Petsafe Innotek Advanced Remote Trainer - Manual (Page 3)

Transmitter: Insert 12v alkaline bat-
tery in the transmitter positive (+)
side out. Replace metal cap.
Receiver: Insert 6v alkaline battery
in the receiver positive (+) side out.
Replace metal cap. The LED on the
receiver will begin flashing amber.
Understanding the Transmitter
The handheld device signals the collar receiver to
produce stimulation and/or or tone. The transmitter
is water-resistant and should not be immersed in
water or placed in a dishwasher.
Transmitter Buttons
1-LOW to 4-MAX. - Select any of 4 stimulation lev-
els instantly. We recommend that you always start
training your dog with the lowest stimulation, and
increase to a higher level if necessary. You will
know when you’ve reached the right level when
your dog responds by twitching his head, neck or
shoulders or by perking up his ears. If the dog
vocalizes, you need to go to a lower level.
You control the length of the stimulation by the time
you press the button. For a short stimulation, press
and release the button. For a longer stimulation,
hold the button down. A maximum of 10 seconds
may be applied before the safety feature to prevent
over-correction engages. After 10 seconds, stimula-
tion will be locked out for another 10 seconds.
GOOD Tone Button
Simply press the GOOD tone button when your
dog does something good and follow up immedi-
ately with a favorite treat and plenty of praise. Your
dog will quickly learn to associate the GOOD tone
with proper behavior.
BAD Tone Button
The BAD tone followed by the stimulation is used
for inappropriate behavior. Your dog will quickly
learn to associate the BAD tone with inappropriate
behavior. You can then use the BAD tone alone to
discourage misbehaviors.
PROGRAM - used together with buttons on the
transmitter face to change ID Codes or set tone-
with-correction options.
Your transmitter has an LED light:
• Pulsating green light - unit is transmitting
• Pulsating red light - low battery
• Alternating red-green - change ID code
Changing the ID Code
The SD-100A offers 2,048 ID codes in case you
experience problems from other nearby training
units. To change codes:
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the
back of the transmitter.
2. Continue pressing PROGRAM, while pressing
1-LOW on the face of the transmitter.
3. Release only the PROGRAM button, while con-
tinuing to press 1-LOW.
4. When the LED ceases flashing red-green,
release 1-LOW.
After changing the ID code it is necessary to
rematch the components. Hold components togeth-

Step 2
Match Components
Press GOOD Tone button on the
transmitter within 30 seconds of
installing receiver battery. The
components now work together.
You may wish to set tone mode
before working with your dog. See
“Setting/Changing the Tone Mode.”
Step 3
Turning the Collar ON and OFF
Before putting the collar
on the dog, briefly touch
the two red paper dots
together (one on receiver, one on transmitter) to turn the
collar on.
ON - a brief solid green light and tone indicate that the col-
lar is on, ready to use. A green light will blink while the col-
lar is on.
OFF - A brief solid red light and tone will indicate the collar
has been turned off.
A magnet in the transmitter, indicated with a red paper dot,
activates the receiver’s ON/OFF switch, also indicated with
a red paper dot.
Proper Fit: The collar fit should be snug, yet
loose enough to allow one finger to fit
between the strap and the dog’s neck. Fit is
important because a loose collar may cause inconsistent
performance. It’s okay to trim any excess strap length.
Step 4
Adjust the collar
er at the dots as shown in the Quick Start Guide
until the receiver LED glows green then amber.
Press GOOD tone on your transmitter; the
receiver LED will glow red and the unit will deliv-
er stimulation. The components now work together.
Perform this step each time you change the ID
code.
Setting/Changing the Tone Mode
You can set the SD-100A to deliver the BAD tone
automatically when you push a stimulation button.
Three settings are possible – tone with the stimula-
tion, tone followed by delayed stimulation or stimu-
lation only.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the
back of the transmitter.
2. Continue pressing PROGRAM, while pressing
and holding one of the following to select the tone
option:
• BUTTON 2 for tone ON with stimulation
• BUTTON 3 for tone OFF with stimulation
• BUTTON 4 for tone with a one-second delay
before stimulation
3. While continuing to hold BUTTON 2, 3, or 4,
release the PROGRAM button. The transmitter
light will stay solid for a couple of seconds, and
then go out.
4. As soon as the solid light goes out, release BUT-
TON 2, 3, or 4.
Understanding the Receiver
The collar receiver produces stimulation and/or an
audible tone. The receiver is water-resistant and
should not be immersed in water or placed in a
dishwasher.
The collar receiver uses a LED light to let you know
the status of the receiver:
• Blinking green light - collar is on and ready to use
• Solid green light - over-correction timeout; wait 10
seconds
• Blinking amber light - collar should be matched to
transmitter
• Pulsating amber light - low battery; change battery
as soon as possible
Testing the Receiver
You may wish to test the collar from time to time. To
test:
• Hold the test light provided across the receiver
probes.
• Press a stimulation button 1-LOW to 4-MAX.
• Test light will illuminate.
• The intensity of the test light will increase as the
level increases.
Replacement batteries
Your SD-100A transmitter uses a 12-volt alkaline
battery, and the receiver uses a 6-volt alkaline bat-
tery. These are commonly available where you
