Rechargeable Batteries
•The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive and
do not require depletion before charging.
•The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge
(up to 12 hours) before the first use.
•If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience
a decrease in battery life the first few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to
previous capacity levels.
•You should expect many years of battery life from the rechargeable batteries before
replacement. Please contact Customer Care for replacement batteries.
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver 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 assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (3A).
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your dog’s neck close to the ears.
Center the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching
the skin (3B). Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair
around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.
3A
Do not shave the pet’s neck as
this may increase the risk of
skin irritation.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by
inserting one finger between the collar and
your dog’s neck (3C). The fit should be snug
but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar for
several minutes then recheck the fit. Check
the fit again as your dog becomes more
comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
To Prevent Skin Irritation From Occurring
Risk of skin damage. For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this
product, please ensure that you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently.
If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
Do not attach a leash to the Remote Trainer. This can result in pulling the
Contact Points too tightly against your pets neck. You may put a separate
non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash. Do use a
harness for attaching a leash and/or tags while using the Remote Trainer.
Please refer to page 2 for additional information.
