sometimes
necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points
to make sure that contact is consistent.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as
this may increase the risk of
skin irritation.
3. The Receiver Collar should fit snugly, yet loose
enough to allow one finger to fit between the
strap and your pet’s neck (
3C).
4. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several
minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again
as your pet becomes more comfortable with the
Receiver Collar. If your pet’s neck is less than
12” around, you will need to thread the part of
the collar which includes the antenna through
the buckle. It will be a tight fit.

5. Trim the collar as follows (
3D):
a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a
pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or
grows a thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and
cut off the excess.
Important: Do not cut the
part of the collar containing the Antenna.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto
your pet, seal the edge of the cut collar by
applying a flame along the frayed edge.

Risk of skin damage. For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product,
please ensure that you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently. If any skin
irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
Do not attach a leash to the Remote Trainer. This can result in pulling the Contact
Points too tightly against your pets neck. You may put a separate non-metallic
collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash. Do use a harness for attaching a
leash and/or tags while using the Remote Trainer.
Please refer to page 2 for additional information.
To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from
becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar will
slip if it is not properly threaded.
Find the Best Intensity Level for Your Pet
The Remote Trainer has ten (10) different Intensity Levels. This allows you to choose the
stimulation that is best for your pet.
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Intensity
Level that is best for your him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at
his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
