THE TRANSMITTER The Transmitter signals the electronic Receiver collar to produce a harmless, yet effective stimulation and/or tone. The no-slip grip feels comfortable in your hand for extended periods of training or field time. Dog Select – (bottom center button) – Switches Transmitter control from Dog (Collar) 1 to Dog (Collar) 2, and back, for training two dogs. You can purchase a second collar to expand the system for training two dogs.

Double Reward Alternate Stimulation (Alt Stim) Double Reward is the term used when a stimulation is followed by a half-second delay and then a half-second reward tone. Some trainers depend upon instant access to a higher stimulation setting for circumstances where the dog may not respond to lower levels, such as a high distraction environment. Your Transmitter features a red, preset Alt Stim button that you can use to deliver an alternate (higher) level of stimulation.

Cold Weather Operation In cold temperatures (10°F or below), the liquid crystal display (LCD) on your Transmitter may be dim or slow to respond. Wait until the display becomes visible before selecting any training commands. Cold temperatures may lead to a premature low battery signal, so keep the transmitter close to your body during cold weather. One way to keep the transmitter close to your body is by using the lanyard.

Fitting the Collar and Receiver The collar strap should fit snugly towards the top of your dog’s neck with the receiver on the bottom of the neck. Check that the INNOTEK® logo is right side up. You should be able to get one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s neck. The contacts must touch the dog’s skin for proper operation. A little hair thinning may be required. Do not shave your dog’s neck.
Testing the Receiver In order to make sure the Receiver is getting signals from the Transmitter, you may wish to test the Receiver from time to time. To test: 1. Hold the included Test Light across the Receiver’s contacts. (Refer to the illustration at the bottom of this column, the holes in the Test Light go over the contact tips; make sure the wire inside the hole touches the contact tip.) 2. Press the Stimulation button on the Transmitter. 3. The Test Light lights up.
Training Tone Option Training Tips The Tone button causes the collar to produce a sound. No stimulation is delivered when the Tone button is pressed. The tone continues for as long as the button is held down, up to 10 seconds. A tone can help strengthen a dog’s response to training. The tone can be used as a warning tone prior to pressing the stimulation button; or can be a reward tone when presented with praise, play, or food for good behavior.
• The goal of training is to condition your dog to respond to your verbal commands in all situations. You should plan on using the Receiver collar for at least four months. A good rule is, once started with a remote training system, to regularly have the Receiver collar on when you take the dog out. This will ensure that he will always be imprinted with the correct response to your commands and that you are always in control.
