Collar adjustment
Collar adjustment is very important. In fact, this setting determines the proper barking
detection and the correct transmission of the stimulations.
The strap should be adjusted so that the contact points come right into contact with the dog's
skin:
- If the strap is too loose, the collar will not operate properly. Moreover, the collar is likely to
move and repeated friction can irritate your dog's skin.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your
dog's neck.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (see §
Changing the contact points).
How to check that your product is functioning properly
You can check that your collar is functioning properly at any time using the following procedure:
- Before doing so, make sure that the collar is turned "off" (indicator light off).
- Place the neon test lamp in contact with each of the contact points (by unscrewing them then
by screwing them up in order to grip wires of the lamp under the contact points).
- Turn "on" the collar with the magnetic key.
- Make a streaked object (ex. knife with teeth and isolated sleeve) slide on the bark detection
contact point (See Diagram 1).
- The collar should emit beep sounds and the test lamp should light (on operating mode Nr 1,
the test lamp will not light - mode Nr 1 is the "beep sound only" mode).
- Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the collar is turned "off" (indicator light off).
Cautions for use
- The bark limiter collar is showerproof (but not waterproof).
- The dog should not wear any medal, metallic collar, or any other kind of collar together with
the bark limiter collar.
- Do not place or keep the collar in places exposed to high temperatures.
- A charge/discharge cycle is recommended once a month.
- Under no circumstances should you open the collar. You could damage some components
and endanger the showerproof function of your product. Moreover, if you do this, your
guarantee will be cancelled.
