Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

CAUTION

Do not spray the device or collar with

harsh chemicals including but not limited

to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that

any flea or tick spray that is applied to the

dog is completely dry before placing the

collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh

chemicals can damage the plastic

components and collar laminate.

Before you can put the collar on the dog,

you must pair the handheld device and

collar (page 3), and acquire satellite

signals (page 3).

Position the collar with the whip

antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna

facing up, and the LEDs facing

forward.

Place the collar around the middle of

the dog's neck.

Tighten the strap so it is snug around

the dog's neck.

NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and

should not be able to rotate or slide on

the dog's neck. The dog must be able

to swallow food and water normally.

You should observe your dog's

behavior to verify the collar is not too

tight.

If the strap is too long, cut off the

excess, leaving at least 7.62 cm (3 in.)

to spare.

Dog Tracking

The handheld device allows you to track

your dog, using the tracking compass or

map. The map displays your location and

your dog's location and tracks. The

compass pointer indicates the direction of

the dog's current location.

You should keep an unobstructed line of

sight between your handheld device and

the dog collar device to produce the best

communication signal. To achieve the best

line-of-sight conditions, you should move
