Owner's Manual

The receiver collar has
injured my pet’s neck.
• Failing to follow the important safety
information at the front of the manual has
caused pressure ulcers. Some descriptions of
advanced pressure ulcers describe the sores as
looking like burns on the pet’s neck. Be assured
that electronic collars do not use enough
energy to create electrical burns. The energy
in an output pulse is only a few thousandths of
a Joule; it is similar in nature to the static pulse
that you may feel when getting out of your car.
In some cases, pressure ulcers are described
as chemical burns. The battery in your receiver
collar is sealed; in addition, your collar’s
housing is also sealed. This redundant sealing
makes it virtually impossible, without misuse or
abuse, for your receiver collar battery to leak
onto your pet’s neck. Please review and follow
the important safety information starting on
page 3 and the instructions in Step 3 under the
heading “Fit the Receiver Collar” on page15.
