Operation Guide
Thank you for purchasing this Containment
System.
This electronic dog training system is among the
safest, most humane and effective training prod-
ucts you can buy. Used properly, the collar’s elec-
tronic stimulation serves as a distraction that your
dog will find undesirable. By complying, your dog
quickly learns to shut off the stimulation, thus
gaining confidence in response to your com-
mands.
Please take a few minutes to read the instruction
manual prior to first use and retain the manual for
future reference. This instruction manual contains
important programming and set-up information to
help your training proceed as successfully as pos-
sible. For best results follow these important safe-
guards:
I M P O R TANT SAFEGUARDS
1.Obey all warnings contained in this manual.
2. The electronic dog collar is intended only for
use on dogs over 6 months of age. Never attempt
to use this product for any purpose not specifical-
ly described in this manual.
3.If you have any reason to believe that your dog
may pose a danger to others, harm itself, or would
react adversely after receiving stimulations from
this containment system, you should not rely
solely on this product to contain your dog.
4. Do not leave the collar on your dog for more
than 12 hours per day.
5.Never perform set-up procedures when the col-
lar is on your dog.
6. Monitor the system prior to use and after
changing any settings to ensure that the unit is
operating properly.
7.Do not use this system if you suspect the bat-
tery in the collar receiver is low.
8. Keep out of the reach of children.
9. Your dog will not respond to your system
unless:
A. You train your dog and utilize the Training
tips section of this manual.
B. The collar receiver has a working battery.
Do not use if you suspect a low battery in it.
C. The collar receiver is worn properly by the
dog.
D. The collar receiver is adjusted so that the
probes are touching your dog’s skin.
E.The wall transmitter is on, connected to the
containment loop wire, and producing a
signal along the loop wire .
F. The 12-volt, 200 mAmp, adapter is
plugged into the wall transmitter and is
connected to a 110-volt household outlet.
10. The following precautions should always be
taken:
A.Never service or install a system or any
equipment during a thunder or electrical
storm.
B. Never install the wall transmitter where it
could be exposed to the elements. Doing so
will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
C. Monitor the wall transmitter periodically to
ensure that the unit is operating properly and
is producing a signal along the loop wire.
D. Always remove your dog’s collar receiver
before making any adjustments to your
system.
E.Allow your dog to get used to the collar
before you begin training. You want your dog
to accept the collar as part of a routine, not
to associate the collar with the stimulation.
11. To prevent the elimination of an adequate safe
zone in your yard, any adjustments to the field
width must be tested prior to using the system
with your dog. Once the field width has been set
and tested, turning the knob in a clockwise direc-
tion will increase the stimulation area and may
eliminate the safe zone, thus causing stimulations
to be present throughout your entire yard. If you
have questions, please contact Innotek
® at 1-800-
826-5527, before using the system with your dog.
12. Realize that because individual dogs have
unique temperaments, there is no way of knowing
how your dog will react to its introduction to the
system. For the safety of your dog, initial training
should take place using a long leash to keep you
in control of the situation. Also realize that an
aggressive dog could turn against the handler
upon receiving the stimulation. Therefore, if you
feel your dog has an aggressive temperament
and/or it has a history of aggressive behavior, you
should consult a certified animal behav i o ri s t
before using this product.
