Understanding the Transmitter
This handheld device signals the collar receiver to pro-
duce stimulation and/or tone. The transmitter is water-
resistant and should not be immersed in water or placed
in a dishwasher.
Transmitter Buttons:
ADV-300P and ADV-1000P users
CONTINUOUS - you control the length of 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-correc-
tion engages. After 10 seconds, stimulation will be locked
out for another 10 seconds.
MOMENTARY - delivers a brief, pre-measured tap.
ID - selects a random ID Code from 2048 available in
case you experience interference problems from other
nearby training units. Press and hold the button for 3 sec-
onds. The display will show the letters PROG and quickly
scroll through numbers and then go blank. A new code
has been selected. Re-match the components as
described in Step 2 of the Quick Start Guide.
TONE - produces a tone from the collar. No stimulation is
delivered.
LEVEL UP - increases stimulation level
LEVEL DOWN - decreases stimulation level
ADV-1002 users
DOG 1 - Provides stimulation for Dog 1. Uses continu-
ous stimulation, meaning that you control the length of
stimulation by the time you press the button. For a short
tap, press and release the button. For a longer signal,
hold the button down. A maximum of 10 seconds may be
applied before the safety feature to prevent over-correc-
tion engages. After 10 seconds, stimulation will be locked
out for another 10 seconds.
DOG 2 – Provides stimulation for Dog 2. Also uses
continuous stimulation.
LEVEL UP - increases stimulation level for the dog indi-
cated in that column.
LEVEL DOWN - decreases stimulation level for the dog
indicated in that column.
The Digital Display
When either the continuous or momentary buttons are
pushed (1 or 2 on the ADV-1002), the display will indicate
the stimulation level being transmitted. For ADV-1002
users, after the stimulation button is released, the dog
number (Dog1/Dog2) and stimulation level will alternate
briefly.
When the Level UP or Level DOWN button is pushed, the
display will show the new level of stimulation.
LO BAT appears when the transmitter batteries needs to
be replaced.

When the tone button is pressed, a small bar will appear
to the left of the stimulation level 0 as no stimulation is
being delivered.
Replacement Batteries:
The ADV transmitters use two 6-volt alkaline batteries.
These are commonly available where you bought your
unit, where batteries are sold or call I-800-826-5527 to
order direct from us.
Understanding the Receiver
The ADV units use 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
• Pulsating green – tone only being delivered
• Blinking red light – low battery; charge as soon as
possible
• Solid green light – over-correction timeout; wait
10 seconds
• Blinking yellow light – collar should be matched
to transmitter
Testing the Receiver
• Hold the test light across the receiver probes
• Press the transmitter button for stimulation
• Test light will illuminate for the length of time stimulation
is being delivered
• The intensity of the light will increase as the level
increases
Charging the Receiver
The receiver has a long-life NiMH battery. It will take 12-
14 hours to fully charge and will operate up 72 hours
between charges depending on use and temperature.
Extreme temperatures (hot or cold) can significantly affect
battery life. Always charge at room temperature.
Collar should be fully charged once every 2-3 months.
The receiver will need to be matched with the transmitter
after charging. Follow Step 2 of the Quick Start Guide.
Matching the Transmitter and Receiver
Locate the red dot on transmitter and on receiver. Hold
components together at the dots until the receiver LED
glows green then amber. Press transmitter button; receiver
LED will glow red and deliver stimulation. The components
now work together. For the ADV-1002, do this step for Dog
1 using the yellow collar and Dog 2 using the black collar.
Perform this step each time you charge the receiver collar,
or replace transmitter battery.
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!
• Teach him what the commands mean before introducing
the collar as a reinforcement tool.
• Keep training sessions brief, about ten minutes of train-
ing and then a rest or play period of at least equal
length.
• Dogs learn through repetition. You may have better suc-
cess if you can elicit an undesired behavior when you
can anticipate it. For example, if the dog misbehaves
and jumps on visitors, have someone come in and out
of the front door several times over a half-hour period.
You’ll be expecting it and will be ready to teach your dog
the right behavior.
• Always end a training session on a positive note. Let the
dog have success. This way he’ll look forward to the
next session.
• Training should be fun for both you and your dog. Never
train when you are angry. If you get frustrated during
training, stop and come back to it later. Your dog will
learn better when you are both relaxed.
• We recommend your dog be at least six months old
before starting a remote training program. You will be
asking your dog to concentrate for periods of time and
to remember what you have taught. Young puppies do
not necessarily have the required mental development
or attention span for these activities.
• The goal of training is to condition your dog to respond
to your verbal commands under all situations. You
should plan on using the collar for at least four months.
A good rule is, once started with a remote trainer, to
always have the collar on when you take the dog out.
This will ensure that he will always be imprinted with the
correct response to your commands and that you are
always in control.

Troubleshooting
If the collar appears not to be working, try the following:
• Adjust the collar strap to fit.
• Test the receiver, if no light, recharge the battery in
the receiver.
• If the transmitter LED is out, replace the transmitter
batteries.
• Rematch the components as shown in Step 2 of the
Quick Start Guide.
• Check that the probes are tightened.
• Ensure that the probes are touching the dog’s skin.
• Trim the dog’s hair or use the longer probes to ensure
proper skin contact. Never shave the dog’s neck.
• Use a stronger stimulation level.
If you cannot solve the problem by following these steps,

the problem.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the complete instructions and follow all directions.
If you have any questions, please call 1-800-826-5527.
2. This device is intended for use only on dogs. Never
attempt to use it for any purpose not described in this
manual.
3. Never perform set-up procedures while the collar is on
your dog.
4. 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
consecutive hours.
• 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 probes of the
collar weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand
soap; rinse thoroughly.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours,
see your veterinarian.
5. Always use the rubber insulators between the
collar strap and probes to provide insulation
in damp conditions.
6. Other collars and metal tags 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; doing so will void the
warranty in full. The computerized circuitry should
be serviced only by an authorized expert.
8. Realize that because dogs have unique tempera-
ments, 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
control of the situation.
9. If you have reason to believe that your dog many
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 knowl-
edgeable professional dog trainer or animal
behaviorist with 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,
Invisible Technologies, its distributors, and dealers
cannot guarantee that the system will in all cases
keep the customer’s animal from disobeying
commands.
