3. chEckiNg ThE PROdUcT is WORkiNg
To check that the equipment is working correctly, use a test light. Fasten the crocodile clip
to the electrodes (26), then send one or more stimulations using the remote control.
If the receiver is working correctly, the test light will light up with each impulse.
If the test light does not light up at level 1 or more, contact your dealer.
If the dog does not react when impulses are sent, repeat this test at various distances so
as to check that it is not a problem with the range. If this is the case, replace the batteries
on the equipment.
If the receiver works at long range with the test light, but the dog does not react, check
that the collar is positioned correctly.
4. FiTTiNg ThE cOLLaR TO ThE dOg
When fitting the collar, ensure that the receiver is positioned at the bottom, under the dog’s
neck, staying clear of the fur and underfur so as to ensure a good contact with the skin
The adjustment of the strap is very important for the correct use of the equipment. If the
strap is too loose, the electrodes will not be in contact with the dog’s skin and it will not
feel the stimulations.
If the strap is too tight, the dog will find it more difficult to breathe.
5. iMPROviNg ThE PERFORMaNcE
So as to obtain a maximum operating range, certain precautions are needed in order to
optimise the radio transmissions between the remote control and the receiver.
(These precautions are only necessary for long distance transmissions.)
•
Point the remote control upwards whilst stretching your arm upwards as well.
• Use batteries which are in good condition.
6. PREcaUTiONs FOR UsE
Never leave the collar on the animal’s neck for long periods of time (not for more than
eight consecutive hours). This could result in damage to the skin on the dog’s neck due to
pressure and rubbing from the receiver’s metallic electrodes.
Check daily that the dog does not have roughness or irritation of the skin, or any cuts
in the area of the neck which comes into contact with the electrodes. If this occurs,
remove the collar immediately, provide the appropriate health care and wait until it has
completely healed before replacing the collar (you may have to put the collar on at a looser
fitting than that which caused the skin irritation). If the skin condition does not improve,
