Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
Risk of explosion. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in fire,
or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected
from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.
Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this Product if your dog is
aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can
cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether this product is
appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.
Safety during on-leash training. It is vitally important that you and your dog remain
safe while learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash,
long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other
unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.
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. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known
as bed sores.
: 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 lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
: When using a separate collar for a lead, 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.
