ATTENTION
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the
dog's neck for an extended period of time can cause
skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the contact
points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long
periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every
few hours so that the contact points are moved to a
different location on the dog's neck and remove the
receiver after 8 hours of usage. Make sure you check
for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

4. HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT STIMULATION
The 280C unit comes with the rheostat dial on the
transmitter. The rheostat intensity dial controls the
stimulation level, with level 0 being the lowest level and
level 127 being the highest.
The level of stimulation best suited for your dog
depends on your dog's temperament and threshold for
stimulation. Always start at the lowest level and work
your way up.
The appropriate level can be found when the dog
responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as
a tensing of the neck muscles. The stimulation level may
vary depending on the training situation. When highly
distracted, dogs will require a higher level of stimulation.
NOTE: The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even
while the stimulation is in use.
