Petsafe Innotek Command Series Remote Trainer - Manual (Page 8)

Turning the Collar Receiver On and Off
1. The collar receiver features a magnetic ON/OFF switch. Turn the receiver ON/OFF using the
magnet built into the transmitter, or a strong household magnet.
2. Locate the red paper dot on both the transmitter and collar receiver.
3. Slide its surface against the red paper dot on the receiver. A continuous short GREEN flash
indicates that the receiver is ON. One long RED flash followed by no light indicates the receiv-
er is OFF. (
Note: A continuous short RED flash indicates the receiver is ON but the battery is
low and must be replaced.)
4. Always turn the collar receiver OFF when not in use.
Note: Whenever the transmitter battery is replaced,
the transmitter must be resynchronized.
Fitting the Collar to Your Dog Probes
• Use short probes for short-haired dogs
• Use long probes for long-haired or thick-coated dogs
• Finger-tighten the probes, then turn one additional
revolution with the probe wrench. Do not over-tighten.
Collar Strap
• Place the collar around the dog's neck with the receiver box on the bottom.
• Fit the strap as snugly as possible, without restricting breathing.
• Make sure both probes contact the dog's skin.
• Remove the collar and trim the excess collar length, leaving 10 to 15 cm.
Proper Fit: The collar strap fit should be snug, yet
loose enough to allow two fingers to fit between the
strap and dog’s neck.
For Best Results: If the dog does not seem to be feeling
the stimulus, try moving the receiver to another part of
the neck. This may improve the contact.
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.
