least 2 seconds. Be sure to reward your dog frequently with praise or food for not barking.
Wait at least 10-15 minutes after the last bark before removing your dog’s No-Bark Collar. The unit will store
the warning level described earlier. The next time you use the No-Bark Collar, your dog’s first bark will yield
a stimulation at the proper warning level.
IMPORTANT!
• Always use the rubber insulators between the collar strap and stimulation probes to provide insulation in
damp conditions.
• If needed, a small amount of hair removal or thinning will improve probe contact with the skin.
• Never leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day or when you are away.
• Check your dog daily for skin irritation.
• Check the tightness of the probes regularly to prevent loss of the receiver.
Helpful Hints and Training Guide
To get the most out of your new bark collar, please make sure to follow these steps before you begin:
• Always make sure the collar is functioning properly before you put it on the dog.
• Allow your dog to get used to the collar before introducing the potential for a barking incident. You want
your dog to accept the collar as part of a routine, not to associate the collar with correction.
• Be sure to reward your dog frequently with praise or food for not barking.
Troubleshooting
If the collar appears not to be working, try the following before contacting an INNOTEK Service Center:
• Adjust neck strap fit (#1 source of troubleshooting calls)
• Replace the 6-v alkaline battery (BC-50E)
• Recharge the collar receiver (BC-200E)
• Tighten the probes
• Ensure the probes are touching the dog's skin
• Trim hair or use longer probes. Do not shave the dog’s neck.
General Maintenance
The No-bark collar requires very little maintenance. The BC-50E is water-resistant; the BC-200E is
waterproof. To clean, simply wipe with soap and water. Never place the collar in a dishwasher.
Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any components; this will void the manufacturers warranty. These
components contain computerized circuitry, and can only be serviced by an authorized INNOTEK Service
Center.
