• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure;
you should be able to insert one finger
between the collar strap and your dog’s skin.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the probes of
the collar weekly with a wash cloth.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, see
your veterinarian.
5. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any
components of this system; doing so will void
the warranty in full. The computerized circuit-
ry should be serviced only by an authorized
expert.
6. Realize that because dogs have unique tem-
peraments, there is no way of knowing how
your dog will react to the introduction of a
training collar system. For the safety of your
dog, a long lead should be used during initial
training so you have control of the situation.
7. If you have reason to believe that your dog
may pose a danger to others, harm itself, or
react adversely to the collar, do not rely solely
on this product to train your dog. If your dog
shows signs of growling, snarling or biting
while using the collar, stop immediately.
Aggression in dogs has many causes. We rec-
ommend that you consult a knowledgeable
professional dog trainer or animal behaviorist
with experience with aggressive dogs if your
dog has shown any of these characteristics.
8. Occasionally, a dog cannot be trained to
respond to a training collar. Sometimes even a
properly trained dog may disobey a command.
Therefore, INNOTEK, its distributors, and deal-
ers cannot guarantee that the system will in all
cases keep the customer’s animal from dis-
obeying commands.
Multiple Dog
Households
All Zones and collars
come preset in
mode A. In multiple
dog households, it
may be desired to
allow one dog
access to an area while denying access to
another. Each collar can operate on one of two
different modes – A or B. Each Zone may also
be set to either A, B, or both (A and B) to allow
multiple configurations.
Changing the system mode setting
1. Turn the collar ON and set it near the Zone.
2. With the Zone turned off, press and hold the
DOWN arrow button until a vertical bar
appears in the window. This bar will indicate
whether the Zone is set to mode A or mode B.
The collar will be programmed to reflect the
mode setting on your transmitter. Continue to
press and hold the DOWN arrow button
through the end of the next step. Note: You
cannot reprogram the collar if the Zone is set
on A/B mode.
3. Press and release the UP arrow button until
desired mode is indicated. Now press and
hold the UP arrow button until one bar seg-
ment appears, followed by three beeps from
the collar. The collar is now set for your cho-
sen mode.
4. Important: Any collar that is within 10 feet of
the transmitter and turned on will be repro-
grammed by these steps. You may use this
feature to program multiple collars at once.
However, make sure any collar you do not
wish to reset is turned off during this proce-
dure. Do not perform set up procedure
while the collar is on your dog.
Your Dog’s First Session
Activate the
collar by
turning the
receiver bat-
tery cover
clockwise to
the ON posi-
tion. Move
your dog to
an area away from the pet-free zone before
turning the collar on. Allow your dog to enter the
zone on his own.
Monitor your dog during his first session. Dogs
learn at different speeds. It may take several
times for your dog to honor the pet-free zone.You
may also need to adjust the range so that your
dog receives the warning sooner.
If you find that your dog is confused or unsure
how to avoid the correction, it may be useful to
put a long leash on your dog and show him how
to avoid the Zone by gently guiding him out of the
range once he has entered. Be sure to praise
your dog for leaving the pet-free zone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT RANGE
Your INNOTEK Zones transmitter communicates
with your pet’s collar via a radio frequency signal
and under normal circumstances will cover an
area up to 12 feet in diameter or a 6 foot radius.
Due to the inherent properties of radio signals,
some locations may affect the maximum range
that can be achieved. This may be particularly
noticeable around metal objects.
Should you find that you are not getting the
desired range at the maximum setting, altering
the Zone location by a few feet or changing how
the Zone is positioned (ie: standing on end
instead of laying flat) may help cover your pet
free area.
Testing the Zone
You may wish to verify the range of the pet-free
zone. Holding the collar, start outside the range
and walk slowly toward the Zone. The collar will
emit a high-pitched tone as it approaches the
outer range of the pet-free zone followed by an
escalating level of correction as it moves closer
to the Zone. Note: This tone is easily heard by
dogs, but may be a pitch that is difficult for you
to hear. If you cannot hear the
tone, hold the supplied test
light on the collar
probes and repeat this
test.
Turning the Units OFF
To turn the Zone off, continue to press and
release the DOWN arrow button until no bars are
present in the window. The Zone is now OFF. To
turn the collar off, simply twist the battery cover
to the center stop position.
Receiver Batteries
The Zones collar uses two 3-volt Lithium coin
cell batteries, size CR2032. These are commonly
available where batteries are sold. To replace the
batteries, twist the battery cover counterclock-
wise to the OPEN position. Lift the cap out,
remove the old batteries, and insert new batter-
ies positive (+) side up facing the battery cap lid.
CAUTION FOR BATTERY USE:
• Do not disassemble
• Do not short circuit
• Do not expose to high temperature: 60°C/140°F
• Do not incinerate
• Avoid high humidity
• Keep batteries out of reach of children
Batteries must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. They should NEVER
be placed in municipal waste. Should
it be necessary to remove or replace
your unit’s battery, your INNOTEK Service Center
will dispose of it according to local regulations.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the complete manual and follow all direc-
tions. If you have any questions, please visit
www.innotek.net.
2. This device is intended for use only on dogs.
Never attempt to use it for any purpose not
described in this manual.
3. Never perform set-up procedures while the
collar is on your dog.
4. Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a
condition similar to bedsores, known as Pressure
Necrosis. To reduce the possibility, you must do
the following:
• Never leave the collar on the dog for more than
12 consecutive hours.
• Examine the dog’s neck daily for any signs of
a rash or a sore.
• Supervise your dog during the first 2 days of
training.
