Petsafe Innotek 450 m Remote Training Collar - Manual (Page 5)

To avoid confusing your dog, never use the collar when you suspect a low battery is causing intermittent
operation.
Store the collar with a full charge. If the collar is in storage or won’t be used for an extended period, every
2 months it should be recharged.
Important Note About Matching Your Transmitter and Collar Receiver: Any time you change the ID code
or replace the transmitter battery, you need to once again match the transmitter and receiver. You can match
the two units by holding the red paper dot on the transmitter against the red paper dot on the receiver.
Continue holding the red paper dots together until the receiver light is solid. Separate the two units and the
receiver light will start flashing. Press the transmitter button and the units will match. NEVER match the
collar receiver and transmitter while the dog is wearing the collar.
Fitting the Collar to Your Dog
Probes:
1. Use short probes for shorthaired dogs.
2. Use long probes for longhaired or thick-coated dogs.
3. Finger-tighten the probes, then turn one additional
revolution with the probe wrench. Do not over-tighten.
Collar Strap:
1. Place the collar around the dog’s neck, receiver box on the
bottom.
2. Fit the strap as snugly as possible, without restricting
breathing.
3. Make sure both probes contact the dog’s skin.
4. Remove the collar and trim the excess, leaving 4-6 inches (if desired).
Dummy collars, which are non-operational but get the dog used to wearing a training collar, are also
available. Contact your nearest INNOTEK Service Center to order.
IMPORTANT!
• Always use the rubber insulators between the collar strap and 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 periodically for skin irritation.

Proper Fit: The collar strap fit
should be snug, yet loose enough
to allow one finger to fit between
the strap and dog’s neck. For Best Results: If the dog does not
seem to feel the stimulus, try moving
the receiver to another part of the
neck. This may improve the contact.
