Tri-Tronics Pro 500XLS - Manual (Page 8)

Always slip the
free end of the
collar strap
through the D-ring.
With models that have
a rectangular buckle,
be sure to slip the free
end of the strap
through both sides
of the buckle.
You can easily adjust the strap for different sized necks by
sliding the receiver along the strap. If the collar strap is too
long for your dog, you can cut off excess strap length. Leave
enough length to go through the D-ring or keeper with about
three inches to spare.
Note: Do not cut the strap of an Upland Special XLS until after
you have also installed the Beeper on the strap.
Please note that Remote Trainers are not designed to be
worn continuously by a dog. To prevent irritation caused by
rubbing, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every
24-hour period. See the important message about avoiding
skin irritation on page 20.
Also please note that a leash can be attached to the D-ring on
models that have a collar buckle, but should not be attached
to the metal keeper on models that have a rectangular buckle.
TURNING THE REMOTE TRAINER ON AND OFF
The Remote Trainer consists of a hand-held transmitter and
a radio receiver on the dog’s collar. The collar must be turned
on before it can receive signals from the transmitter. Between
training sessions, you should turn the collar off to save
battery life.
To turn the Remote Trainer collar on, press the gray button
on the collar. The collar light will start blinking (“double flash”)
and you will hear two tones, confirming that the collar is on.
To turn the collar off, press the gray button. The collar light
will make one long flash to indicate that the collar is turned
off. You will hear one tone, confirming that the collar is off.
You can also turn a collar off by placing it on its charger.
FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
Place the collar strap in the middle of the dog’s neck.
The receiver should be on the underside of his neck.
Place the receiver so the light is facing forward (towards
the dog’s nose).
Tighten the buckle by holding it with two fingers as you
pull the strap snug. Do not put any fingers under the strap
as you tighten it. Make it snug. Remote Trainers need to be
snug to work properly. A loose collar can cause inconsistent
stimulation.
