Proper fit of the Sunbeam® Receiver Collar is essential to establish a good training foundation and optimal performance.
NOTE: Batteries should be installed properly and the Receiver Collar should be in the OFF position before
proceeding with fitting the collar to your dog .
STEP 1: Ensure dog is in a relaxed position .
STEP 2: With the collar clasp open loosen the adjustment buckle such that it can
reach completely around your dog’s neck. (fig. 27)
When buckled, the collar should rest directly behind the dog’s ears (the highest
part of the neck). (fig. 28)
Note: Make sure both stainless steel probes go through the coat completely and
make contact with the skin .
Use the longer stainless steel probes if the coat does not allow the shorter probes
to reach the skin .
Before changing the stainless steel probes you must completely discharge the
Receiver Collar . Be sure the unit is in the OFF position and place the metal portion
of a plastic handle screwdriver across both stainless steel probes for 5 seconds.
Trimming the hair around the dog’s neck where the stainless steel probes
will touch the skin is optional, DO NOT trim the hair so short that the skin is
completely exposed as this might allow for an irritation or rash to occur.
Use a wrench when assembling or disassembling the stainless steel probes,
do not over tighten. (fig. 29)
STEP 3: Close and lock clasp. (fig. 30)
STEP 4: Adjust for proper fit by pulling on strap until you can fit two fingers in
between your dog’s neck and the collar. (fig. 31)
STEP 5: Let your dog wear the product for sufficient time confirming that they are
moving around normally . This step is to ensure that under daily activity the collar
will remain secure and not become loose.
STEP 6: Remove collar from dog and cut the excess collar material, leaving
approximately 1 inch .
STEP 7: Seal the edge of the collar using a flame.
STEP 8: Reattach collar to your dog. Check the fit of the collar several
times per day. Wipe the stainless steel probes weekly with a damp cloth while
collar is in OFF position .
Reminder: If you choose to use a 2nd collar, leash or harness system, make sure
it does not interfere with the operation of the Sunbeam® Receiver Collar.
