Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
CAUTION
To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour
period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person.
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 strap.
Before you can put the collar on the dog, you must pair the navigator and dog collar device (Methods to Add
a Dog Collar Device to a Handheld Device, page7), and acquire satellite signals (Acquiring Satellite Signals,
page6).
In order to effectively train the dog, the collar must fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or prevent successful training.
1 Position the collar with the communication antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna facing up, the LEDs facing
forward, and the contact points against the neck.
2 Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
