Caution
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper
fi t 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 fi t 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.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
