Petsafe Innotek Basic Remote Trainer - Manual (Page 3)

The collar fit should be snug,
yet loose enough to allow
one finger to fit between the
strap and dog’s neck. Fit is
important because a loose
collar may cause inconsis-
tent performance. It’s okay to
trim any excess strap length.
Understanding the Transmitter
This handheld device signals the collar receiver to
produce stimulation and/or tone. A red LED will
pulse when it is transmitting a signal. The transmit-
ter is water-resistant and should not be immersed in
water or placed in a dishwasher.
All of the transmitter’s settings may be changed
using internal switches. To access, use a small
screwdriver or coin to open the battery compart-
ment. Hold the transmitter with the antenna pointing
down. The switches are labeled 1 to 8 from left to
right. “Up” is toward the battery. “Down” is toward
the white button.
Setting Stimulation Level:
The FS-15 offers 7 level of stimulation, Level 1
being the lowest, Level 7 being the highest. The unit
is preset to Level 1.
The stimulation level is determined by the positions
of switches 1, 2 and 3 as indicated in the chart
below:
It is recommended that you start training your dog
at Level 1. Move to the next level if you are not get-
ting the desired response. 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.
On occasion, such as around compelling distrac-
tions, a stronger level is needed immediately. For
those instances, use the booster switch on the side
of the transmitter. Sliding the switch up toward the
antenna will instantly increase the stimulation two
levels above its current setting. Sliding the switch
toward the eyelet restores the previous level.
The FS-15 uses continuous stimulation, meaning
that you control the length of each stimulation by
the amount of time you hold the white button. For a
short tap, press and release the white button. For a
longer signal, hold the button down. A maximum of
10 seconds may be applied before the safety feature to
prevent over-correction engages. After 10 seconds, stim-
ulation will be locked out for another 10 seconds.
Setting the Tone Options:
The FS-15 has three tone options – no tone, tone with
stimulation and tone only for 1.5 seconds followed by
stimulation. The unit comes preset with no tone. Switches
4 and 5 control the tone options:
No tone – both switches up toward battery.
Tone with stimulation – switch 4 up with switch 5 down
Tone with delayed stimulation – both switches down.
Changing the ID Code:
The FS-15 offers 8 ID codes in case you experience
problems from other nearby training units. Switches 6, 7
and 8 set the ID code. To change your code, simply
change the position of any one of these switches and
then re-match the components as described in Step 2 of
the Quick Start Guide.
Understanding the Receiver
The FS-15 uses a LED light to let you know the status of
the collar.
Blinking green light – collar is on and ready to use
Pulsating red light – stimulation is being delivered
Blinking red light – low battery; change as soon as
possible
Solid green light – over-correction timeout; wait 10 sec-
onds
Blinking amber light – collar should be matched to
transmitter
Testing the Receiver
You may wish to test the collar from time to time. To test
the collar:
• Hold the test light across the receiver probes
• Press the transmitter button
• Test light will illuminate
• The intensity of the light will increase as the level
increases
Replacement Batteries:
The FS-15 uses a 6-volt alkaline battery in the collar
receiver and a 12-volt alkaline battery in the transmitter.
These are commonly available where you bought your
unit, where batteries are sold or call I-800-826-5527 to
order direct from us.
Training Tips
Watch the included video to get the basics for training
your dog properly with a remote trainer.
Always praise your dog for good behavior!
Your dog will respond better if he knows what you want
of him. Teach him what the commands mean before
introducing the collar as a reinforcement tool.

Step 2
Match Components
Step 1
Power Up
Locate the red dot on transmitter and on receiver.
Hold components together at the dots until the receiv-
er LED glows green then amber. Separate compo-
nents. Press transmitter button; receiver LED will pul-
sate red and deliver stimulation. The components
now work together. Perform this step each time you
change the batteries.
Insert battery positive (+) side out.
Replace metal screw cap.
Turning the Collar ON and OFF
Before putting collar on your dog, briefly touch the two
red paper dots together to turn the collar on and off.
ON - A brief, solid green light and tone indicate that
the collar is on, ready to use. A green light will blink
while the collar is activated.
OFF - A brief, solid red light and tone indicate the col-
lar has been turned off.
