Fit the Training Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your training collar is important for effective operation.
The contact points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To ensure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the training collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (
A
).
3. Place the training collar on your pet so that the
PetSafe
®
logo is right side up and the training
collar is directly under your dog’s chin. Centre the
contact points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (
B
).
NOTE: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the
contact points to make sure that contact is consistent. We have also included longer contact points.
4. Check the tightness of the training collar by inserting
one finger between the end of a contact point and
your dog’s neck (
C
). The fit should be snug but
not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several
minutes, then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your
dog becomes more comfortable with the training collar.
6. Trim the training collar as follows (
D
):
a. Mark the desired length of the training collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
b. Remove the training collar from your pet and cut off the excess and seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame
along the frayed edge.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The training collar should not be worn for more than
12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the training collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.
Charge the Training Collar
Excessive charging can shorten battery life. We do not recommend charging your training collar daily unless a low battery
indication is shown.
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the training collar charging jack and connect the charger (
E
).
2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical wall outlet. The red LED will appear.
3. Recharges take no more than 5 hours. Although your training collar should be partially charged
upon purchase, you will want to fully charge it before beginning training. The green LED is solid after
charging is complete.
4. When the training collar is charged, replace the rubber cover.
To Turn the Training Collar On
1. Press and hold the on/off button (
F
) until you hear a low to high beep and the green LED appears,
and then release.
2. The green LED will flash once every 5 seconds. This indicates the training collar is on and ready to
receive a signal from your smartphone.
To Turn the Training Collar Off
1. Press and hold the on/off button until the training collar beeps high to low, and then release. The red
LED will be illuminated during the button press and will turn off when the training collar turns off.
Quick Tip:
When you are not using the collar, you will want to turn it off. This will increase the battery life of your training collar.
