IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the entire instruction manual
and follow all directions. If you have
any questions, please call 1-800-
826-5527.
2. This system is intended for use only
on dogs. Never attempt to use it for
any purpose not described in this
manual.
3. Keep out of the reach of children
4. Never perform set-up procedures
while the Receiver collar is on your
dog.
5. Any collar worn for extended
periods can cause a condition similar
to bedsores, known as Pressure
Necrosis. To reduce the possibility,
you must do the following:
• Never leave the collar on the dog for
more than 12 hours per day.
• Examine the dog’s neck daily for any
signs of a rash or a sore.
• Supervise your dog during the first 2
days of training.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive
pressure; you should be able to
insert one finger between the collar
strap and your dog’s skin.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the
contacts of the collar weekly with a
washcloth and mild hand soap; rinse
thoroughly.
• If the condition persists beyond 24
hours, consult your veterinarian.
6. Metal tags and collars should be
removed when using the remote
training collar as they may interfere
with proper operation.
7. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair
any components of this system;

8. Realize that because dogs have
unique temperament, there is no way
of knowing how your dog will react to
the introduction of a remote training
collar system. For the safety of your
dog, a long lead should be used
during initial training so you have
complete control of the situation.
9. If you have reason to believe that your
dog may pose a danger to others,
harm itself, or react adversely to the
collar, do not rely solely on this
product to train your dog. If your dog
shows signs of growling, snarling, or
biting while using the collar, stop
immediately. Aggression in dogs has
many causes. We recommend that
you consult a knowledgeable
professional dog trainer or animal
behaviorist who has experience with
aggressive dogs if your dog has
shown any of these characteristics.
10. Occasionally, a dog cannot be
trained to respond to a remote
training collar. Sometimes even a
properly trained dog may disobey a
command. Therefore, Innotek, Inc.,
its distributors, and dealers cannot
guarantee that the system will in all
cases keep the customer’s dog from
disobeying commands.
11. To maintain maximum range, keep
the Transmitter antenna away from all
magnets, especially the very strong
magnet in the Receiver’s charging
cradle. Exposure to a magnet may
permanently diminsh range.
