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. Keep out of the reach of children.
4. Never perform set-up procedures while the 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
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 contacts of the
collar weekly with a washcloth and mild hand soap;
rinse thoroughly.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, see your
veterinarian.
6. Metal tags or 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; 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 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 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, Invisible
