IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the complete manual 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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
No-bark 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 temperaments, there is
no way of knowing how your dog will react to the introduction of a
No-bark 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 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 No-bark 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.
