4. Receiver Fitting
The receiver/collar should be fitted so that the surgical
stainless steel contact points press firmly against the
dog's skin. When properly fitted, you should be able to
fit a finger or two snugly in between the contact points
and your dog's skin. When properly fitted, the receiver/
collar should not move on the dog. The best location
for the receiver/collar box is either side of the dog's
windpipe. A loose fit can allow the receiver/collar to
move around on the dog's neck. When this happens,
the contact points may rub the skin and cause irritation.
If the receiver/collar is too tight, the dogs may have
difficulty breathing.

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.
5. Finding the Right Stimulation
The 1900S HANDSFREE PLUS has a Rheostat Dial on
the top of the transmitter (0 is the lowest and 127 is the
highest). Remember that you will need to adjust the
setting (upward or downward) depending 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. Also, as the dog's
attitude changes, especially during times of increased
excitement or distraction, you may need to adjust the
intensity level.
Note: The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even
when the stimulation is in use.
