Owner's Manual

CAUTION
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 pet 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 pet'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.
• - For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps
will
help keep your
pet
secure and comfortable.
Millions
of
pets are comfortable
while they wear stainless steel contacts.
Some
pets are sensitive to contact pressure.
You
may
find after some time that your pet is very tolerant
of
the
collar. If
so, you may relax some
of
these
precautions. It
is important to continue daily checks
of
the
contact area.
If redness
or
sores are
found, discontinue use
until
the skin has fully
healed.
You
may need
to
trim the hair in the area
of
the Contact Points. Never shave the
pet's neck; this may lead
to
a rash
or
infection.
To
prevent an unintended correction,
do
not
perform set
up
procedures while the
Receiver
Collar
is on your pet.
If
you are using a
collar and leash for training,
be
sure the extra
collar
does not
put pressure on the Contact Points
of
the Receiver
Collar.
