Fit the Receiver Collar

9
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The
Contact Points must have direct contact with your cat's skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the batteries are not installed in the Receiver Collar.
2. Start with your cat standing comfortably (9A).
3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your cat's neck, touching the skin. Note: It is
sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact
is consistent.
4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one
finger between the end of a Contact Point and your cat's
neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting (9B).
5. Allow your cat to wear the collar for several minutes then
recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your cat becomes
more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
6. Trim the collar as follows (9C):
a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a
pen. Allow for growth if your cat is young or grows a
thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your cat and cut off
the excess.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your cat, seal
the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the
frayed edge.
Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure the following:
• During the fi rst 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your pet without
direct supervision.
• Check the fi t to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one fi nger between the Contact Point
and your pet's skin.
• Never leave the Receiver Collar on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours.
• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.
• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few days.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• Your pet's neck and the Contact Points must be washed
then rinsed thoroughly.
CAUTION
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and
prolonged contact against the contact points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.
The system should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is injured or its
mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
CAUTION
Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly
against your pet's neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the
extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
