Understanding the Remote

The handheld remote signals the
electronic collar to produce a harmless
yet effective stimulation or tone.

Remote Buttons:
STIMULATION (red central button) –
sends stimulation
signal to the collar at the intensity shown in the display
window. Button features four raised bumps, one at each
corner, to easily locate by touch.

Level UP (+) & Level DOWN (-) – adjusts the
stimulation intensity through a range of levels.
From Low-1 to High-9.

TONE

(center green button) – Produces a

training tone from the collar. No stimulation is delivered.
See page 4, “Tone Option”. Button is also used to turn
collar ON/OFF.

Dog 1/Dog 2 Collar

(right side button) – Switches

remote controls from Collar 1 to Collar 2, great when
training two dogs. IUT-300E users can purchase a second
accessory collar to expand their system to train two dogs.

Boost

(left side red button) – Produces stimulation 2

levels higher than the currently selected level. For example,
if the stimulation level is set at Level 2, a touch of the B
control will stimulate at Level 4. Some trainers like instant
access to a higher setting for circumstances where the dog
may not respond to lower levels, such as around high
distractions.

Antenna
The antenna helps transmit the signal to the collar. Take
care not to cover or shield the antenna with your body or
hand or you may see a reduction in transmission range.

Digital Display
The display shows stimulation levels 1
through 9. The lower part of the display shows
which collar is active. Press

button once or

twice until Collar 1 icon shows as active.
Pressing the red stimulation button sends a correction
command to the collar indicated on the display. The active
collar icon will display at the bottom of the window. The
display will stay ON, only going OFF 30 minutes after the
last button press.

Power Up
Remove the battery
access door by
unscrewing it with the
edge of a small coin. Insert
the 12v alkaline battery,
ensuring proper +/-

polarity. Replace the door and tighten by screwing down
with the coin.

The remote is waterproof, though submersion is not
recommended. It operates on a replaceable 12v alkaline
battery (23A or A23). These are commonly available where
you bought your system or where batteries are sold.

ON/OFF
To turn the training mode of the
collar on or off, hold the collar
within 2.5cm of the remote
antenna, taking care not to touch
the metal contacts that touch
your dog’s skin. Press

for

Collar button once or twice until
collar 1 shows as active. Press
the TONE

button. The collar

will emit a start-up tone, and the right-hand light will glow
solid green.

This ON/OFF command only works when remote and collar
are in close proximity; it will not work at a distance. Never
turn the unit ON/OFF while your dog is wearing the collar.

When not in use, be sure training function is OFF (right
hand collar light is off), or you may drain battery.

About Stimulation
We recommend that you always start training your dog
with the lowest stimulation, and increase to a higher level
if necessary. 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 may need to go to a lower level.

You control the length of the 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-correction engages. After 10
seconds, stimulation will be locked out for another 10
seconds.

Pressing the Boost button sends a signal to the collar to
issue a correction two levels higher than the currently
selected level. For example, if the stimulation level is set at
Level 2, a touch of the Boost control will correct at Level 4
. Some trainers like instant access to a higher setting for
circumstances with high distractions. The system will not
correct higher than Level 9.

Tone
The tone button sounds a tone in the collar. No stimulation
is delivered when this button is pressed. The tone

continues for as long as the button is held down. There
