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. 7)
When buckled, the collar should rest directly behind the dog’s
ears (the highest part of the neck). (fig. 8)
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. 9)
STEP 3: Close and lock clasp. (fig. 10)
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. 11)
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.
