A. Probes
• Make sure both probes contact the dog's skin. If needed, a small amount of hair removal or thin-
ning will improve probe contact with the skin.
• Use short probes for short-haired dogs. Use long probes for long-haired dogs. Special probes are
available for especially thick-haired dogs. Contact Innotek to order.
• Finger-tighten the probes, then turn them one additional revolution with the probe wrench. Do not
over-tighten.
• Always use the rubber insulators between the collar strap and probes to provide insulation in
damp conditions.
• Check the tightness of the probes regularly to prevent loss of the receiver box.
B. Collar Strap
•To prevent accidental correction inside the home, remove the collar from the dog's neck when it
comes inside.
• Place the collar around the dog's neck with the receiver box under the chin. The collar must be on
relatively tight to keep the probes making skin contact without restricting breathing. You should be
able to slide only one finger under the strap at the back of the dog's neck.
• Always make sure the collar is functioning properly BEFORE putting it on the dog.
• Remove other metal collars when the dog wears the containment collar. Metal collars may inter-
fere with proper operation.
• Remove the collar and trim the excess strap, leaving 4 to 6 inches.

HOW THE CORRECTION WORKS
1. Pre-Correction Warning Tone: When the dog reaches the edge of the signal field in the yard, it will
hear a warning tone that lasts about two seconds. If the dog does not return to the safe part of the
yard, it will receive a continuous correction until it returns to the safe area.
2. Run-Through Prevention: The receiver automatically increases the correction as the dog enters
the signal field. The dog cannot "run through" the signal field without receiving a strong correction.
3. Over-Correction Prevention: In the unlikely event that the dog becomes "trapped" in the signal
field, the system shuts off for 10 seconds before resuming correction for another 20 seconds. This
pattern will alternate until the dog retreats to the safe area or the system is turned off.
