Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions
in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet's neck may
cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called
decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every
1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a leash to the electronic collar; it will cause
excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, don't put pressure
on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until
the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian.
